Testing and Conclusions
We used the provided thermal grease in our testing,
it is your basic run of the mill white stuff. The testing was
done in comparison with the retail Slot 1 heatsink. The max
speeds are stable system speeds of at least an hour. I threw
in some Alpha P3125 numbers just to spice things up:

The VOS32 does a very good job of
getting that PIII Cooled! Very on par with the other great
Alpha cooler. The only item that may be of interest is that it
needed .05 more volts to keep it stable at 825MHz.
At $28, this large cooler is a good
deal only if you have the real estate on your motherboard. On
our Asus P3B-F, it blocked off 1 DIMM slot. With a little
squeezing, you may get it in...but I'm sure you wouldn't want to
risk that : )
Again, we would like to thank SubzeroPC
for providing us with this sample! Go get yourself something and
tell 'em Ed sent ya!
Pros:
-
Lots of heatsink area to dissipate heat
-
Great performer for the price
-
Nice package of extras (thermal grease, 3pin
splitter, etc.)
Cons:
