I feel like I've tested/tried other things but going a bit blank at the moment.
I ran the Apple diagnostics, found no issues. Im constantly checking to make sure the vents aren't blocked. I have it elevated on a hard cover book as its usually on my bed. This also seems to temporarily cool it down but again it depends, sometimes will start up doing this almost immediately. I've also tried just shutting off the computer, letting it rest for over 20 mins. This will occasionally seem to calm it down for several more hours.but then other times it only seems only delay it for 10 mins or so. *Sometimes* If I set it on the Higher RPM it seems to speed up the process and help it cool down faster.once its cooled down I will set it back to default. Ive installed Clean my Mac to keep an eye on the CPU load and temp, as well as SMC Fan Control. I have tried several things - I reset the SMC fan setting via instructions from apple. Other days (like today) It has been doing this off and on the entire day, for sometimes over an hour at a time. It also seems to be very random - some days it will do that hardly at all, or for maybe 30 mins or so after I've been using it for several hours, and then calm down. Honestly I am not too worried about the heat itself I know its normal for Macs to run hot - but the fan is driving me crazy, its extremely distracting and keeps me from concentrating on whatever it is I'm trying to do. Simply was just idling, all apps were closed - and there it goes again. I would maybe be less surprised if I were gaming or running recording software, other heavy apps, but again to be clear, this keeps happening when literally all I'm running is safari, or one time nothing at all. I don't know what's causing it to do this. Sometimes it will go on when all I'm running is Safari, I've checked multiple times for apps running in the background (Activity Monitor itself is taking up more CPU power than anything else) It tends to stay quiet around 45 C when I'm just running safari or other light apps, yet will randomly start heating up to about 68 C and fan will become very loud. It seems to be working fine in any other aspect, but it heats up and the fan goes on frequently and loudly.
