Introduction
We've seen CPU coolers in all shapes and sizes, materials and costs, and it's always refreshing to see something come along that breaks traditional notions of design. While we certainly think Performance is King, we also appreciate aesthetics as icing on the cake. After all, who loves a hotrod that drives the ladies away? No, we want killer performance and we want that to come in a package that makes us proud to show it off.

Today we're looking at a CPU cooler that has the stunning looks to satisfy: the Thermaltake SpinQ. Sporting an utterly gorgeous chrome-like aesthetic that features an innovative helical design, it is also finally Socket 1366-compatible, so we'll be dropping it on a Core i7, cranking up the heat, and see if the SpinQ has the brawn underneath the hood to match its hotrod exterior.

Thanks go to our friends at Thermaltake for supplying us with the review sample.


“Since the beginning of Thermaltake in 1999, it has been at the forefront of creating new and exciting products at a time where most computer users were provided little to no choices for components that may seem irrelevant, but are in reality crucial to the performance of a PC. Thermaltake Server Series solutions, with years of thermal experience and industry leadership, sets its goal on reforming total thermal management in the server segment by formulating the perfect mixture of versatility, efficiency and thermal management with each respective server product category: Rackmount Chassis, Server Fixed & Redundant Power Supply and Server CPU Cooling Management Solutions.”
