Hot chips chilled with liquid metal

Piping hot processors could be cooled more efficiently and quietly using liquid metal instead of using fans to blow away the heat, says a Texan company which has developed such a system.
The central processing chips inside most desktop and server computers are cooled using heat-absorbing solid metal "sinks" and mechanical fans that generate continual air flow. But modern circuits can be so vastly complex that keeping them chilled is becoming increasingly noisy and power draining.
