The 80mm squirrel cage fan in the Thermaltake SpinQ heatsink spins at 1000-1600RPM. Power is supplied by a 3-pin motherboard fan header, while fan speed can be adjusted manually by the included fan speed controller. Six 6mm copper heatpipes are packed one next to the other at the base. Each aluminum fin is 20mm thick, 120mm in diameter. The central hole is 83mm across. The bulk of the SpinQ heatsink is elevated 35mm above the CPU, the heatsink itself stands 152mm tall.

Looking at the Thermaltake SpinQ heatsink from the side is surprising because you easily see right through it. The aluminum fins are 0.3mm thick, each fin is spaced 1.5mm apart. The copper base block is 3mm thick over the heatpipes.

The nickel plated copper base of the SpinQ heatsink measures 36x48mm. The surface is mirror smooth and mirror polished, all six heatpipes are soldered to it on the opposite side... but not very well. If the base is held up to a light, voids are visible between four of the six heatpipes and the copper base.
