My CPU die temperature is consistently >70C
Hi,
my Macbook Pro (16", 2019) was repaired about a 7 months ago - I had the entire bottom replaced. Recently, my laptop has started shutting down when under strain (like playing a video game) - but today it shut down when using google maps. I checked the CPU die temperature and I saw it was 100C from simply starting up and opening chrome. If I leave it on idle for about 20 mins, it gets down to about 55-65C but never lower.
I have just restarted PRAM and the fans aren't blocked. Is there anything I can do to fix this from software? I really don't want to have to bring it in again.

Hey, thanks for the replies, here is the diagnostics when I am idling and literally just have background apps running. For context, I had chrome, terminal, mail, whatsapp and spotify running in the background:
And here it is when I opened photoshop to try and save this image to send to you guys:
It's now back down to ~70C after about 5-10 mins but when I check the die temperature it is consistently 70C even when I'm doing the most mundane tasks like simply opening Chrome. I know Chrome is notorious for using processing power, but this is a (relatively) new computer, especially considering the CPU etc has been replaced when I brought it in for repair last time. Here is the command line die temperature - 90C is when I opened photoshop:
Is this normal? This computer (2019 16") has always seemed to have issues cooling down for me, but 90C when doing simply tasks seems excessive? Then when I try to do something more complicated (like play a game) - its either throttled to be unplayable, or not throttled and my computer shuts down from the heat.
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Let's get a better view of things here. Install this great app TG Pro take a snapshot of the applications main window making sure you get all of the sensors within the shot or take two after sliding down the slide to get the ones at the bottom. Then post it here for us to see Agregar imágenes a una pregunta existente do this when its at the hottest time point and take note of the most active processes using Activity Monitor posting that image as well.
Also lets get an idea how your battery is doing as well using this gem of an app! CoconutBattery take a snapshot of the apps main window and post it here for us to see as well

hey, I updated the question with the screenshots. It seems quite hot to me but I'm not sure if this is expected on this model. As mentioned, I'm not doing anything crazy complicated in these photos.
