It will work to cool it, but you would almost have to test to see which way is better.
One thing I can throw out there is that if you take apart the case portion of it, and you can see anything exposed that is having air driven over it to cool it, you can buy some very cheap and low profile copper heat sinks that stick on with thermal tape, the passive cooling combined with ANY airflow should be better than what you are getting at the moment.
