I have two rx2620s.  One is older and shipped with two
1.6MHz 3MB cache Madison CPUs.  The new one shipped with
two 1.4MHz 12MB cache Montecito CPUs.  Neither have the
Office Friendly kit installed, but the newer one is much
quieter than the older one.  The part numbers for some of
the fans are different but none of them are the same as
the ones in the Office Friendly kit.  I've been watching
eBay for the fans with the same part number as the quieter
rx2620 but so far none of them have appeared.

I would buy an Office Friendly kit for one of them if I
didn't need to pay to have it installed.  I haven't been
able to verify that it can be installed by the end user.
