[SOLVED] CPU an running at 100%

As a new user to EndeavourOS I have a problem with the CPU fan running at full speed the whole time. The result from the sensors comand is :

Code:

$ sensors
iwlwifi_1-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +24.0°C  

acpitz-acpi-0
Adapter: ACPI interface
temp1:        +28.0°C  (crit = +130.0°C)

nouveau-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
fan1:        1477 RPM
temp1:        +30.0°C  (high = +95.0°C, hyst =  +3.0°C)
                       (crit = +105.0°C, hyst =  +5.0°C)
                       (emerg = +135.0°C, hyst =  +5.0°C)

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Package id 0:  +25.0°C  (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0:        +24.0°C  (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1:        +23.0°C  (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 2:        +22.0°C  (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 3:        +22.0°C  (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

As I understand it the system is not picking upp the CPU fan? There should be a line with the RPM just after the line "Adapter: ISA adapter"?
I have tried to execute the cmd sensors-detect which did not retrun any errors but did quite a lot of probing.
Am I correct about the missing sensor and what should I do as a next step?

Have you dug in the BIOS? Down in the deep stuff, there are some heat settings there.
Another option at those low temperatures is to stop acpi altogether, and see if temperatures rise.

I have previously been running Mint and also have a Windows install alongside. Both work well so I would really like to get this sorted out within the EndeavourOS install. I will check this as it does make a lot of sense to handle this type of "low-level" process in the BIOS.

I was sure that I had added the nvidia drivers but that was not the case. Problem solved.

So it was a GPU fan, and not CPU.

Correct!
