I assume though that this doesn't help with the issue of exchanging the air inside the chassis. For that you still would need fans, else these new component coolers would just suck back in the hot air they expelled.

Maybe they need to install multiple coolers in a sequence to the entry of the exhaust and intake? So its like you have a guided air flow with these coolers as boosters to push air in 4 possible directions to the exhaust port.

Manufacturers will probably have to make sure the chassis of the gadget is air tight to increase efficiency.
