A brief update.
I am dead in the water on the fan front.
Noctua:
Contacted Noctua Support on March 31st. Heard back from them on April 3rd, when they requested batch numbers from all the fans. I provided those batch numbers on the same day. Have heard nothing yet. It is unclear to me if Noctua support is even open during the pandemic, or if they are just down to limited staff, slowing things down.
Arctic:
So, as I mentioned above, as a backup in case I am not successful with Noctua I ordered a full complement of Arctic P12 (120mm) and P14 (140mm) fans. They are reported to still function per the original Intel PWM spec in the Aquacomputer forums. I need 7x 140mm fans and 16x 120mm fans. All 7x 140mm fans have arrived. One of the 120mm fans have arrived. The remaining 15 are coming in three 5 fan bulk packs which were ordered on March 31st, and still have not shipped...
The arrival estimate said April 3rd to April 16th when I ordered them, so I upgraded to two day shipping and assumed, since I did not get the warning that they were going to be delayed by more essential orders, that they would go out quickly and be here sooner than that, but here we are 8 days later and they still have not shipped.
I guess this project is just destined to never get done.
