Thermaltake SpinQ CL-P0466

Thermaltake, a company that has repeatedly designed outside the box, recently introduced the SpinQ CL-P0466 CPU cooler. Looking like nothing you've ever seen before, the SpinQ appears extremely intriguing.

The SpinQ is a complex arrangement of fifty wave-shaped aluminum disc fins, each being turned slightly in progression, joined to six nickel-plated copper heat-pipes. Each rod is spaced equidistant from the next, and all six meet side-by-side in the nickel-plated copper base.

An 80mm blower fan draws air into the center chamber of the CL-P0466, and then expels it out pasts holes between fins and heat-pipe rods. The Thermaltake SpinQ comes with a push-pin mounting kit, and adapts to the AMD AM2/AM2+/939/754 and Intel LGA775/LGA1366 sockets.

The best price we found for the Thermaltake CL-P0466 among listed retailers was $54.99, which is decidedly better than the $79.99 list price, but nowhere near as appealing as the prices we've seen for our top-rated cooling product. NewEgg also offers the SpinQ for $59.99.
