Installing the TRUE Spirit

The TRUE Spirit comes with everything needed to mount the cooler to your LGA1366 CPU.

In the bag is all the mounting hardware needed to mount the TRUE Spirit to your LGA1366 CPU. It includes silicon strips for fan isolators and a tube of Thermalright chill factor thermal paste.

The fan of the TRUE Spirit is slightly different then your normal 120mm fan that ships with most CPU coolers. Most are 1200 RPM fans; the TRUE Spirit¡¯s fan is an 1800 RPM fan. Even though the specs say the top end is 1500 RPM.

The TRUE Spirit comes with two silicon strips that have a sticky side. These go in between the fan and the cooler to take up vibrations and reduce noise. The cooler only comes with one set of strips and clips, you can buy extra sets for around $2 +shipping if you want to run a dual fan setup.

Here we can see the TRUE Spirit with the fan mounted.

Installing the TRUE Spirit was simple and straight forward.
