I've had multiple X520-DAs in desktop cases for years without doing anything special for cooling. Hell, one of them was in a fully watercooled system that had very little in-case airflow.

The -DA might have been critical in them doing so well ;-) -TA2 might have heated somewhat mightily (only recently lower thermal power twisted-pair gear started showing up)
