MBP heating issues are from the fact that the dedicated GPU doesn't get enough cooling, the frame is too small.

Add https://github.com/0xbb/gpu-switch - run the integrated gpu only - and you will never listen to a fan again, and prolong the life of your MPB.

It's discouraging to hear the 15" MBP GPU's still have heating/failure issues, I toasted a few 15" MBP GPU's in 2006-2009. Not sure what the point is to have a GPU in a laptop I don't use.
