An Interesting Tower with Great Potential

The Thermalright TA 140 is quite an intriguing option for a CPU cooler with great potential and a reasonable price tag. In form, it's a cooler of classic tower design with dual mounting and a radiator made of copper and aluminum, suitable for installation on modern motherboards with Intel and AMD processors.

Five Heat Pipes and 200W TDP

Unlike most "economical" cooling systems of this class, the TA 140 is equipped with a radiator not with four but five heat pipes (6 mm in diameter), which are like the radiator's fins. The cooler is equipped with a 140mm fan with a rotation speed from 600 to 1500 RPM, which is automatically regulated via PWM. The fan features a sleeve bearing with a screw thread. The most interesting aspect of this model is its 200W TDP at a price slightly over $50. It's practically the full equivalent of the much pricier Noctua NH-D15, which is more than enough for cooling when overclocking an 8-core chip like the Core i7 10700K.

VRM Area Cooling and Easy Installation

Another question is how well this all works. The Chinese brand Thermalright doesn't even come close to the reputation that Noctua, Zalman, and Deepcool have, and essentially, this is its first full-fledged tower. What can be said is that they did a good job: the TA 140 is easy to install, it blows effectively enough to reach the VRM area of the motherboard, it's not too tall, and doesn't block RAM slots. However, under high load, it isn't as quiet as the manufacturer claims (with a stated noise level of 23 dBA, they were modest), and the fan lacks RGB strips, but for this money, try finding something better.
