I'm looking to build a server in a 2U chassis with Gigabyte MZ72-HB0. I'm considering getting the Dynatron A38, but given the orientation of the CPU sockets, the fans would be inline with each other. Is this a problem?

I could point the fans in opposite directions, so either one fan blows forward and one blows back, or both blow into the gap. I could also point them the same direction and insert some plastic guide to separate the airflows, but this would add more resistance to airflow.

Other options are a blower but I couldn't find one that can handle 280W TDP. I could also do liquid cooling on one of them but I'm not sure where to put the radiator

Am I overthinking this? Is there some other option?
