If you intend to put a fan above the heat sink, you also intend to leave the top off? The blowers move air over the entire motherboard as well as the CPUs. RAM, voltage regulators, add-in cards all get airflow from those when the top is on. With the top off, it might be OK or it might not. Most servers have a management port (HP ILO, IPMI, etc) that let you monitor the temps. Most desktop temp monitor programs don't work well with server hardware.
