Use mercury!? are you nuts.
Yeaaahhh lets shove mercury cooling in everyones pc. If it leaks mercury vapour will mean that anyone near the thing first goes completely raving mad, followed by very very dead.
Theres a reason why they say "the metals are non-toxic" in the description.

Mercury has ben widely used in the past without scrambling your brain but I wouldnt risk it either ;)
QuoteHow it works is very simple, you have some liquid metal and some pipes and metal will actually circle the pipes using electromagnetic phenomenon and will be able to cool the card just fine. Some early testing showed that prototype cooled Radeon X850XT PE card to just 12 Celsius.

Typical Inq reporting there. Written by someone with absolutely no knowledge of the subject and quoting figures that are quite clearly lies (or at the very least completely irrelevant when considering the actual product).
12deg my arse.
