Big Sur 11.2 Update - System Hot; Fans Running

Auto update ran last night on my MacPro (late 2013). Anyone else experiencing issues with the fans?


I closed all the apps, shut down the system for 15 minutes & restarted. In less than 5 minutes, the fans began running without any apps open.


Is this a temporary issue related to the software update?

Mac Pro, macOS 11.1

it would not be unusual to try either or both:
