Fans are running constantly

Hi, I have Dell Pro Max 14 MC14250 with Ubuntu 24.04. I have an issue with fans - they are running constantly. Not fully, I would say on 40-50%.

  • I have checked processes, there is not anything greedy (as of now, only 9% maximum by Chrome, and next 1.75% CPU by gnome-shell),
  • I have checked sensors, all of them are 50.0°C maximum.
  • The battery has full capacity (and besides I am plugged in to the electricity),
  • This notebook is relatively new (09/25), always kept indoor, so I do not believe it has dust inside.
  • The fans run also when I turn off everything, and put energy mode to Balanced or Power Saver,
  • I have tried Live USB Try Ubuntu, the fans were running as well, so I believe it has nothing to do with the operating system directly. 

Can somebody advise how to solve this? I can live with this issue but I believe it is not normal and it would shorten the lifespan of the laptop. 

Thank you.
