LSCool LSHS-X500 CPU Cooler for P4 S478 and AMD A64 Review

Cooling/CPU Cooling by SidneyWong @ 2005-07-26

Here is a new Company into CPU cooling promising a low profile application using copper/heatpipe technology plus light weight in a traditional way. The design utilizes three heat pipes and copper fins. Let?s find out how it performs.

Test 1&2

Test System 1

P4 Prescott Test Setup - Ambient temp during test ~25.5°C
CPU	P4 Prescott S478 2.8E @ 3.43 GHz 1.485 Vcore
Mainboard	Asus P4P800 Deluxe
Memory	2*256Mb PC3200
Other	R9000 Pro 128Mb Two Optical drives 120 GB SATA Hard Drive Leadtek TV tuner 120 mm exhaust; 90 mm intake Chenbro Xpider II Case

Prime95 and MBM5 are used for temp stress and temp recording respectively. The same 92mm fan from the X500 was used on the XP-90.

LSHS-X500 @63°C versus XP-90 58°C, each test repeated twice.

Test System 2

P4 2A Test Setup - Ambient temp during test ~26.5-28.5°C
CPU	P4 2A S478 2.0 @ 3.2 GHz 1.60 Vcore
Mainboard	Asus P4P800
Memory	2*256Mb PC3200
Other	R9000 64MB Two Optical drives 80 GB EIDE Hard Drive Phone Modem 80 mm exhaust; 80 mm intake; 80 mm Top Blower Codegen Mini Server

LSHS-X500 @47°C versus Intel Stock 50°C, each test repeated twice.

However, the X-500 temp was taken with ambient temp @28.5°C versus 26.5°C for the Intel Stock test. Therefore, the Intel Stock unit would have been topped @52°C. Please note the screen shot with CPU fan ~2,100 rpm versus ~3,100 rpm Intel.

Sound level measurement

CEM DT-8850 Digital Sound Level Meter

To measure the sound level, a power supply with internal fan disconnected and the microphone placed ~ 18 Inches (45cm) from the fans which are in free standing on 3" foam pad.

X-500 @ ~2,200 rpm

Intel Stock @ ~3,000 rpm

Madshrimps (c)

Ambient noise level of 37.7 dBA, the X500 returns 41.3 dBA and the Intel at 45.1 dBA, adding the Intel fan generates a frequency more "intrusive" to the ears.
