  • Abstract:  The Cogage Arrow was the surprise package, beating it’s more well known sibling the Venomous X, as well as the Noctua NH-D14. Keep in mind that the temperature difference amongst the top three is around 1.5 degrees, but all the same..

  • To say that I am impressed with the Noctua NH-D14 would be the understatement of the year. This heatsink is simply incredible.Starting with the overall design, I really like it. The dual tower aluminum fins really make a statement, with the 140mm fan ...
