That's not necessarily a reason to believe overheating isn't a problem.

Generally, the fans in the computer case form an airflow across things
that need it when the case is shut.  If the case is open, airflow takes
the easiest path, and hot items mightn't get enough of a breeze over
them for them to be adequately cooled.

You can get the same situation when airflow is blocked by obstacles in
the case (plug in cards, ribbon cables, etc.).

Though, this is usually only a problem with things that are on the
borderline of their heat tolerance.  Things with (most likely,
inadequate) passive heatsinks.
