The cooling performance is really beyond reproach. My Scythe Mine CPU i5-750 @ 3.6 and 1.2 V held in the Linpack test just so at 85 ° Celsius, the True Spirit 140 allows them to be no warmer than 60 ° Celsius. The fan rotates at 1200 rpm!
The fan is controlled to operate in the range of about 600-1250 rpm on the board and thus silently in idle. Under load games he turns to me about 1000 rpm, making it audible but not disturbingly loud.
Who in his body gets the True Spirit (min. 170 mm high), gets very good cooling performance at a moderate volume for a small price.
