Bij The Techzone hebben ze een vergelijkende review gemaakt van twee FC-PGA-koelers: de Thermal Take Golden Orb en de nieuwe GlobalWin FOP32, opvolger van de FKP32. Na het testen bleek dat ze beiden even goed koelen tijdens zware CPU load, maar dat de FOP32 bij weinig belasting de CPU toch iets koeler weer te houden. Daarom wint de GlobalWin het nipt van de Thermal Take. De voor de vergelijking meegenomen Intel retail koeler kan het natuurlijk allemaal niet bijbenen:
As expected, the Intel stock heatsink performed terribly... Although, I'm sure the Arctic Silver took some of the edge of. But, it looks like we have a very close call between the two major players here! I was very impressed with both heatsinks even considering the little quirks each has. Again, the numbers don't lie... The FOP32 beat out the Golden Orb by a very narrow margin at idle but it was dead even under torture. If you replace the stock fan on the FOP32 with a Delta 38CFM fan it may even do a bit better.
Both heatsinks have features that would make one more suitable over the other in certain applications. For example, the Golden Orb would be better in situations where you need to use a slotket because the clearance is better between the heatsink and DIMM 1 in this instance. The FOP32 gives you the liberty of changing the fan if you'd like. Regardless, any doubt I may have had about either of these heatsinks is definitely dispelled now.
[...]Nonetheless, I found the FOP32 to edge out the "Golden Orb" slightly.
