I went through the documentation, and the board uses a standard bolt pattern. I've made comments to the contrary based on similar products, so I stand corrected. I'm not sure if the x62 can be used with it, though. The RAM is terribly close to the CPUs, and the CPUs are very close together. It's safer to stick with a standard server cooler for this type of board, generally. You'd also have a great deal of difficulty finding a case that supports two 280mm radiators as well as the SSI-EEB board.
Compatibility between server products is difficult enough to ensure without throwing consumer parts into the mix.

Found one: PH-ES614LTG_BK
if anything, I can try the coolers I already have just to see if it works or not.

The issue isn't whether or not they'll work, it's what happens if something goes wrong. Specifically, how much would a leak cost you to repair? What about a failed pump?
Neither issue is unrealistic, and both have significant financial implications.

That is the main reason I never mess with custom loops. I might do it if I had spare hardware laying around, but I don't. I only build something whenever I need it and I have always gone with CLCs. They haven't burst on me yet 
I think I will hold off on it and stick to air cooling for now. There are many ways a CLC could fail...

The key is to look for single points of failure. AIO coolers have two: the pump and radiator.
Air coolers have one in a normal case: the single fan. In a server chassis, they have none. If the fan fails in a server case, the chassis fans provide sufficient airflow to prevent damage. This is one reason servers tend to be loud.
