Mac running hot. All 8 Gb ram used often
Seems like often when I have a few windows open in Safari or Chrome all of my ram is being taken up and a lot of it by the kernel_task.
Here is a picture of what is going on during a quieter time. Please help if you see anything odd. I can also produce the heating problem and do another EtreCheck if that would help.
