No, there are no Noctua 50mm fans.
People change to Gelid Silent 5 for the active Heatsinks.

Anyone have ideas for improving the cooling/noise situation in a 1U chassis (CSE-505-203B)? I have the air shroud installed. Noctuas don't cool enough to keep it from throttling under moderate load, and the stock fans are screamers.
Huh. I usually see FAN-0065L4 (13k RPM) in these chassis and swap them with FAN-0100L4 (8.5k RPM) when noise is an issue.
Used to use those Arctic 4028 6k rpm for CSE-505-203B with 4 core X10SDV and Arctic 4028 15k rpm for 8 core X10SDV.
I use them in general if any 4028 fan needs a noise reduced replacement. Reliable, quiet and affordable. No need for overpriced for what delivering Noctuas.

People seem to use the 60mm ones instead.No, there are no Noctua 50mm fans.

Not for the active heatsink for 1U case. Simply not fitting.
The Noctua 60mm fits the passive heatsink (was discussed several times in this thread) for 2U.
Made both variants for myself, you can see the difference at those pictures:

Here is an alternative cooling approach for anyone without a height restriction. Ignore the budget Silverstone fan, only being used for a test fit. Will likely use a NF-A12x15 instead. Obviously limits the length of the PCIe card that can be used.

I don't have one of these systems, but I have experimented with adding larger fans to low profile heatsinks, and blowing air down on top tends not to be the most effective, what you want is a fan duct that forces air down most of the length of the fins, plus a fan with decent static pressure.
If anyone has a 3D printer and some basic measuring tools I could probably whip up a duct model to try out.

Actually, the service could found online(at China), fee about $20,and cost about 1 week .
I've just encountered this after upgrading a C2750 based board to the D-1521 based board. I am somewhat limited by having it in a 1U case, I had 2x 40mm Noctuas on the rear of the case which was more than adequate for the C2750 but not even close for the D-1521, it overheats and shuts down even with moderate loads.
I've managed an interim solution with 3x 40mm screamer fans on the rear of the case, this keeps it under 70 degrees at full loads but it is crazy noisy. Thankfully the SuperMicro fan controller does a good job of throttling these down when at idle, but still noiser than I would like.
I plan to 3D print an air-guide/fan-mount to mount the 2x 40mm Noctua fans directly behind the motherboard, sucking air over the CPU cooler directly, but I'm not convinced even this will be enough. So I might be stuck with the screamers.

There are 40mm fans between the Noctua and the screamers, for example Arctic makes a 28mm deep fan that only spins up to 6k RPM, but if you're willing to design and print something you may want to look at a blower instead. The Dell 03WY43 blower (from an all in one machine of some kind) can be had for under $4, and runs pretty quietly even at full speed, and has a standard 4 pin wire. The only tricky part is it has intakes on both sides and gets much louder and less effective if you cover one intake, but it's narrow enough to work in a 1U still if you get it mounted right.
Yeah thats a fair point. I am only going this route as I already have the Noctua fans and 3D printing something only takes a bit of my time. If that doesn't work I'll have a look at the blowers.
