Alpha P125 Supplied by:
2CoolTek

Once in awhile you come across a product that
is so mind blowing, you simply can't believe it. The Alpha P125 heatsink is such
a product. This heatsink rewrites the rules of what makes a kick ass heatsink.
It's performance is by far the best I have even seen in any heatsink.
The Alpha P125 was the heatsink that put
Alpha on the overclocking map. The P125 was originally made to work with Pentium
II and Celerons only. Alpha is working on a version for the Pentium III.
The Alpha P125 is big. No, make that HUGE!!!
The unit is so big it doesn't fit some motherboards or computer cases. Lucky for
me I had a big 24 inch In Winn case to put this in.
Alpha coolers comes unassembled and without
fans. This unit was shipped to me from
2CoolTek. 2CoolTek sells
their Alpha's with a couple of Global Win 60mm x 25mm fans. These are the same
fans used on Global Win's new VEK 12. They are rated to move 27.2 CFM of air,
much more powerful than the one that Alpha use. The Global Win fans are noisier
however.
The price of the Alpha P125 is $29.25 without
fans and $46.75 with Global Wins fans from
2CoolTek
