With the fan included, the new True Spirit 140 BW Rev.A measure 155mm x 80mm x 165mm (L x W x H) and weighs 770g. Pricing is expected to be similar with the current True Spirit 140, which means around $55.
Soon after the launch of the Macho Zero and just after the updated Thermalright HR-02 Macho Rev. B has been released, we now present the True Spirit 140 BW Rev. A.
Our latest single tower cooler is the optimized version if the True Spirit 140, which works as a more compact version in addition to the True Spirit 140 Power. True to their motto “innovated – not imitated” we again implement ideas from our fans worldwide.
The True Spirit 140 BW Rev. A offers maximum cooling capacity at an affordable price with very compact dimensions.
For the best possible compatibility to motherboards and PC-cases, the aluminum fins of the True Spirit 140 BW Rev. A are laterally offset. This way, incompatibilities to top mounted fans or PSUs can be completely avoided. Additionally, the total height of the True Spirit 140 BW Rev. A is reduced by approximately 5 mm with the new design, which means that the cooler can now be installed in more compact midi towers, for which the predecessors were simply too high. In addition the top-most PCIe slot will not be blocked anymore.
Like with its predecessors the width of the True Spirit 140 BW Rev. A is just 80 mm including the fan. Incompatibilities of the fan to the adjacent memory banks are avoided. In terms of optics, the True Spirit 140 BW Rev. A follows the design of the “Value” series: The copper heat pipes and the base of the heat sink are nickel plated and offer in combination with the black anodized top fin a highly refined look.
