The 80mm squirrel cage fan in the Thermaltake SpinQ VT 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 pass through the aluminum fins, but these are simply the ends of three heatpipes soldered to the base. Each aluminum fin is 20mm deep, 120mm in diameter. The central hole is 83mm across.

Looking at the Thermaltake SpinQ VT heatsink from the side you can more clearly see how only three heatpipes are used, but doubled up to pass through the cooling fins on opposite sides. Each aluminum fin measures 0.3mm thick and is spaced 1.5mm apart. The copper base block under the heatpipes is 6mm thick. The bulk of the SpinQ VT heatsink is elevated 63mm above the CPU.

The nickel plated copper base of the SpinQ VT heatsink measures 36x36mm. The surface is smooth but shows marks from the face milling. All three heatpipes are soldered to it on the opposite side.
