Default fan config of asus will start fan at 35°C of CPU
This can be fixed with using notebook fan control (https://github.com/hirschmann/nbfc/wiki/First-steps)
To do that, install it (steps are from link)
cd /tmp/
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hirschmann/nbfc.git
cd nbfc/
sudo apt-get install mono-complete
./build.sh
sudo mkdir -p /opt/nbfc/
sudo cp -r ./Linux/bin/ReleaseLinux/* /opt/nbfc/
sudo cp ./Linux/*.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl enable nbfc --now
# recommend a config file
/opt/nbfc/nbfc.exe config -r
# for UX310UA there is no config file yet, but the UX360UAK also seems to work
/opt/nbfc/nbfc.exe config --set "Asus Zenbook Flip UX360UAK"
# start in read only mode
/opt/nbfc/nbfc.exe start -r
# check readings
/opt/nbfc/nbfc.exe status -a
# if ok, enable control
/opt/nbfc/nbfc.exe start -e
Check https://github.com/hirschmann/nbfc/wiki/Command-line-interface for more command line optios
To control your fan (without the software, cpu might get too hot and damanged), install psensor.
sudo apt-get install psensor
Configure it with an alert, as described in https://itsfoss.com/check-laptop-cpu-temperature-ubuntu/

I have Asus ZenBook UX310UQ and Ubuntu 16.04 on board. In addition to very very noisy fan also frustrating short period battery life compared to Windows, it work maximum 2.5h. I tested on Windows - on videos playing ZenBook works 7h (small screen brightness).
Сan you recommend something for increasing battery life on ubuntu?
