Hardware Roundup: Thursday Edition

Nemo - March 11, 2010 06:54AM in Affiliate News

We have a couple of different CPU coolers in the roundup today. First there's the Thermaltake SpinQ VT (also reviewed by OCC here) which is an update to the original SpinQ cooler and uses a circular array of fins in a vertical tower design. Next is another vertical tower cooler, the Zalman CNPS10X Performa. So how is this one different? Well, it's different for Zalman as it is known for its horizontal circular fin design coolers and the CNPS10X Performa follows in the footsteps of the CNPS10x Extreme in using a more conventional tower design. Don't forget to check out our separate Intel Core i7 980X edition roundup to find out all about Intel's new Gulftown six-core processor.
