You have to decide what is more important. The color of the fans or whether you are serious about cooling. I have a NH-D14. I don't like the color of the fans but they do a great job of cooling my 8320 at an acceptable noise level.

The color will never grow on you.
You have to wonder what the folks at Noctua are thinking about. I am sure they know about all the bad feedback from enthusiasts and the downright ugly fan colors. Enthusiast can be very fickle about things. I bet a lot of people have bought competitors coolers because of this. I thought about going with Phanteks but got a really good price on my NH-D14.

That's probably why they did this although it's better , I'm not sure how much http://noctua.at/main.php?show=news_list&news_id=93&lng=en

Gotta agree Johan. Still is pretty unappealing. Even their web site is made up of those earth tones. Personally I like the way the Corsair fans look.

Ya the Corsairs are "pretty" but you can get much more "functionality" at a lower price. I guess a lot of it depends on whether "looks" are important or not. Or if you just want function with some quiet. I bought two of these for one case when I could have spent much less but IMO they were worth it since they satisfied my needs at the time. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835242015

They appear quite close in price but the aerocool is much quieter according ti kitguru http://www.kitguru.net/components/c...ds-dead-silence-fan-120mm-and-140mm-review/4/

That depends are you using them on a cooler or for the case and what is your case? If you go up to forum actions then on the next page select edit signature. you can put up a sig at the bottom of your posts containing all your PC parts and specs. It makes things much easier for us when we know exactly what you have.

Personally, i wouldn't want fans that are limited to 1200RPM and 55CFM. Especially for case fans. As I said previously it depends on what your goal is. My goal is max performance with the ability to turn everything down to a tolerable noiselevel for watching TV etc..
