This was attempted:

http://openwall.info/wiki/internal/xeon_phi#An-attempt-at-cooling-it

but it turned out not to matter yet, because Xeon Phi simply doesn't
work in this motherboard:

For now, our new dev box has been setup with GPUs, but without Xeon Phi.
I am running some Bitcoin mining as a stress-test on its 3 GPUs at the
moment.  7990's first GPU got to 93C at first, but then I forced 7990's
fans speed to 100% (somehow it didn't go above 74% on its own) and the
temperatures dropped to under 90C.
