Can anyone explain why my mid 2012 MBA heats up really bad when it's idling?
When I don't use it for about 5 min the temperature goes up north of 80°C and the fan start to spin at its limit while the CPU load is as low as 5%. It cools down when I'm back on it though.
I formatted the SSD several times already (I just do once in a while for a big OS update) but it didn't solve the problem so I'm starting to think that it's hardware related.
