The FKP32 is the successor
of the famous FDP32 and FEP32. It is smaller than these two, but because of
its finer fins, it will perform just as well as the FDP32. Thanks to its "narrow
base", the motherboard compatibility is very good (which was a major problem
with FDP32).
The fan
The fans are the same as the ones bundled with the Alpha PAL6035/YS Tech combo, so all comments (good performance, but very loud) made there also apply to this cooler.
The FKP32 comes with a standard
clip that allows easy and fast installation and uninstallation. Global WIN includes
a small blister pack of thermal compound.
But even though it is not the top
performer in this comparison, the FKP32 still provides an excellent price/performance
ratio. It is much cheaper than the Alphas, and it is more compact. So the FKP32
is definitely a good choice for budget-conscious overclockers. As with all coolers
equiped with the 26CFM YS Tech fans, it is extremely loud.
