Conclusion
The Alpha P3125 is an
excellently made cooler. If you are willing to give up $55
of your hard earned dollars for the unit you won’t be
disappointed with how well it does perform.
The cooler can increase the
life of your CPU by keeping it cooler than what you would
get with anything else and it can be used with some of the
future P3 CPUs. The Alpha P3125 allowed me to overclock my
CPU to 600MHz with only a core voltage of 2.0 volts.
Many
people that I have seen with Pentium 3 450 SL37Cs were only
able to get to 600MHz, but they had to use a little bit
higher voltage level. The actual installation of the cooler
is easy. Removing the stock unit is a little different
though. If you were willing to pay $55 for the Alpha P3125,
it would also be a good idea to know how to properly remove
the stock unit, so that you don’t also end up with a $150
to $600 dead CPU. Overall, the Alpha P3125 does what it is
supposed to do and that is to be the best air-cooling unit
for the Pentium III.
