How much of that can be attributable to heat?

I asked that because of this statement.  Faster performance many times
involves processes that use more power which means it gives off more
heat.  The difference between one fan and two in a case could be the
thing that makes the chipsets on the mobo not die.

All hypothetical though, no hard data on my end.
