anyone knows any server thats capable of it? I know ASUS offer fan control but their board is quite limited in dimms slots, with 32GB dimms or smaller can't really go beyond 384GB in RAM size, or even use optane dimm for that matter without losing more ram slots.

also how is NH-U14S DX-3647 compare to most stock heatsinks that is offered by say Dell or HPE?

Not sure that the NH-U14s coolers will fit.
Noctua's site shows a cpu cooler height of 165mm and the height of 4U's or rack space is 178mm. I think thats a good bit too tall to fit in a 4u case. I think that recommendations are usually for a max 155mm of CPU cooler height.
Personallyl, I've used the Noctua U9 series of coolers with good effect.
