What is the fan speed?

Can you hear/feel the fan running"

What is symptom of overheating? What temperature is reached?

Are ventilation openings clear and unobstructed?

Have you looked at the list of processes running on your Mac when you experience this issue ?

Use the Activity Monitor to see if there is a particular process that might be consuming too much CPU.
