When it comes to cooling and thermal paste, Arctic Silver 5 has long been the de facto standard for enthusiasts. As of late though, there have been a few newcomers to the market that are challenging the king and some of them seem to be able to match AS5's performance and even best it by a degree or two. Gelid GC-1 (also reviewed by OCC here) is one such contender. Speaking of cooling, what about cooling your hard drive? Check out the Scythe and Titan HDD cooler review below and see how well they perform when paired with a 10,000rpm Raptor drive. That gives us a perfect segue into the sneak peak at an OCZ solid state drive versus the latest WD VelociRaptor.
