So i've bought few supermicro motherboards that has 2x narrow ilm socket's, and since i don't want to use those loud 2u cooler's i was looking to buy bracket like this:EBAY LINK, but it seems no1 from europe (or atleast i couldn't find) sell's brackets like those so perhaps someone know's a place to buy em ? as waiting over 30 days for brackets to arrive is too long for me. Thanks in advance

Noctua sells adapter sets for 2011 heatsinks, but I'm not sure if they can be used with other brands...

if your processors have only 85W TDP or so you can swap the FANs to low RPM ones.
Noctua coolers are silent becaus the RPMs are 2000 instead of 4000, but the cooling capability is lower then.
they brackets you mentioned are for AMD top blowers, are you sure that's enough for your usage ?

Well those are the most common narrow ilm cooler type i've faced :?
Noctua NH-U9DX i4
Noctua NH-D9DX i4 3U
Noctua NH-U12DX i4
Supermicro SNK-P0050AP4 (i have spare ILM brackets if you need)
Dynatron/ Inter-Tech R27 (for completeness)

I use a couple of Supermicro X9DRH boards in a 4U chassis, and since I wanted them to be as silent as possible, I am using a pair of Noctua NH-U12DX i4. These coolers are a bit costly, but for about $15 each more than the Supermicro SNK-P0050AP4 , they support 2 fand on each cooler, and they come with an excellent (silent) Noctua fan. The Noctua coolers (part from the price) are excellently constructed, and come with Narrow and Square ILM adapters.
