Components and Design

The Thermaltake SpinQ CPU cooler features a Nickel plated copper base, six copper heat pipes and a cylindrical array of 50 sculptured, spiral cut aluminum fins. It uses a squirrel-cage style blower mounted in the center to optimize airflow. The blower produces radial airflow thru the cooler, which can help cool components around the CPU socket area (VRMs, Northbridge, RAM, etc.) and can potentially help increase overclocking.
The SpinQ cooler comes fitted with a small potentiometer that allows the end user to slow down the fan speed for quiet operation if desired.
The thin, two-piece, Nickel plated copper base exhibits a smooth machined finish and appears to be relatively flat.
The SpinQ uses universal mounting hardware that supports both Intel LGA775 and AMD processor platforms. The LGA775 mount features two brackets with push-pins that attach to the SpinQ base with four small screws, while the AMD solution uses a simple clip.
