NeoSeeker brengt ons een review van de GlobalWin FLK50 Slot-A Athlon cooler. De FLK50 is speciaal ontworpen voor de Asus K7M maar schijnt ook gewoon te passen op andere Slot-A borden. De performance van deze slechts $25 dollar kostende cooler bleek zeer goed te zijn, mits je niet boven de 800MHz komt tenminste:
What? Huh? How the..? I can hardly believe it! This little $25 cooler has outperformed every other cooler thus far! I’m still dazed – but how can this be? With only one fan, a lightweight heatsink, and just a regular/standard clamp design? What’s the magic ingredient?
I believe the potion that helped this cooler keep the K7 under 30 degrees all the way to 750 MHZ was the ultra lightweight heatsink in combination with the super speedy fan. There may have been a slight advantage coming from the sink design as well –having those odd gaps in the metal to get air down below! Let’s run over each score. First at 600 MHZ a very respectable and tied thus far for lowest score 25 degrees Celsius. Next at 700 MHZ –just a 1 degree Celsius increase. Then at 735 it went up yet another 1 degree Celsius, and finally at 750 MHZ it almost popped up to 30 degrees –but not quite, revealing a very nice 29-degree Celsius score.
