The whole engine is super hot after driving and parking in the garage, I've taken to leaving the garage door open and yes high temps definately affect the life span of the DIC, in most instances electrical and electronic devices prefer cooler and stable temps. That is why transformer rooms are ventilated if not cooled as high temps can cause premature breakdown of insulation around the windings - which happens in the secondary coils of the DIC and you get internal shorts.
I've never understood why the engine cooling fans don't run more after shutdown , might help with the DIC and battery lifespan.
