Conclusions

The Cogage Arrow is a huge cooler. With the stock 120 mm fan installed, it was almost too tall to close the left panel of our case (and it is a wide one). Imagine how wide it would be with two 140 mm fans installed!

With this stock fan, the cooler is very quiet when the CPU is idle and not too loud when the processor is under full load. The installation is relatively simple and it looks good if you like big coolers.

The performance was not bad, but Cogage Arrow does not achieve the temperatures we were expecting, based on its size and overall quality. However, on the idle test, it performed nicely, which may mean the single 120 mm fan gave insufficient airflow when things got really hot. Maybe with two strong 140 mm fans, it would perform far better.

The big issue with this cooler its price tag. It is actually more expensive than some Thermalright branded coolers. So, there are coolers with better cost/benefit ratios.
