Supermicro SNK-P0048AP4 2U Active CPU Heat Sink
Replace SM fan with:
Noctua NF-A6x25 PWM
Just don't use the noise adapters and you should e fine.

Think that would work at 90w or 105w TDP ?
Or should I ask any advise for say on say e5-2640v4 or 2650v4 ?
@Evan - i don't think I would use the Noctua above 85W TDP CPUs.
They aren't really meant for high air flow applications.
I'd be looking at their purpose built Heatsink/Fan combos (which usually mean 3U+).
I have no benchmark or TDP info to link to though
Noctua doesn't have TDP guidelines for just fans - or at least this one.
Having said that, I run them on my E5-2620v3's (85W TDP), but my CPU load
stays fairly low unless i run benchmark programs.
The power supply (Supermicro low flow exhaust) and the Noctua are the only fans in my "2u" chassis.
No issues and I have not seen my RPMs above 2000 during the hottest months (SEUS heat/humidity).
Ambient temps, other components inside the case/chassis all play a part of course.

@Netwerkz101 thanks for the feedback, the old issue is I dint remember many Low noise specialist coolers for narrow ilm ... just looked and I see a few options now.
Something like this looks great for Low noise if space is available.
NH-U12DX i4

Exactly!
That's an excellent quiet cooler you linked to.... but the
OP is working with a 2U chassis which is where the "hard to find" quiet + smaller size comes into play.

And looks like that nice big one won't quiet fit in the case I had in mind, but some 90mm fan versions but the issue is overhanging ram on narrow ilm, anyway let's see, still trying to convince myself I want to build an e5 system to supplement my Xeon-d's when I need something with a bit more power.
At least more options than I remember when I looked ages ago.

I was looking for similar for an E3 v6 and ended up going with an noctua nh l9x65. Could not find anything that was quiet enough for Dual E5s. Ended up using nh-u12dx-i4 and a 4u chassis.
