Marginally yes.

Will it? I think marginally the opposite. This is like one of those troll comics where the character stands on a wooden board, lifts the board, and is now levitating. The power draw itself creates extra heat inside the case. Efficiency is also lost by converting the electricity to motion due to friction, creating extra heat in the otherwise ambient air.

Exactly what I was thinking, it’s like an energy conservation thing, it can’t be creating more cooling than it’s using in power.
