With my concerns out of the way, I can comfortably tell you that I do like the ThermalTake SpinQ. It averaged 16% cooler temperatures at load and ~20% at idle on the C0 stepping Intel I7 920 than the stock cooler does. It does bang up job, has a look...

The ThermalTake SpinQ VT is a very innovative heatsink with a unique design that resembles a thousand throwing stars. While we cannot condone using the SpinQ VT as a weapon (or be responsible if you did) it does an excellent job at delivering cooling...
Abstract: Thermaltake's SpinQ VT heatsink is undeniably unique, it's sculptural and nothing about its helical fin arrangement is unnecessarily complex. The SpinQ VT heatsink stands 162mm tall and is made from nickel plated aluminum fins soldered over six copper...

Overall the Thermaltake SpinQ VT is a decent CPU cooler. It costs $20 cheaper (MSRP) than the original SpinQ and offers better performance. This cooler takes up a lot of vertical space in the case which may be a problem for some people, but on the othe...
Thermaltake SpinQ VT CPU cooler impressed us with its looks. It has a very unique and cool design, and will surely draw attention in any computer with a transparent side window. Its fan is also pretty quiet.It performed well, although it is not a top-p...

Since we completed testing we tried out the Thermaltake SpinQ VT on our Intel i5 661 3.33GHz dual core CPU (newly acquired) and it does a killer job of keeping the i5 661 cool. We successfully overclocked the i5 661 to 4.3GHz with the SpinQ VT so it m...
The Thermaltake SpinQ VT is a delightful to have on our test bench. The lighter than normal cooler competed well against some of the biggest baddest coolers on the market. And the design and concept that make up the cooler is a nice change from what ...
The Thermaltake SpinQ VF is a unique heatsink when you consider what the standard heatsink looks like, with it's spiral design the device does and very admirable job of keeping the processor at a comfortable operating temperature. If you are in the...
