Liquid Metal Cooling in New ATI Video Card

Posted by timothy on from the not-that-that's-excessive-or-anything dept.

MellowTigger writes "Water cooling is so passe, definitely 20th-century. What's the 21st-century geek to do to keep his gaming video card cool? Try the liquid metal technology that will be included in the ATI Radeon X850 XT video card using the cooling technology from Sapphire. This material is reported to be non-flammable, non-toxic, environmentally safe... and 65 times more thermally conductive than water."

    Maybe I'm showing my age, but this really makes me think of Terminator 2, with the early CGI liquid metal cop doing all sorts of naughty things. Who knew? He could have been productively cooling computer parts instead of killing people.
