Packaging and Accessories ( Cogage True Spirit )

Cogage True Spririt

As we mentioned in the introduction, the new Cogage TRUE Spirit’s box has undergone a bit of a face-lift. Gone is the less than optimal windowed affair and in its place is a much larger, much more colourful two piece affair with a flap that contains additional information.

When you open the box, you will see that the bottom section contains only the heat sink while the top flap is where all the accessories -including the fan- reside. We like the idea of keeping the fan separate from the cooler as it will reduce in-transit fan killing accidents from happening.



The accessories which accompany the newly revised TRUE Spirit have also undergone their own metamorphosis. The original True Spirit had a push-pin mounting setup which was sadly less than optimal; whereas this one comes with a backplate and mounting bracket.

Unfortunately, Cogage still only ships an Intel 1366-compatible bracket which to us is unacceptable in this day and age. Considering the increasing popularity of AMD’s processors, this omission is a total slap in the face in our opinion. Nonetheless, you also get an installation pamphlet, a Cogage case badge, two wire retention clips for the fan, two anti-vibration strips to reduce fan induced vibrations (and thus noise) and a syringe of TIM.
