LPT-709

We are moving towards more serious models an overclocker may get interested in. The next model is called Auras LPT-709.

The package with this cooler is designed in the same style as the previous model’s, showing a photo of the cooler, its specs, supported platforms and features. There is also an additional temperature diagram telling you that not only the CPU temperature, but also the cooling of the mainboard’s near-socket elements is much better with the Auras LPT-709 as opposed to the boxed cooler.

The accessories lie in a special compartment at the top of the box:

• Frame to mount the cooler on Socket 754/939/940/AM2
• Fastener with plastic locks for LGA775
• Auras sticker
• Four screws
• Installation guide
• Syringe with thermal grease
• 3-year warranty

While the two models discussed above belong to the mainstream class of air coolers, the Auras LPT-709 is a more respectable product even in its appearance.

It is beautiful. Its copper base, copper heat pipes and aluminum heatsink are nickel-plated to create a stern and stylish appearance.

The heatsink with a 92mm fan hangs on four 6mm heat pipes.

To put airflow to better use, the sides are made blank due to the curved-in ends of the ribs while the pipes that go out of the copper base are tilted towards the direction of airflow.

The cooler measures 92x86x140mm at only 415g of weight (with the fan).

The heatsinks ribs are shaped curiously:

According to the picture on the cooler packaging, this wing-like shape of the ribs ensures proper airflows inside the heatsink and reduces resistance to it.

I have seen something like that in the design of the Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme cooler which eventually became the winner of our tests.
