The following pictures give you an up close view of the Thermaltake Jing from several different angles. Of note here is the dual 120 mm “Open Air” style fans which facilitate the quiet operation this cooler is designed to accomplish. Each of the two fans has it’s own speed control dial allowing for fan speeds from 800 RPM to 1300 RPM. With the fans and shroud removed you get a good look at the 41 fins that are .5mm thick and the 5 heat pipes measuring 6mm. Removing the fans and shroud is a very easy process which only requires releasing a few easily accessible retaining tabs and removing the parts.
The close up view of the backing plate reveals a very unique idea by Thermaltake. The backing plate works with all the supported socket types making for a true “all in one” design. Each side of the backing plate is marked either Intel or AMD and you simply attach the backing plate with your socket type marking away from the motherboard. In addition to the unique backing plate, the accessories include some thermal compound, all the AMD and Intel specific brackets and hardware. The accessory box is able to be used as a storage container for all the items you do not use for your application.
The base of the Jing is polished to a mirror finish as you can see by the pictures below, we found the surface to be very flat as well. No doubt the Jing will make excellent contact with the surface of the CPU.
