"Here at THERMALRIGHT our motto is "innovated - not imitated", and we have a long history of doing this with some of the best CPU coolers in the industry. The TRUE Spirit 140 Direct is another great cooler in this line. The TRUE Spirit 140 Direct's smaller size and direct contact heatpipes give great cooling ability in a small quiet package. It's 140mm width and 161mm height means it will fit many systems larger coolers cannot while it's cooling ability will handle most applications. It's TY-140 Black fan is the evolution of our legendary TY-140 fan series and moves large volume of air at very low noise levels. "
TRUE Spirit™ CPU coolers have long history been CPU heatsink industry leaders, and now the significantly upgraded TRUE Spirit™ 140 Direct is the most powerful and high quality heatsink. This virtually inaudible single-tower CPU cooler puts legendary name THERMALRIGHT! THERMALRIGHT® airflow logo orifice on heatsink where it really make massive airflows of cooling solutions. They are excellent for overclocked systems, demanding multi-graphics platforms and even enjoy your gaming time as always. They are excellent for overclocked systems, demanding multi-graphics platforms and even enjoy your gaming time as always.TRUE Spirit™ 140 Direct offers high standard performance-to-noise ratio and the highest reliability available. Improved cooling efficiency (200W TDP) and really silent operation (only 15-21.1dBA at maximum speed) TRUE™ silent give you the best performance and enjoy the class of cooling solutions in your life time.

From our beginning in 2001 THERMALRIGHT has always strived to make the best possible cooling solutions available in computer market. We have implemented many changes in the industry, like convex cooler base and that are now widely used by in industry today. We choose the best possible higher thermal conductivity values materials, our heat pipes, base plate and fin material is state of the art. High standard product is by our possible cooling solutions art design, the quality of material, and the performance test many times before release it. Our Art is to keep the best Quality and Performance on our heatsink.
TRUE™ Heat Pipe Direct Touch when heat boils the liquid in the wick it vaporizes and expands pushing the vapor in the heatpipe toward it's cooler ends. As the vapor moves toward the cooler ends of heatpipes it cools, condenses and contracts pulling the vapor behind it toward the cooling fin area of the heatpipes. Once the vapor is again liquid, the sintered wicking material's capillary action draws the liquid from cool ends of heatpipes toward center and heat source area of the heatpipes, where it again boils and vaporizes again starting the cycle.
THERMALRIGHT® heat-pipes remain isolated for a sufficiently long period of time, it can achieve its internal thermal equilibrium, ie, the overall internal temperature uniformity. However, the system does not necessarily achieve a thermodynamic equilibrium in achieving thermal equilibrium, since the structural barriers of the system itself may impede the achievement of certain equilibria. An isolated 5 dice golden triangle design can change the temperature of its material or its internal temperature by changing the state of its material. In the case of materials with a high temperature in a high-temperature insulated container and at the beginning of temperature nonuniformity, the temperature at different heights may become uniform under the influence of the gravity field for a long time, and the pressure or density may not be the same.
After the temperature of the object in contact, the heat will flow from the high temperature at low temperature, and THERMALRIGHT® airflow logo orifice will make the air circulation so when CPU direct touch between THERMALRIGHT® heat-pipes the same temperature is no longer change, that is, to achieve the state of thermal equilibrium.
THERMALRIGHT® TRUE™ anti-vibration air tubes are makes by anti-static rubber material. Our TRUE™ anti-vibration air tubes design is used for the TRUE Spirit™ series heatsink, install the air tubes into a cooler's curve and this can increase the maximum airflow of heatsink also it reduce the annoying resonance noises. The TRUE™ anti-vibration air tubes can help to reduce the transmission of structure-borne noises and thus lower your PC's overall noise level.
THERMALRIGHT®
Enhancement black metal backplate
Avoid the shock impact of your desktop so THERMALRIGHT® enhancement black metal backplate has been several years from now. It can strongly hold your cooler between the CPU socket and motherboard make it even more protection and stable pressure connection for your CPU and motherboard. Thermal management start from the bottom and that's how THERMALRIGHT do!
Pros: Tower heatsink seems to be good quality, included fan is not bad.
Cons: Installation is not the easiest, those four rubber dampers for the fan is annoying to insert and they can still come off easily.
Overall Review: You can see many cost cutting trade offs at this price point, my biggest complain is the contacting surface. Yes yes I know "direct heat pipe contact" is meant to be cost saving, but the contacting surface is just too small and there are huge gaps (relatively) compared to other similar coolers. Unless you apply a huge amount of thermal paste, you can clearly see there are spaces between each heat pipe contacting area after you remove the cooler. This poor contact surface is the direct result of pretty meh thermal performance.
