Alpha
P7125CM60 w/ Sanyo Denki fans
After
looking at the P7125/YS Tech combination, let's have a look at the "original"
P7125CM60, as Alpha ships it:
The
Sanyo Denki fans used by Alpha spin at 3750rpm, and move 20CFM each, which
means that they're not quite as efficient as the YS Tech fans, but much
more silent. Lower noise or better performance is a choice that you will
have to make. Personally, I'd rather chose the original Alpha with Sanyo
Denki fans. It would be exaggerated to call the P7125CM60/Sanyo Denki "silent",
but the noise level is much more bearable than with the YS Tech fans.
Installation
Everything
said about installation in the P7125/YS Tech review also applies to this
combo. Alpha does not include a Molex Y-Adapter, so you will need two available
fan connectors on the motherboard.
Conclusion
This
heatsink/fan combo is a very good choice for noise-sensitive overclockers.
The problem is that this heatsink is not very widely available in the US,
and it is very expensive if you buy it directly from Alpha.
