Quite a lot of thermal management is split up into different areas:
CPU itself, ACPI, logic board firmware, kernel, and user space.

I suggest making sure the logic board firmware is up to date as a first step.

sensors isn't a default package. New in Fedora 33, thermald is
installed and enabled by default.

I have run out of things to try, so I started to pursue the thermald issue.

You say it's part of F33:
- and yet it is not part of the KDE spin.
- so I installed both thermald and thermald_monitor
- installing thermald doesn't start the service, so I started it manually
- installing thermald didn't create its config file,  looking at it's man page
  I looked for possible config files... there are none.
- The man page talk about a config file generator tool called dptfxtract
  Also not part of those packages! and so not installed.

  Following the man page leads me to a reference to github, where it tells
  you, you also need acpidump. (I found that in package acpica-tools, downloaded it
  and ran it as per those instructions, but I'm still stopped by the missing dptfxtract.)

So, I can't see how thermald is part of F33.

Following up on my own email...

I downloaded the F33 Workstation spin, and ran it 'live'.
Thermald is part of it (unlike it being missing on the KDE spin).
Looking at: 'service thermald status' I see:

Dec 04 17:11:00 fedora systemd[1]: Starting Thermal Daemon Service...
Dec 04 17:11:02 fedora systemd[1]: Started Thermal Daemon Service.
Dec 04 17:11:02 fedora thermald[1212]: Found unsupported APAT version 1
Dec 04 17:11:02 fedora systemd[1]: thermald.service: Main process exited, code=dumped, status=5/TRAP
Dec 04 17:11:02 fedora systemd[1]: thermald.service: Failed with result 'core-dump'.

I tried Googling for that error, but turned up empty.

I did manage to run it using following (after adding 'liveuser' to the 'power' group):

sudo thermald --no-daemon --dbus-enable --loglevel=debug

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1894178 is for a different problem, but
has example debug logs and has resulted in a newer version of thermald than you
get with a "live" distro.   The recommendation was to run:

* sudo killall -9 thermald"
* sudo thermald --no-daemon --adaptive --loglevel=debug
