According to the Noctua website, the fans use 1.56W per 12V, which is much lower than the typical fan header's 1A capacity. However, using two high-power fans on the same header through a Y splitter that exceeds the header's 1A rating can cause power problems. The fans operating on the 12 rail will draw more current as they spin, potentially triggering the motherboard's power delivery issues or causing a Q code error. This situation is avoided if you're using Noctua's included fans (1.56W each).
If you think about the fans, remove one and check it once more. Also, tightening the back plate and cooler excessively might lead to various issues. Think about putting it back in.
I don't think it's the fans since I tested using just one fan while hitting RAM up to 2400mhz and it still won't boot. I'm unsure if the problem is with the fans or just the motherboard being unreliable. Is there a way to boost power so the Noctua and overclocked RAM can work? My current RAM voltage is 1.5 at 2200mhz, and I tried raising it to 1.65 for a 2400mhz overclock but it didn't help.
the mobo should work well enough to run two noctua fans since they don't require much power. increasing the frequency to 2400mhz for DDR3 is quite an upgrade; you may need to adjust the voltage to 1.7V or tweak the memory timing settings.
