shicx1 Posted April 14, 2006 The only liquid metal I know of is mercury, which I've heard is not too safe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thraxz Posted April 14, 2006 Barium, Gallium... I think gallium Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkangelism Posted April 14, 2006 there is a company called liquid metal that does computer technology, they trade on the nasdaq under lqmt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
red930 Posted April 14, 2006 Barium, Gallium... I think gallium Not at room temperature, needs around 86F to melt. Francium would be around room temperature...close anyways. It probably a combination of metals, NaK (sodium potassium) is one...except it can ignite spontaneously. I'm sending the company an email (and doing some research) because I'm curious about this stuff. I think there was another thing like this awhile back though... Edit: Yeah, somebody tried this awhile back and got a couple degrees cooler. I'll probably throw some on my main rig this summer when I tear here down and clean her up. Anybody tell those guys heatspreaders are made of aluminum? Or maybe its just a tin alloy of some sort... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thraxz Posted April 14, 2006 It's probably mercury, silver, tin and copper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
