I think it's more than fan or GPU load issue. There are two reasons.
Firstly, GPUs are not suddenly start eating CPU one day. System has
been running fine for 3 years and months on exactly same setup.
Secondly, if you look into this screenshot[1] I have just booted ON
the laptop and it was already running at 84C. The only thing that was
started was Chrome newtab. You see load is way to high but none of the
processes are taking up too much resources.
