The fans on my '''MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Mid 2012 (macOS Catalina)''' often run at max 5800rpm without any high CPU usage. The CPU Core temperature are high at 90°C but I don’t know what is causing that…
Sometimes my CPU does peak at around 120% when watching youtube on google chrome, which also causes my fans to run at max. People suggest to use Safari instead, which I would like to avoid if possible since I have everything synched on chrome (Work, School, Personal). Looks like Safari only fixes the youtube/high CPU % problem?
Here is a screenshot of my activity and Mac Fan Control[br]

I can’t seem to find the source or a solution for this problem. Not sure if it’s a general fan problem since it’s older macbook.
Notes I saw on other threads:
* no, I have not spilled anything on my macbook
* my room temperature isn’t high either
* I downloaded the chrome extension h264ify to avoid the youtube VP8/VP9 problem

@danj here is the screenshot showing my current TG Pro and activity window. I just have a youtube video and twitter open in the background (to get the same effect)
