Alpha (FC-)PAL6035MUC with Sanyo Denki fans
 
 
 
After looking at the PAL6035/YS Tech combo  let's have a look at the "original" PAL6035MUC, as Alpha ships it:
 

The fan

 
The Sanyo Denki fan used by Alpha spins at 3750rpm, and moves 20CFM, which means that they're not quite as efficient as the YS Tech fans, but much
quiter. Lower noise or better performance is a choice that you will have to make.  However, it would be exaggerated to call the P7125CM60/Sanyo Denki "quiet." The Sanyo Denki fans support RPM monitoring.


Installation


Everything said about installation in the PAL6035/YS Tech section also applies to this combo.

Conclusion

The FC-PAL6035CM60 with Sanyo Denki fans performs almost as well as the same heatsink equipped with YS Tech fans, but it is much quieter. For these reasons, we highly recommend this unit. The only disadvantages are the high price (the Sanyo Denki fans are even more expensive than the YS Tech fans) and the fact that it blocks up to two DIMM slots when used with a Slotket.
