Yes. For example if you have high vram/mosfet temps, which tends to be a problem with aios, and insufficient airflow over the upper part of the mobo, it can create big issues. This explains in a few words: http://www.overclock.net/t/907743/mosfet-and-vrm-temperatures
It's why complete liquid cooling systems have additional plates around the cpu, why most higher end mobos have those weird shaped cooling elements in the upper left corner of the mobo, and why video cards have to be cooled in a similar manner that encompases not just the chip but also vram etc.
