    When I get a mobo for my rig I would be interested in putting together a silent (my first) PC......Perhaps this little (haha) guy could be my corner piece hmm?

    If this works as advertized it would be great if they could move this to GPU's. With one for the CPU and GPU you could make a whisper quiet HTPC.

    To the guy who talked about strapping a fan to it I ask why? Not to mention the fact that I don't see any mounts for one the thing is meant to run without one. That was the point. 0 Db.

    I used to carry a hammer in my computer tool kit. Just for fixing the packard Bells though.......

    make it cool even better than it currently does and then you can OC the chip more. I was not talking about a loud fan but something like a 120mm fan that is around 8dB or less. that would be nice and quite and will cool more efficently...

    They could use fan wire clips to hook into the middle side of the fins like on the Thermalright Ultra-120.

    News:
    out of the Kingdom of Denmark comes Danamics with the LM10, the world's first commercially available liquid metal-based CPU heatsink. 

    I found an old article about liquid metal cooling on the internet, so apparently this isn't really all that new. Take a look at THIS.

    Lots of good info in that link. Thanks!

     

    It isn't new, and that is why that had to add "first commercially available" to their statement. hehe
