With the True Spirit 140 Direct we offer a high-performance HDT CPU-Cooler. The Cooler is based on the well-known True Spirit design and is the first choice for price conscious users. The silent optimized cooler offers superior cooling performance with no frills at a very attractive price.
The original conception of the True Spirit 140 has been maintained: The narrow design of the cooler makes incompatibilities of the fans with adjacent memory banks avoidable in most cases. For this purpose the cooling fan design were optimized for slow-rotating fans. The aluminum cooling ribs are also provided with a plurality of air holes, which counteract an air jam between the individual cooling ribs.
The True Spirit 140 Direct makes use of the Heatpipe Direct Touch principle. A total of five high-performance 6 mm heatpipes provide the most efficient dissipation of the generated processor heat. The heatpipes are, as usual, in a convex form. This patented design of the heatpipes, which are intentionally not ground flat, gives the True Spirit 140 Direct an outstanding cooling performance for a HDT cooler.
Another advantage of the HDT-Design is the reduced installation height. The HDT-Cooler is 4 mm lower than the Macho, so it will also fit in cases where the "normal" True Spirit 140 BW Rev. A is too high.
The special design of the heatsink’s aluminum fins allows for a particularly low air resistance. The additional perforation of the cooling fins acts against heat buildup between the individual lamellae layers and supports the efficient temperature reduction.
A temperature-controlled TY-140 Black (PWM) is included with the cooler. The fan has been optimized for the True Spirit 140 Direct. With a rotation speed that ranges from 300 to 1,300 rpm the fan runs especially quiet. The TY-140 Black features a low-wear “Enhanced Hyper-Flow Bearing”.
The air flow varies between 28.7 and an impressive 125 m³/h. The proven fan with its unique design features the mounting points of a conventional 120 mm fan and has a larger inner diameter than conventional 140 mm fans. The fan is fitted securely to the heatsink with the included, revised fan brackets – specially designed anti-vibration pads allow for decoupled mounting.
A universal mounting kit is included with the True Spirit 140 Direct that supports all current Intel- and AMD sockets (Intel LGA1156/1155/2011/1150/2011-3/1151 und AMD AM2/AM2+/AM3/FM1/FM2/FM2+). The installation is simple and self-explanatory - an illustrated manual is included.
