Hardware Roundup Feb. 9

Legit Reviews has a very interesting article where Corsair tests out their own heatspreaders in addition to the OCZ’s XTC. The results are nothing amazing, and there is really no clear winner. It’s quite an interesting look though, so check it out. There are a fair amount of power supplies being reviewed today, such as the Silverstone Strider at Legion Hardware and Thermaltake Toughpower at Techniz.
