Thermalright today announced the TRUE Spirit 140 Direct, the latest version of its best-selling tower-type CPU cooler. Built on the proven TRUE Spirit 140 platform, the new cooler features a revised base in which the five 6 mm-thick nickel-plated copper heat-pipes make direct contact with the CPU. The five heat-pipes pass through points in the aluminium fin-stack that are evenly distributed.

The fin-stack itself is just 77 mm thick, although is taller, holding on to larger 140 mm fans. The included fan takes in 4-pin PWM power input, spins between 300-1300 RPM, and pushes up to 125 m³/h of air, with a noise output ranging between 15-21 dBA. The cooler is capable of handling thermal loads of up to 200W. Measuring 152 mm x 77 mm x 161 mm, the heatsink weights about 760 g. The fan adds about 26 mm of thickness to it. The cooler supports all modern CPU socket types, including LGA2011v3, LGA115x, AM3+, and FM2+. Available now, the TRUE Spirit 140 Direct CPU cooler is priced at 37.99€.
