My E2160's have the stock cooler and the heatsink isn't even warm.
Of course they're not crammed together in a rack...
Reminds me...
I visited one data centre years ago and wasn't too impressed with their cooling system. Next to the a/c unit it was nice and cool, even chilly, but wander down to the other side of the room (where my server was) and you'd be sweating. The few times that I pulled the server out for maint the internal frame was quite warm even a few minutes after it was powered off.
The funny thing was that the room adjoined a communications carrier interconnect room which was super chilly all through. I guess they didn't care about their small clients...
