Hardware Roundup for Feb. 10

PC Apex takes a look at a new thermal compound, but can it really beat AS5? Apparently it can! They were so impressed, that it received a perfect score. If you are looking for a new S939 motherboard but are on a budget, then check out Hi-Tech Reviews for the review of the DFI Ultra Infinity. It proves to be a feature rich board, but for under $100! A tool that every reviewer and enthusiast should have in their pocket is an infrared thermometer. Think Computers is taking a look at one that resembles a laser pointer, and works extremely well. I may have to pick one up myself..
