Hi there,
I have landed on this page as I too am experiencing similar issues, I have opened the mac and checked for dirt and dust and it is spotless, However I have overheating issues, I have Intel Power Gadget installed and on start up the CPU temps on my MBPR 2013 A1502 has a temp of between 65-75 degrees. I have re-applied new thermal compound and I have checked the fan and heatsink blades for gunk, yet to no avail I remain with these issues. Namely the machine cutting off at various times. if I open two processes, Say SAFARI and any other APP, (If the Mac even gets this far before panicking and going off) And noted temps are 80 degrees plus. I have installed Macs fan control in order to compensate for the startup temps and to be honest I am able to use the machine for longer periods using this method, however I do not feel this is a viable long term solution. The idea of having to change the FAN RPM not only decreases my battery level faster but it is like I am babysitting a computer. Please any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Same here on my early 2015 Macbook Pro 13” Retina. Cleaned everything, new thermal paste according to recommendations, fresh install of Catalina, reset SMC - should be runnung at 100%. Instead, it’s running at 100C. 2-3 Chrome tabs cause the top of the keyboard to be hot enough to burn your finger. The fan doesn’t kick in until the CPU temp reaches over 90C. Macs Fan Control only helps a little bit. It feels like it got worse after all these procedures.
