Final Thoughts and Conclusions
Thermaltake’s new SpinQ CPU cooler delivers good cooling performance with minimal noise and it looks great.  The fit-n-finish is good and the performance to noise ratio is above average.  The cooler is easy to install and features mounts for both Intel and AMD platforms.  However overclockers and users interested in maximum performance will likely want to look elsewhere.
