There is a new heat sink in town attempting a coup. Can the new comer over throw the dominance of the D14 and Silver Arrow?

Since it is sooooo close in performance I would buy the phantek over the NH-d14 everytime...the noctua are just fugly. I prefer performance over looks but would sacrifice a few C's for an overall component if I was going for a theme look. I womder how the NH-d14 would perform with the Phantek fans...hmmmm, strokes beard.
They did screw up not making a black one and the white one, white on the top also. But with the top of the white one being silver if you do a blue water cooling system and or blue LED's that silver reflecting it might be an eye catcher.
Think about it...a white case, a blue Gigabyte Mobo, white fans, white cooler, blue water cooling fluid loops and blue LED's. Turn out the lights and turn on the LED's and let the party begin. You would have a blue and white theme in light and dark.

Well then do you really prefer perf. to looks?
I would seriously consider the Phanteks myself if I was in the market at the moment, but the price is pretty high, and I actually don't mind the look of the D14. Performance makes things sexy to me anyway

yes...I do, as I stated in my reply
I picked up a new fan for my CPU heatsink today. Thought I'd try out the new Phanteks one, since it got quite good reviews along with PH-TC14PE heatsink it usually comes bundled with, and the white/blue theme is just what I'm looking for. Gotta say that I was disappointed when I fired it up though. It's making this annoying noise, I uploaded a vid to YouTube so that I don't have to describe it.
Do you think this is normal, or did I get a bad apple? It does this at all speeds and positions except when it's completely horizontal (blowing upwards).
Update 2011-12-08: Phanteks contacted me and sent a new fan. The new one is working much better.

Sounds like a dud to me. Are you powering it straight from the psu? Sometimes fan controllers can introduce buzzing and the likes.
It was running directly from the motherboard header. After reading your post I hooked it up to the PSU, same result unfortunately.
I've written an email to the retailer asking if they can replace it for me. I don't think it's supposed to make this sound, let's just hope that they agree.
