Global
WIN FKK50
The
Global WIN FKK50 has been available for a longer time than the VOS32, and
it is also less expensive.
The FKK50 does not fit the ASUS K7M rev 1.04. It fits most other Athlon boards, and normally doesn't block a DIMM slot.
The fans
The
FKK50 comes with two 50x15mm Delta ball bearing fans. These spin at more
than 6000rpm; the noise is bearable.
Installation
Installation
is very easy and fast: Simply place the heatsink on the Athlon and push
it down, it'll snap in easily. The FKK50's clips don't press the heatsink
as firmly to the CPU as the VOS32's clips, but still firmly enough to allow
good heat transfer.
Conclusion
If
you haven't got an ASUS K7M, and you want above-average cooling performance
without spending big, then the FKK50 might be a good choice. It will be
sufficient for some moderate overclocking, but hardcore overclockers should
choose one of the bigger heatsinks.
