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."

    Liquid metal always reminds me of T1000's from Terminator 2.

    Perhaps this is just the start... what if all these liquid metal coolers all joined together in an uprising against human kind? Sapphire Technology would have a hell of a lot to answer for!
