There was a supply shortage of fans during the launch of the LCD model. Valve solved this by shipping two types of fans until supply was restored. If you had one of the alternative fans, then your SD would have a pretty bad whine.

Though, Valve offered original replacement fans via. IFixIt soon after, so you could just buy the better fan and change it. I did.

They should’ve replaced them for free…
