The CPU could operate at Planck temperature but if it only uses 5W of power to do it then you wouldn't even need a CPU fan.
Some physicists posit that the highest temperature is Planck Temperature. They claim it is the highest possible temperature that matter could theoretically exist at. It is approximately 1.41679 x 10^32 Kelvin. Thats roughly 100 million million million million million degrees. For comparison, the center of our sun bubbles along at chilly 15 million degrees °C.
I had to google that.
The amount of power consumed is the ONLY thing that makes ANY difference on how hot your case gets. The CPU could operate at Planck temperature but if it only uses 5W of power to do it then you wouldn't even need a CPU fan.
Ummm.. no.
Airflow makes a huge difference.
I can take a computer that uses a lot of power, seal it off, and it will bake itself really quickly. Evan a low power computer will cook itself under full load or extended regular use if there is no airflow to move the heat out of the case.
Put the proper amount of airflow though the case and it will run at a max of 1-2C above ambient.
All other things equal, [strike=]T[/s]the amount of power consumed is the ONLY thing that makes ANY difference on how [strike=]hot your case gets[/s] how much heat is dissipated into your case.

Not really, the heat transfer is the big issue. My delid CPU runs really, really cool. Before delid my liquid temps were much lower than after the delid, since the heat is actually getting where it needs to go now.
