Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) with 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 and 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7.
Very recently have started facing problem that the fan does not stop at all. The first app I open on my MacBook Pro kicks the fan on. This is impacting the machines performance. Will really appreciate help from anyone who knows what can be done to address this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vihang

If your mac is on the fans are on, they idle ~2000RPM and can ramp up to ~6000rpm under a load.
Try resetting the SMC https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
Keep your Mac notebook within acceptable operating temperatures
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201640
Common issues—Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/Anti-Virus/VPN
If no resolve, to trouble shoot further you can:
—Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.
Login and test. Reboot as normal. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.
This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/set-up-other-users-on-your-mac-mtusr001/mac
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.

Thanks Leroy,
Tried all of the above but still no joy. Called Apple support as well and tried the same with them too.
Have now booked an appointment with the service team.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Did some more research and installed TP Pro as well. Found that remindd was the process that eating my CPU and pushing the temperatures of all the cores to about 90 degrees celsius. On searching some other forums, found this article https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/391974/remindd-sometimes-spikes-over-100-200-cpu-usage .
Looks like syncing the reminders was causing the problem. Stoping the reminders from syncing seems to have stopped the issue for now.
Thanks for the help
