Another way to look at it...make it fail now--within the warranty
period--if it _is_ going to fail! (You do have backups, right?) But
as Tim Haigh alluded, Apple squeezed a lot of hardware in a small box
and did some good work to mitigate and control temps. If you run it
hard and at high temps all the time, it may lead to a shorter life
span for the drives.

The MLB in your mac has sensors that will automatically shutdown

sandwiched between an Apple Airport base station and an ASDL modem,
I never turned it off in 3 years. never had an issue. it did all my
compiling etc.
