Maximum 1U CPU Speed?

Just wondering, has anybody here been able to pull off running a dual AMD MP 2600+ 1U server? I have a couple of them running fine at my office, however another one we had at a colocation center was overheating and freezing up. According to the "techs", ours was the only server experiencing these problems.

So does anybody here use a dual 2600+ server in a 1U chassis without overheating? Would there be any benefit to using 2600 Mhz Xeons instead...which yield roughly the same performance? I would like to colocate this machine soon, so I am considering getting a 2U chassis and better CPU coolers, or switching over to Xeons. Any insights will be appreciated.
