The FLK-32 and FLK-38 use the same heatsink but different fans, again some excellent performance from Globalwin. Even with only one fan this unit is right behind the P3125 and VOS32.

If you are looking for a low cost heatsink, this is the one to get. Very compact but still pretty efficient. It also features the best retention mechanism I've seen so far.

2x 50mm YS Tech : 23.6

This unit performs very well for its size and price. It also looks just plain cool with its incorporated fan guard. Unfortunately this fan guard makes it impossible to upgrade the fans with bigger ones.

Name/code : Vantec K7D-5032
Manufacturer : Vantec
Format : SECC
Retail fan(s) : 2x 50x20mm Top Motor

Score
2x 50x20mm Top Motor : 27.8

The Vantec K7D-5032 also offers excellent performance for its price, it can be found for about 20$. But again, there is not much upgrade possibilities. This unit's default fans are the biggest of their class, the 50x20mm Top Motor that are very powerful for their size but are slightly noisy.
