Google Chrome, including Chrome Helper just uses a lot of memory. That is how Google works.

Periodically closing Chrome and relaunching helps.

I think right now Google is using more than 5 GB of memory.

Using memory will not cause fan speed to increase. That is caused by CPU and graphics activity.

What is using CPU? Make sure that in View All Processes is checked.
