Wow, that's bad. Modern computers should automatically step down CPU speed when their temperature is too high, and in extreme case maybe shut down completely, but never get permanent damage. I routinely let very long and CPU-intensive works run on my laptop, and it never got damaged, even if it has a rather fast CPU. Anyway, I have access to some decent server on which I can schedule long running works without problems (and which I don't expect to burn out!). I can do minimization or whatever database maintenance task is useful, especially if someone can prepare a script for me to run. If the script is expected to run for more than a few hours, I suggest to engineer it so that it can restart from an intermediate point if it is interrupted, as I cannot guarantee that nobody will try to restart the servers while the script is running.
