I have to reflect the OPs sentiments regarding heat and silent running.  Heat is an element of the game that an average player (like me!) won't even have a problem with UNTIL they mistakenly go into silent running during a dogfight..  If you start getting heat warnings at that point, it's difficult to move logically from the heat warnings to a "Check if you're in silent running mode" whether you know the hotkeys or not.  In my case, I understood that it had to do with the use of my ships systems, I had the presence of mind to stop firing and go to zero throttle, I even took power away from shields and moved through the ESC->Controls menu.  I even quickly bound the heat sink button and tried it.  But within 45 seconds i was dead.  It was not until about 3 minutes later that i found this post!  Heat killed me too!  "Educate your brain!"
