I have a Macbook Air that is just over 1 year old. The fans seem to always be on high and the strip of metal above the Function keys gets very hot. The computer doesn't shut down due to the over heating and is on a flat desk and dirt and grime free. I have tried the SMC reset several times, but this doesn't seem to work. I am connected to another larger screen and don't use a lot of apps or keep many programs running. Any Ideas?
I also have a 2019 MacBook Air and is connected to an external Display. I do, occasionally, notice the fan running and the MacBook's body can get warn. Everything cools down very fast soon after. Overall it runs relatively cool. I know you performed the task of resetting the SMC however I will list it again so that you may review and ensure that the task was performed accurately.

Hi Axel
Thank you for your tips. Unfortunately they don't appear to have worked. I will try the Recovery setting, but its telling me I need to free up some space. I will give it a go and report back.
Thanks again.
James
