It's hard to imagine any cooler bigger than the Alpha P3125 but the Global Win VOS32 managed to pull it off. What's really great about it is their engineers did their homework on this cooler. Not only is the VOS32 huge, but it will work with Pentium 2, Pentium 3 and Athlon CPUs. All the needed mounts and connectors are included.

Global also designed the VOS32 with the K7M motherboard in mind. Unlike the FKK32, the VOS32 fan won't block off the power supply connector of the K7M motherboard. This is because the fans are mounted higher up, clearing the power connector. However, you will have to shave off about 2 mm from six fins to clear the power connector. The other way to clear the connector would be to mount the Athlon without the heat transfer plate. You'll save 2mm there.

The VOS32 is a really wide heatsink. The unit is just as wide as the AMK 2X60. You can see in the above pic the pins installed for Pentium 3 mounting. The very top pic shows the unit ready for Pentium 2 or Athlon installation. You can also see the slots cut into the bottom of the heatsink for Pentium 3 L2 cache cooling. A very smart design indeed.

In this pic you can get an idea of just how big the VOS32 is. The heatsink is every bit as wide as the AMK 2X60 but the fins are more than twice as tall. As the Quake 3 voice would say "Impressive!".

Here is the VOS32 installed on to our test Pentium 3. The unit is so big it sticks up well above the CPU. The fans are mounted up high to not only clear any ATX power connector, but also to clear your DIMM slots!
