The Cogage True Spirit is a typically-design CPU cooler with four U-Shaped full copper heatpipes and a balanced 120mm fan. What should you expect from this baby? Well, it performs more than adequately even under demanding overclocking scenarios as the one we used for our tests with our Core i7-920 system. In addition, it is quality-built and most importantly, it is affordable.The Cogage TRUE Spirit can be found online for less than $40.

Noise levels are average but they can be improved by using the PWM function.

So we have to do here with an efficient and affordable product that will not interfere with your motherboard components and will do the job pretty well. As always, adding a second 120mm fan could give you some extra performance. With the economy as it currently is, the Cogage True Spirit deserves your deserves your attention if you need to upgrade your LGA 1366 system. A well-balanced product and a good bang for buck.
