Packaging

The Thermalright True Spirit 140 Direct comes in a box that measures in at roughly 15.2 cm long, 11.75 cm wide, and 18.6 cm high. On the front, you will find a glossy color image of the cooler along with the product name and Thermalright logo. Moving on, the left side again has a glossy color image of cooler, but this time, it prominently shows the heatpipe direct-touch base. The back barely lists any of the True Spirit 140 Direct's specifications as some data, like heatpipe size, warranty, etc., is absent.


On the right side is a quick hit list of the cooler's features, which include but are not limited to easy mounting, PWM fan, low noise, socket clearance, and more. The top just has True Spirit 140 Direct in white.

Thermalright packaged the True Spirit 140 Direct in a thin layer of foam inside a cardboard box. To be blunt, the amount of protection for the product is minimal. That said, it's still a drastic improvement over just plain cardboard with no protection at all. I would have liked some thicker foam or a bit more space around the product, but generally speaking, the packaging is passable, though only barely so.


The True Spirit 140 Direct requires very little effort to install, but has a lot of small bits and pieces.
