My first exposure to heat as a resource was the aptly named Heat: Pedal to the Metal. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/366013/heat-pedal-to-the-metal

The first play you avoid taking heat because it clogs up your hand. With more plays, it becomes clear that heat is meant to be spent. Learning to manage a resource that's helpful in the short term but a burden sometime in the future makes the game a lot of fun to play.

Curiously enough, yesterday I was inspired to actually play the Battletech videogame I bought six years ago! After ten minutes in the tutorial my PC sounded like it was about to lift off. Heat management - not just for mechs.
