Thermalright is a company that has been around for more than a decade, and they?ve been dedicated to making high quality performance cooling products for the enthusiast. While we haven't had a chance to review a Thermalright product in several years, we?re happy to have another one on the bench to check out. Today we?re going to take a look at a variation of the TRUE Spirit series.
What makes the TRUE Spirit 140 Direct unique over the others in its series is the fact that it utilizes direct touch heatpipes ? five 6mm heatpipes to be exact. Utilizing direct contact heatpipes allows for superior cooling versus having to touch a copper base and then dissipate into the heatpipe. Another unique feature of the TRUE Spirit 140 Direct is the reduced installation height. Because of the direct touch heatpipe system, this cooler is 4mm lower than the TRUE Spirit 140 Rev. A and a whopping 9mm lower than the TRUE Spirit 140 Power. This reduced height will allow users to install this cooler into even more compact cases.
