I just assume that the larger Z8 chassis might handle the heat a little better? The Z6 works for my use, but the CPUs are definitely running on the hot side.

Maybe. With a bunk front fan on my z820, everything still runs relatively cool at maybe a max of ~55C (2 CPUs, 3 GPUs, 16 sticks of RAM) according to sensors util in RHEL.
