In the nearest time, Thermalright is going to present TRUE Spirit 120 Direct, which is a cooling device of an average efficiency. This construction weighs around 600 g and is 120 mm long, 67 mm wide and 141 mm high. It will apparently cost less than TRUE Spirit 140 Direct models (going for approximately $47).The heatsink of TRUE Spirit 120 Direct consists of an aluminium pressure plate, four U-shaped copper nickelized 6 mm heat pipes and tens of perforated aluminium plates. The 120 mm fan is attached to the radiator by standard wire spikes. The rotary speed of this unit is unknown yet, however, taking into account another 120 mm fan cooler (TRUE Spirit 120M BW Rev.A), we may assume it will not exceed 1,500 rpm.
It is remarkable that in the lower part the fan is located almost at the base level. Such a strange design may prove its worth in systems, including motherboards with massive, but ineffective VRM heatsinks.

Nowadays compact systems are becoming more widespread, thus increasing the popularity of low-profile cooling systems. Specifically for such systems, the SilverStone Company has designed a low-profile air cooling system under the NT08-115XP codename.
Chinese company Orico has just voiced good news for all people craving for a comprehensive device which enables numerous USB 3.0 connections. Its new seven-port hub H7988-U3 is able to satisfy the needs of any customer who feels the need for several simultaneous USB 3.0 connections. This is not the first Orico's attempt to produce a really multi-functional device. The company has recently introduced PC expansion chip with PCI Express x1 interface which involved seven ports as well. Analogous functionality has been implemented in a new external hub H7988-U3.
