Just like the ASUS solution we have just introduced to you, Thermaltake SpinQ has special grooves in the base plate cut out for the heatpipes:

However, we didn’t notice any traces of soldering or thermal glue. I dare suppose that they used thermal glue to ensure proper contact between the heatpipes and the cooler base, just like they did with V14Pro. I didn’t risk taking apart the only SpinQ sample I had.

The cooler base is finished impeccably, which has become typical of Thermaltake solutions lately:

The true mirror shine is almost there, however, in reality, you don’t need it. The most important thing is that the base is even, which has also been remarkably implemented in Thermaltake SpinQ:

There is a 80 x 85 mm turbine inside the cooler heatsink. It has slightly curved semi-transparent blades:

It sucks air in from its shorter sides and directs it to the heatsink plates from inside the cooler. Like the ASUS fan, this turbine was made by EverFlow using a slide bearing with the MTBF of 50.000 hours or more than 5.5 years of non-stop operation.

You can adjust the turbine rotation speed with the help of a small regulator branched from the main cable:

According to the specifications, the turbine rotation speed may vary from ~1000 to ~1600 RPM generating between ~19 and ~28 dBA of noise. The airflow spec is unknown. The turbine consumes maximum 5.4 W.
