Thermalright TRUE Spirit 140 Direct performance:Thermalright TRUE Spirit 140 Direct is a cooler, which I've been very excited about and really eager to test and review since I still believe its ancestor True Spirit 140 Power is one of, if not the best si...

Testing the TRUE Spirit 140 Direct by Thermalright took a couple of days longer than what we had originally scheduled since we thought our results were somehow “inaccurate” so we had to redo our tests not once but twice. The reason is because th...

Coming into the review, I didn't know what to expect performance-wise from the TRUE Spirit 140 Direct cooler because of its small single tower radistor and non-traditional base plate assembly. I refer to the base plate assembly as non-traditional because...
If you've ever wondered why Thermalright is one of the best heatsink companies out there you can stop wondering. To produce a cooler that is as capable as the True Spirit 140 Direct is and then to price it as low as they have ($47) is a marvel and one tha...

Abstract: Thermalright sent over all three models in its True Spirit heat sink family, complete with 92, 120, and 140 mm fans. We dropped each one onto an FX-8350 processor to gauge its cooling performance and acoustic output. Which one takes the value win? Meet ...
Abstract: The Taiwan-headquartered Xigmatek doesn’t release new cooling systems too often and doesn’t offer any indisputable super-coolers at this time, although at some point its CPU coolers used to be close to the leading solutions, if not among them. Right no...
Thermalright again has come up with an answer to the competition in the heatsink market. Not only have they kept pricing reasonable on the True Spirit 140, they have also kept the performance up there in the top rank of air cooling. I have been using Th...
The Intel Core i7-2600K makes a perfect case scenario of a processor that can really benefit from an upgraded cooler. Despite being a more expensive unlocked processor, Intel bundles the Core i7-2600K with the same low profile heatsink that comes with...
Although the latest True Spirit 140 comes with a wide range of changes (larger size, more heatpipes, larger fan) which clearly help it outperform its predecessor, the original True Spirit with ease Thermalright is still aiming to win over both ...
