Default LSHS L500 and X500 CPU Coolers

BigAkita has a new review up on a couple heatsinks trying to bust into the heatpipe cooler scene... it seems as though they won't be very successful with this attempt, though.


Check it out here.

Straight and to the point, nice!
I too get frustrated with translated instructions at times, but as for the beer flavored ice cream.... I tried a beer float in HS on a dare and trust me, it isn't very good.

hi there, we did a review of this heatsink (X500) a few months ago, the bad performance you are getting might be due to a concave (not flat) base

BA, are you sure it's nickel plated copper and not just solid aluminum?

Well if you want to get rid of one im glad to pay shipping. I need to replace the 478 HSF on the family PC....for cheap..?


Good review though. I would like to have done one for my 7700 al-cu but there is already one here

OT: I beg to differ. I had a spectacular "Guinness Float" w/ chocolate ice cream. Great combination!



Okay, back on topic. I've been on PR for over a year, contribute wherever I can, try to help people out, love to do simple mods while I'm building a "work area" to do some bigger deals ... and suddenly, it occurs to me, I've still got the stock HSF on my Intel 2.8 Socket 478 chip.

Any good suggestions for a better HSF in socket 478? I'm not willing to go liquid for cooling, yet ... all air, if you please.

True, a different beer may have made a difference but I did mention High School which meant 99 cent quarts of Old Milwaukee since my friend's dad owned a convenience store and he worked at it.
