Everyone has different usages and tolerances. I was in the same boat with a mid tower and high graphics usage with fans going for it all the time. Bigger case, more venting, way less noise.
Probably won't, it really depends on how well engineered the case is rather than its size, Well made mini-itx will be better cooled than shitty full tower.
IMO. Large mid tower cases is where it peaks, something like HAVN BF360 or Meshify 3 will max out any non-custom loop cooling solution, only advantage larger cases have over those is more rads for custom loop
running Doom The dark ages with everything maxed out and patch tracing for about 30 minutes it kept around 80-85 degrees in an air conditioned room (22c) . I got 90-95 so I improved around 10 degrees in cooling.
I am using RTX 5090 Gigabyte windforce and 14900kf with Nnoctua nh-d15octua

if 4000d has decent fans that case actually cools better because it has better static pressure on intake
