You need to give it some thought. You said the size of the cooler does not matter. It does. Your argument seems to imply there is no air flow through the case. That is false. You also seem to imply a large hot chunk of metal with no fan will not dump heat into the case. It will. If it doesn't, the GPU will burn up or shut down.
Regardless, the size of the cooler - which is designed to suck heat away from the processor and radiate it out away from the processor - with or without a fan - does indeed matter. The surface area of the cooler, the more heat is radiated away or simply rises away.
