Liquid Metal CPU 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?
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.
"-1 Troll" is the apparently the same as "-1 I disagree with you."
I mean, if ever there is a leak, all you need to clean it up is a bit of Water!...
Aggies
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.
Put all your Terminator 2 jokes here, please.
Can't think of any at the moment... but I'll be back!
There is nothing more practical than a good abstract theory.
I think they're using a metallic form of chocolate. Where's the graphite guy when you need him?
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?
Don't judge it by that Terminator film.
