Global
WIN FKK32
The
Global WIN FKK32 is a product that was never officially released by Global
WIN Taiwan. Global WIN's US distributor created this product by adding
60x25mm YS Tech fans to the FKK50 heatsink.
Motherboard compatibility is the weak point of the FKK32. It does not fit the K7M, among others.
The fans
The
FKK32 uses the same fans as the VOS32, so all comments about fans made
in the VOS32 section also apply.
Installation
The
FKK32 uses the same clips as the FKK50, so all comments made about installation
in the FKK50 section also apply.
Conclusion
The
fact that the FKK32 uses powerful (and loud) 60x25mm YS Tech fans suggests
that it is a product targeted at overclockers. But for these customers,
heatsinks that provide both better performance and better motherboard compatibility
are available - e.g. the VOS32 from the same manufacturer. At the time
the FKK32 hit the market, it had a good price/performance ratio, but today,
I would recommend another heatsink for overclocking. If you're already
using an FKK32, no need to upgrade, though - the performance differences
aren't huge.
