If sun was made up of ice cubes, it'll be as hot as it is now!

The reason sun has high temperature is its huge mass and the huge exerted gravity! Even if it was made up of ice cubes and had the same mass, it would have exerted same amount of gravity on the electrons around and cause the pressure to increase and pressure increment will cause the temperature of electron gas to increase just same as any ideal gas.
However, in such case, because of absence of hydrogen fuel, the sun will cool down a lot faster and won't remain burning for billions of years as it is doing today!
