The problem is you're using an elec&eltec powersupply in combination with this fan. This power supply needs a fan with a minimum consumption of around 0.7+ watts and the noctua has a lower power consumption...therefore the powersupply switches into protection mode.

You have to solder a 270 ohms/2 watts resistor in paralell to the fan connector and it will work! I've done this with a blacknoise M8-S1 with 0.36 watts and it's working excellent. Your noctua will work too if you're going to solder the resistor.
