Hello,
I've been having problems with my MacBook Pro (late 2019, 16 Inches). Even when I do "non-demanding" tasks and I'm connected to connected to my external display (for example: split external display and Mac display with a YouTube video) the temperature rises suddenly by about 10 degrees, the fans max out and kernel_task reaches 700% and doesn't lower until I disconnect the monitor.
My equipment:

Thank you in advance!
Note: Forgot to say that it seems to work fine on a Samsung monitor. It still made some noise but kernel_task problem probably went away.

My equipment:
- LG 29UM69G-B,
- Apple Magic Keyboard with numeric keyboard,
- USB-C Multiport Pro Satechi adapter,
- USB C to DisplayPort (4k@60Hz) cable, from uni.
- Reset NVRAM.
- Reset SMC.
- OS update to latest version.
- Do not overload ports on one side: USB charging on the right and display USB on the left.
- Deactivate FireVault.
- Change the on-screen connection method: from hub to direct cable.
- Firmware update to the latest version by Apple workshop.
- Clean OS installation by Apple workshop. Total factory reset.
- No backup was restored in case it was a software problem.
