again, no, better cooling stave off the thermal runway effect. you can think of it as generating less leakage per voltage unit, which is quite the opposite as accepting more leakage.
higher operating voltage allows for accepting more leakage.
and there's still no indication that cooling a specific chip design (because we're not talking about chips in general here) would prevent thermal issue within the chip, because you can only work on reducing the average surface temperature opposite to the pins - or, you can't just pick a single part of the argument and disprove it in isolation, because the whole thermal issue is not a premise, but ties in the whole claim of "we could just make this chip run with cooling at it'll beat down intels" - which they cannot, because you can't just cool away leakage currents, the chip has to be meant to be cooled and to be run with higher voltage at design phase.
