[QUOTE=doyll;22030415][I]The Thermalright TRUE Spirit 140 Power Universal CPU Cooler is an tower style heatsink with a copper base and 6x [B]8mm heat pipes[/B] compared to other True Spirit 140s' with 6x 6mm heat pipes. The large heatsink fin array, provides dissipating area of up to 150*125mm, and makes complete use of the airflow, with 140mm or 120mm fan. This cooler supports multiple platforms making it a wise choice for those that may be changing hardware. The Thermalright TY-140 fan is included and is PWM enabled with a max RPM of 1300 with 73.6 CFM.[/I]

Quote: The True Spirit 140 "Power" is without a doubt the top model of the Thermalright "Value" series.

True to their motto “innovated – not imitated” Thermalright not only visually revised the heat sink for the recent version. The “Power” now comes with six 8 mm thick heatpipes (previously 6 mm). Thus, the performance of the True Spirit 140 could be further improved.

This means that the flagship of the True Spirit series still does not need to fear comparison with considerably more expensive models. If you want maximum performance at an affordable price and your case has the necessary width, the True Spirit 140 "Power" is certainly your best choice.

The copper heatpipes now are nickel-plated and offer in combination with the black anodized top-fin a very elegant appearance, probably unique in a cooler in this price range. With the revised design, the new Thermalright Series for 2014 combines for the first time the high-quality optics of the high-priced high-end coolers with the award-winning, outstanding value-for-money of the proven "value" models.

The large heatsink is optimized for 140 mm fans. The narrow design of the cooler makes incompatibilities of the fans with adjacent memory banks avoidable in most cases. The heat sink is equipped with six 6 mm thick, high-quality heat pipes, which are optimally positioned to effectively dissipate the heat generated by the CPU to the 50 aluminum fins. The copper contact surface of the cooler is nickel-plated and highly polished.

The special partly angled fin design serves to minimize the air resistance and at the same time effectively contributes to a considerable reduction of the system temperature. The distance between the aluminum fins was chosen so that the cooler provides a well above-average performance, even at lowest fan speed. Of course, the most powerful cooler of the Thermalright “Value” series knows how to impress with its high quality processing.

A temperature-controlled TY-147 PWM-fan is included with the cooler. The rotation speed varies – depending on the CPU-temperature – between 900 – 1,300 rpm (+/- 15%), resulting in an air flow capacity of about 96 – 125 m³/h. Owing to its sophisticated design, the inner diameter of the fan is even slightly greater than that of a conventional 140 mm fan (!). This mean that even at low speed and correspondingly lower noise, the capacity is higher than the performance of most conventional 120 mm axial fans. For a sufficiently silent operation, the model uses seven blades in a special "torpedo" design. Together with the optimized wings and streamlined frame design, this causes a particularly effective and at the same time also very quiet air flow.

Corresponding to the claim of being the most powerful model of the series, a total of four specially designed fan clips are included. This allows the installation of a second fan, if desired. The fans can be anti-vibration mounted with the enclosed AntiVibe-Pads (8 pcs included). By dispensing the backplate assembly was further simplified.

A universal mounting kit is included, which supports all actual Intel- and AMD sockets (Intel LGA775/1366/1156/1155/2011/1150 and AMD AM2/AM2+/AM3/FM1/FM2). The installation is simple and self-explanatory - an illustrated manual is included.

First review is out. 1.3c warmer than NH-D14 2011SE with single fan on 3690X@4.5GHz. Wonder how it will do with 2 fans.. or 2 TY-143 fans? [IMG]http://files.overclock.net/images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/IMG]

Very impressive!
 6x 8mm heatpipes give it as much or more heatpipe area as the best have, but obviously not as much fin area. Everything is plated and black top too. [IMG]http://files.overclock.net/images/smilies/thumb.gif[/IMG]

Even without fan speeds that review's data is totally out of line. TRUE Spirit 140 Power perform similar to NH-D15. Well actually it performs slightly better than NH-D14 when we tested it with TY-143 fan/s at 1200rpm and 2500rpm, and ehume's comparison testing of NH-D14 against NH-D15 with same fans found D14 to similar to slightly better than D15. No idea what the problem is but there is something seriously wrong .. and any decent reviewer would have at the very least acknowledged something was wrong with results, be it a defective cooler, bad TIM seat, etc.
There are several reviews posted in this thread. If you skip through you will find them and links to view them.

That review doesn't show fan speeds only db rating so no idea what speeds they are actually running fans at so it is hard to compare.

I am currently running on CoolerMaster 120 AIO water setup , when idle, it's quiet, but its pretty annoying during load. (load temps around 70c)

Yeah, I found his reviews a bit fishy and I even found his earlier "rants" on previous posts here so I will take the results with grain of salt.

But its really hard to find any overall reviews of True Spirit , just some russian reviews but not comparing with others.

Thanks guys, I'll read more previous posts as my answers were probably answered somewhere before.

I tried to find his test procedure but it appears he doesn't give it. Therefore assume video testing procedure is flawed. It does show testing is done in a case but I see nothing about how air temp is monitored during testing. Lots of time talking about a lots of things but nothing at all about how case airflow is setup or how testing is performed. Case appears to be a stock Define case and they have case fans that can't overcome the resistance of front grill and filter so case airflow is extremely low. Testing without air temp into cooler being logged at same time as CPU temp is taken have no base for accuracy because air temp changes as fan speeds change .. and every degree change in air temp is reflected with almost exactly the same change in CPU temp at same cooler fan speeds. Also not mentioned is TRUE Spirit 140 Power is rated for 360w TDP, almost twice what he claims test is. I've ran TRUE Spirit 140 Power on I7 920 @ 3.8GHz for years and we tested at 4.3GHz against NH-D14 which cools same as NH-D15 and it was consistanly cooler as you can see in below graph in post #22 this thread:

https://www.overclock.net/forum/22111036-post22.html

What you get is up to you. But whatever you get I suggest you take the time to read "How Airflow Works and How to Optimize Case Airflow" in link below:
https://www.overclock.net/forum/22319249-post5.html
Because if case airflow is not setup so cooler is using cool air (not air 10-20c warmer than room) your CPU temps will be 10-20c hotter than they should. Doesn't matter how good or how bad the cooler is if case airflow isn't setup properly.

Below is link to how airflow works and how to optimize case airflow. Last bit is what I use to monitor case airflow into coolers.

Sounds like times are good. Assuming this is R5 case, have you replaced the stock garbage fans with better ones? The stock fans have such low pressure rating that they move almost no air even at full speed through grill and filter restriction. Also I've found removing all PCIe back slot covers increases rear vent area around GPU and improves front to back airflow lowering both GPU and CPU temps. I didn't realize H5 was heavier cooler, but I'm not surprised.

I did check the Noctua fan and I have enough room to drill some mounting holes in the frame for using the TS Clips for mounting so when I'm off work next I'll get the Noctua mounted in.

My old Cryorig H5 would keep me at 70c under normal loads but hammering it with prime Small FFT would reach as high as 93c under torture test with my Noctua at 2000+ RPM. The TS140 is able to bring that temp under control with 85c at only 1300rpm. The everyday temps aren't very different but the TS140 runs the same temps at lower fan RPM, 40g lower weight, and a much more solid mount system.
