I'm pretty sure you're wrong there, especuially if your case is already
somewhat open. The biggest barrier (measured in K/W) is usually the
surface between solid and air and that's just where the sink comes in.
In a closed case you have two additional such surfaces between the case
and internal and external air. But then too the heat sink means a lot,
as the surrounding air inside is already hot and you need to get as much
out of the small difference as you can.
