Liquid Metal CPU Cooling
IceFoot writes "Bored with water cooling? Try a liquid metal cooler. It's a proven technology, used in nuclear reactors for decades because it carries heat away much better than a heat sink, heat pipe, or water cooling."

Are they *really* saying that a CPU is going to pump enough heat to maintain a molten state inside the cooling device?
Ever used a P4 for rendering?
Ads for nerds, stuff that pays.
Schrodinger's cat is either dead or really pissed off...
...what happens when our heatsink tries to kill John Connor?
G1:So.. how do you cool your machine? I use water cooling.
G2:Ha!! I use alcohol based cooling so that if I get a leak I do not get a short in the system
G3:your both losers.. I use Liquid Sodium.

Put all your Terminator 2 jokes here, please.

Try synthetic turf. It's a proven technology, used for years because its rugged construction is so hard to distinguish from real grass roots.
Don't go smacking your computer the next time you get pissed off, or it's likely to morph itself into a sword and stab you through the head.
Bored with water cooling?
Bite your tongue! How in the world could anyone ever get bored with cooling CPUs with water? I've thrown dozens of water-cooled-CPU-themed parties in the last several years and my guests have never wanted for excitement!
Once there was this time at one of the parties that this one CPU got up to 68 degrees celcius. Way too hot! We put a custom water cooler job on that guy and got it down to 45 degrees celcius in no time. Good times.
How could you ever be bored!?
I'm a big tall mofo.
Yes, graphite, that well known metal...
I hope you don't ever use polystyrene, after that Shuttle crash showed how dangerous it can be.

"-1 Troll" is the apparently the same as "-1 I disagree with you."
Actually, sticking small nuclear reactors in PCs might be a good idea. You could add a meltdown to that "edge-of-seat" experience whilst playing your favourite online game.
Losing player on Doom3 deathmatch loses his life?
What about those Nuclear Silos on Red Alert 2? Boom goes the nuke? And your house goes with it. You should have got those harriers to take care of it earlier.
I mean, if ever there is a leak, all you need to clean it up is a bit of Water!...

They use liquid sodium metal in nuclear reactors. you do NOT want this in your computer.
Maybe YOU don't want liquid sodium metal in your computer. I think it would be beyond cool, especially when the unit reaches end-of-life and it's disposal time.
Stressed? Me? Of course not. Stress is what a rubber band feels before it breaks, silly.
Sure, just wait for tomorrow's dupe.
You may be, and you are. Good grief, I mean, have you seen any complex solutions to the pencil-lead-liquifying-at-room-temperature problem? No? There's a reason for that.
They use liquid sodium metal...
;-)
I'll just have to take this idea with a grain of salt
I think they're using a metallic form of chocolate. Where's the graphite guy when you need him?
Now look what you've done. The moment you added your Cl, the idea pool went sterile.
Congratulations.

While common or "garden" mercury is quite familiar to element watchers, a far more rewarding sight is the rare "mercury of paradise." Element watchers are dying in droves to see this incredible manifestation of mercury.
Best of luck trying to get rid of the heat. Remember, convection won't work, only radiation.
/. readers here. Oh well, you know what they say, "it's not what you know, it's who you know".
Silly, convection couldn't work because there is no real "up" in space. You know? Heat rises? I therefore propose the use of fans. Imagine how fast the fans could spin in the vacume of space!!! They would be much more effective "up there" than down here with all this inefficient "atmosphere" crap. The fans could also redundantly double for propulsion when needed.
Why has NASA not thought of these things? NASA really ought to be hiring real geniuses like many of the other gifted
War crimes, torture, lies, illegal spying... Would someone give Bush a blowjob, already, so he can be impeached?
Happy Fun Ball anyone?
Wait, you want to replace mercury with a metal that reacts violently with oxygen and water vapor in an explosion and which reacts with water vapor to form the strongest base known.
;)
Yes! That way when the MPAA shows up for those MP3's I've been downloading I can hit "The Big Red Button" and *poof*--no more computer.
There's no place like
Don't judge it by that Terminator film.
