I don't get the point. You still need an exhaust fan for the case. Maybe in an open air setup I guess?

Depends mostly on the CPU "TDP" (even tho nowadays the TDP is not an actual power limit) and size of heatsink, check out Streacom passive cases for example.

But the essential part in a pc is the heatsink, before the cpu fan (or any fan).
