Edit 1: I dunno how to paste the image on the page so I guess you might need to click on it. Sorry.
I remember that thread. I remember relating to the heat issue, but I also remember being incredibly stubborn myself and just running things anyway, having a fan running constantly to deal with the heat even during summer. I ran miners all day and night in my bedroom for years; probably fucked up my hearing to a degree as a result. But I wouldn't trade it for anything else. Those nights writing configs and mining Bitcoin on CPUs and GPUs were some of my favourite times.
In fact, even as I type this I have GPUs running, and a fan on in the background.
