Sapphire is showing off a new Radeon X850XT cooling system that utilizes a form of liquid metal to move heat off of the video card. The liquid metal is reported to be Gallium.

Looks awesome! .. 2 of this in Crossfire can do wonders , but i think that will not be possible because all CF editions will be supplied by ATi only which will not going to use other than standard cooling ?

in anyway this & the MSI heatpipe cooling for the dual core 6800U are looking brilliant. i'd like to see them being sold/used in actual market esp with the next gen GPUs launch.

Yes, all of ATi cards will probably be using standard cooling... maybe sapphire will sell aftermarket coolers?

I'd really like to see some thermal benchmarks on how well this works.

I mean, I've seen some general thermal benchmarks on liquid metal cooling a couple of months ago... but I'd really be interested in seeing them on a commercially available product like a Video card. ;)

Yeah, I'd like to see some results but I definitely like the look of it.

The "metal" used is an eutectic alloy of indium, gallium and tin. Unlike mercury it's non toxic.

I wish I could find something similar for my CPU. A liquid metal cooling system would be something to brag with friends about. :D

Liquid metal? This has T1000 written all over it.

Perhaps those are the remains of the T1000 after Arnie finished it? :D
