I recently upgraded my Late 2012 15" MacBook Pro w/ Retina Display to Yosemite. After this, my computer has been running extremely hot. These temps are just from me typing this right now. Nothing running in the background. I have no clue what to do, and sending it in isn't really an option at this point. Even when I put it to sleep the fans are still running. The only way the fans will not run, is if I shut the computer down completely.

I’ve been running Yosemite since DP1 on one older MacBook, and since DP4 on my 2012 rMBP. No heat issues for me. No fans. #happycamper

I ended up figuring it out. Yosemite corrupted a syslogagent plist file and it was constantly crashing and launching again. Went in and deleted it and its been perfect since.

How did you track that down? My MBP runs warm on Yosemite. But it also ran warm on Mavericks as well.

Someone was having the exact same problems as me in the deep dark corners of the internet. I was desperate for a fix so I just tried it and it fixed it. (Surprise Surprise!)
