De mannen van TheTechZone hebben een review gebakken van de GlobalWin WBK38. Deze Socket A / Socket 370 cooler heeft een rotatiesnelheid van 6800 RPM en een airflow van 37,61 CFM. De Duron 750 van de reviewer heeft het loodje gelegd, omdat de clips van de cooler niet echt geweldig zijn. Je hebt namelijk een schroevendraaier nodig om het clipje in te drukken. Hieronder een gedeelte uit de conclusie:
The real test of a heat sink is does it work or not? I did all of my testing using Windows 2000 Professional because of it's CPU idle feature Vs. the Win9x/ME versions. For a CPU stress program I used distributed.net's rc5-64 client because it not only stresses the CPU but I also didn't want to give up any key cracking time when I didn't have too. The room temp was a constant 26° C while measurements were taken. I used the on board CPU monitor of the KT7a to measure temps. This consist of a thermal sensor in the middle of the socket that rests on the bottom of the installed CPU. At idle the sensor reported a very stable 32° C. This is impressive as I commonly hear of lesser heat sinks running at 40° C and higher at idle with a similar CPU. The temp stabilized at 45° C after running the RC5 client for around 10 minutes. Most people are not going to use a computer in such a way that will keep high levels of stress on the CPU. When I paused the RC5 client the temp started dropping fast and was within 1° C of idle within 1 minute. The WBK38 (aka Wicked Badass Kooler 38 in the Stampie household) really shined through in the stress test. I would have no problem with recommending this heat sink to anyone that can stand the sound of the fan.Pros:
- Great kickass heat sink
- Best 60mm Fan available
- Very clean design
Cons:
- Clip design makes it hard to install
- Fan is loud compared to others
