I have been using Debian since the beginning of this year. I have an ASUS K53s laptop. I have some issues that I think are related and I don't know how to solve them.
1. Fan speed is usually very high. At boot it's at 100%, and after login, even if it's in idle, fan speed is very high. I have thermald running

2. The laptop has an Nvidia GT 520MX, but I'm not sure if the video processing is being done by the GPU or by the CPU and that's caussing the temperature problem. Also, the video is very choppy, I hardly can see a youtube video. The ouput of "nvidia-smi"
