My MPB is too hot!

Hi there.

I think that my MBP 13" is getting too hot too quick!

It's got no optical unti anymore and in place of that I moved the HDD there and installed an SDD in place of the former HDD. Now, I noticed the MPB getting really hot like since almost half a year - and NOW it's really annoying!!!

I mean, I can't have my hands on the MPB too long, it really is uncomfortable!

Anybody has any clues, what to check and what to do? Some software to display temperature?

Thanks for your help

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

Your temperatures are normal, the maximum temp is 102C (shutdown point) and you're nowhere near that.

You worry too much about things you are not really understanding.

Well, I do worry about my hand palms getting burnt! That's what I do understand.

Also, I do understand that this "being hot" issue has started like a couple of months ago, it has never been like this before...

What else happened "a couple of months ago"

Did you change the RAM, update OS X, install new software? (It is hard to guess, help us out)

The only thing I can think of, is the upgrade to Yosemite.

My 16 GB of RAM I already had there like almost 2 years ago...

Look for software that is not compatible with 10.10, especially kexts.

Thanks for the suggestions - seems to be a hard task. Is there any tool to help me identifying incompatible software?
