This thread took a turn for the absurd. Oil? Water? What a practical bunch of people. /s
They make resistors with adequate cooling... Almost as if they're rated for a certain number of watts of dissipation and you can buy them based on that. They are resistors after all. And if they overheat-- oh wait, they're heavy duty resistors, not ICs. Get a couple, put them in a metal project box, put it inline with the cable, and call it a day.
