Only if you have negative air pressure in the case. Which he would not. Just maintain more intake fans than exhaust fans, and it's not a problem.

Every case is different. But with air cooled CPUs, airflow is incredibly important. With my recent upgrade, I prioritized this. Using the same case, I reduced my temps by ~20+ degrees, just using better quality fans and smarter air flow. While using a CPU with noticeably more power draw that's overclocked to 5.4.
