If blocked fan vents and SMC resets don't fix it, it might be software related.

If you go to Console utility you might find the culprit. You might have to disable "system integrity protection" in El Cap. Mine was a location tracker utility that was constantly failing and respawning and overtaxing the system. Look for "launch.apple.xpc.launchd" and what comes after it.
