This is the first time I built a PC and I have learned a lot from this forum. It is now working as intended. A big thank to everyone!

Other information:
- I could not get the Noctua PWM fans to work with the Supermicro motherboard. Had to use 3-pin Noctua fans in the end but they were quiet enough.
- Due to the CPU socket orientation on the Supermicro board, the CPU cooler blows air towards the side of the case instead of the rear. Not an ideal scenario, but for now it seems to work fine. Stress testing all cores of the CPU reaches a temperature of 57 deg celsius.
