Problem with temperature on this mac:
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011)MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011)
2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
Now I have temperature about 80-100C in 90% of time (without load temperature about 65-70C). I think maybe problem with thermal paste and heatsink.
Before I install Yosemite 10.10 temperature was aroud 60-70 (except youtube videos or some heavy work like video editing and similar).
I tried to disable coherence, reset smc and nvram but without any changes, temperature high even on simple tasks like browsing or work in simpe apps like text editor.
How can I try to prevent overheating or it's a normal temperature for this types of cpu/macbooks?
Cooler works, system show from 4000 to 6200 rpm (that is noisy).
PS. After some observation found that WindowServer with enabled transparency load up to 60% of cpu (and sometimes more), without transparency about 12-40%. So I guess maybe WindowsServer main problem.

I do not know if iStat works well with Yosemite and delivering correct results.
Your CPU temp is on very high end indicating full load of CPU = continuous load of >100%.
Your SMC reset might not have worked so try it again.
Intel made a simple tool that correctly reports CPU load.
A 2011 model should not have a Thermal paste issue, those usually occur after 5 Years (if), and when the conductive paste dries up. But if you consider doing something about it, it is in the difficult category to do it your self.
