TT is not that good of a company and very mainstream and what not. Dark Rock 4 will give you amazing cooling with low fan noise and what not.

Posted February 4, 2019 The specs of the Thermalright look nice for sure. IMO stick with the dark rock 4 pro. Known good company and i like the looks better. For me I'd have to stick with the Dark rock 4 pro, no US sellers? According to thermalrights site at least. ~~~~Started Folding - Feb 7, 2019~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 4, 2019 The True Spirit 140 Power performs better and the DR4 is quieter. What cpu are you cooling and why are you looking at these coolers in particular?

Posted February 5, 2019 28 minutes ago, Pcexbird said: I'm trying to go single tower Wait for the next gen Noctua NF-U12 with 7 heatpipes, or the newly introduced Dark Rock Slim Quote The NH-U12 is the fifth-generation of this design. The primary upgrade is the switch to Noctua’s own NF-A12x12 120mm premium fans that have been five years in the making and have an extremely tight clearance between the blade tip and frame. The NH-U12 uses two of them in a push-pull configuration, includes seven heat pipes, and has 37 percent more surface area compared to the NH-U12S. A live demo at the Computex 2018 booth showed the new cooler running next to the flagship NH-D15 and achieving performance within 1°C of it at 220W load. Noctua promises excellent PCIe and RAM compatibility with this cooler, and you can expect to see it towards the end of the year or early next year at a price of around 100 Euros. https://bit-tech.net/news/tech/cooling/noctua-reveals-fifth-gen-nh-u12-cooler/1/ My system specs: Spoiler CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K, 5GHz Delidded LM || CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-C14S w/ NF-A15 & NF-A14 Chromax fans in push-pull cofiguration || Motherboard: MSI Z370i Gaming Pro Carbon AC || RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2x8Gb 2666 || GPU: EVGA GTX 1060 6Gb FTW2+ DT || Storage: Samsung 860 Evo M.2 SATA SSD 250Gb, 2x 2.5" HDDs 1Tb & 500Gb || ODD: 9mm Slim DVD RW || PSU: Corsair SF600 80+ Platinum || Case: Cougar QBX + 1x Noctua NF-R8 front intake + 2x Noctua NF-F12 iPPC top exhaust + Cougar stock 92mm DC fan rear exhaust || Monitor: ASUS VG248QE || Keyboard: Ducky One 2 Mini Cherry MX Red || Mouse: Logitech G703 || Audio: Corsair HS70 Wireless || Other: XBox One S Controler My build logs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a TDP of 360 watts it definitely has my attention... The NH-U14S and True Spirit 140 Power perform similarly. If you're okay with overtightening, the True Spirit 140 Power performs a bit better. I'd personally go with the NH-U14S for the longer warranty and longer lasting fan.

Noctua stated they will be released in late 2018 or early 2019, and we're already in early 2019, but there's nothing from them.. https://noctua.at/en/noctua-at-computex-2018 Quote In a live performance demonstration, the new cooler was pitted against the current flagship model at a heat load of 220W and showed near identical performance, despite being much smaller in size than the big dual-tower cooler, which will guarantee excellent RAM, PCIe and case compatibility. The new NH-U12 series cooler is currently scheduled for release in late 2018 or early 2019.
