Why not fix the overheating problem then? Because no such problem existed in the first place.

He wasn't necessarily worried about "overheating", he said it made his "computer run hot" and the fan noise bothered him. He had accrued at least several thousand BTC during his time as a miner... wouldn't that be enough to call it quits on something that really didn't have a lot of utility while he was alive and active?

Regardless, of course overheating was a problem, and it couldn't easily be solved by code changes.

My point on that statement is:
Hal said he reported bugs to Satoshi and Satoshi fixed them, why Hal never mentioned this problem to Satoshi? Instead, he is trying to fix this by himself,

HalFinney discovered this problem as early as January 2009, and you cite reports from others about "overheating" in May 2010.
