Performance

Again, to test the Global Win I used the same AMD Athlon 500 on the same SD11 rev 1.8. To test temperature I used a temperature probe, which sends readings to my motherboard monitor. While running on the default speed of 500MHz the processor (core) was able to stay at a consistent 55C. There were no Overclocking tests conducted, as Overclocking materials were unavailable to me.

53C was very good, especially considering that this unit only costs $21, less than half the price of the Alpha P7125.

Conclusion

This is a tough one. While the Alpha cooler obviously offers better performance, the FKK32 is not very far behind. The price of the Alpha P7125 is just over $46, and the FKK32 is a mere $21. While I think the extra $25 for the Alpha is worth it, seeing that the Alpha is more likely to take you further as far as Overclocking is concerned, $21 is a nice price for a cooler of this caliber. It's up to you.

Special thanks to coldcpu.com for supplying us with these coolers, don't forget to give them a visit and say hi for us.
