While I do wonder if a standard PC case with good airflow could work with this, the temperatures are going to be very much dependent on the case and cooling. As the article says:

Sapphire specifically designed the dual-slot graphics card for GPU compute systems so it relies on the system's active airflow to remain cool.

that would be the most powerfull passive GPU on the market.

i still have my pair of passive Radeon HD6850. beautifull beasts.
it's better to slap a quiet fan on them though, massive difference in temps, while still quiet.

Why worry about heat absorption when these growing hunks of metal reach 50 lbs and Tears the GPU away from the card, a loud bang hitting the bottom of the case and that midsize hole where your GPU used to be.
