Thermalright Intros Frost Spirit 140 BLACK V3 CPU Cooler

[btarunr]

Thermalright today introduced the Frost Spirit 140 BLACK V3, a variant of the Frost Spirit 140 that the company introduced in 2019. The dual fin-stack cooler has been redone with black anodized aluminium fins, heat-pipes, and a nickel-plated C1100-grade copper base.

The original's design remains largely intact—four 8 mm-thick heat-pipes make indirect contact with the processor over the base, conveying heat to two aluminium fin-stacks, which are ventilated by a combination of a 120 mm "push" fan, and a 140 mm conveyor between the two fin-stacks. Both fans feature fluid-dynamic bearings. The 120 mm TL-C12B turns at 1,500 RPM, pushing up to 66.17 CFM at up to 25.6 dBA noise output. The 140 mm TL-D14B can do 1,500 RPM, handling up to 77.8 CFM of air-flow, at the same 25.6 dBA noise. CPU socket types supported include LGA1200, LGA115x, LGA2066, and AM4. Measuring 140 mm x 146 mm x 158 mm (WxDxH, including fans), the fully assembled cooler can weigh up to 1.28 kg. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Without RGB too!

This is exciting.

Well atleast someone is excited for yet another cooler....but uhh what is up with those heatpipes? low amount of larger diameter is as good as just having many?

Nice looking cooler, but not sure what real difference having a 140mm in the center vs a 120mm will make, other than a couple more cfm's, but if I were really worried about that, I would just attach anutha fan on the other side & have an even higher-performing pull/push/pull config anyways

No offset makes me think you won't be able to access the Ram once this is installed, also not sure why they bother with the cut out section on the VRM side now.

this mark does not inform the maximum TDP

140mm is there to keep noise down.

Yeah its a little annoying but should be easy to get to once the fan is off.

I don't remember the exact math, but 8mm pipes have about 20% more capacity then 6mm pipes. Now imagine the pipes over the CPU and its internal components. Small and dense making lots of heat.. that 8mm pipe will carry more heat away faster than a 6mm pipe will.

You would think that but this is a copy (externally) of a D14 which has 6- 6mm heat pipes so that 20% doesn't make up for 25% needed.

Also I remember there was a cooler that had 2 8mm in center and rest was 6mm, I to thought it would perform better but it didn't (I can't remember the cooler or I would link it).

I guess we will see, also are these HP soldered to the fin stack?

I'm running its bigger brother right now, the Frost Commander 140, with 5x 8mm pipes. It performs better on my 5600X/5900X than my Le Grand Macho RT with 7x 6mm pipes, and my True Spirit 140 Power with 6x 8mm pipes. Both of those coolers are directly comparable to D14/D15.

Looks damn solid. Would love a review that runs it against to the Fuma 2.

ut uhh what is up with those heatpipes?

those aint heatpipes they're V8 headers by Thrush!

 

[eidairaman1]

those aint heatpipes they're V8 headers by Thrush!

Id like to see something from them that is like the Scythe Ashura. Too bad they dont make them, they are awesome

 

[Turmania]

Iove this company and their products, and I'm sure they have done their own testing before releasing. But this just does not appeal to me.maybe the white wordings on top. If I want black, I want it all black.

 

[owen10578]

Would be interesting to see this stack up to the D15 considering the difference in heatpipe approach. This being few but HUGE heatpipes vs many small heatpipes.

What is different on "V3" from original Frost Spirit 140 Black that's been around for at least a year ago now?

Thermalright first used 4x 8mm heatpipes in twin tower design way back in 2007. Thermalright first used it in IFX-14 (2007), then Cogage Arrow (2008) and finally in original Silver Arrow (2009-10) .. and now again in Frost Spirit 140. Frost Spirit 140 has flat fins and offset base. IFX-14, Cogage Arrow and Silver Arrow had centered base and 54 fancy shaped fins and different fans, while Frost Spirit 140 has 58 fins, but same basic twin tower with 4x 8mm heatpipes.
