Liquid metal based CPU cooler! Supposedly going to outperform liquid cooling kits!

Looks interesting...

That didn't read as a review. It read as an advertisement.
And I'm wary of too much em radiation/waves/interference around my 'puter. I mean em affects electricity right? How much stray em (like from that electromag pump thingy for instance) would it take to turn a stable overclock into an unstable nightmare? Would you know if that was messing you up?
If What I think is right:
this =FAIL

| Uh ok. So you're implying that this will induce a crapload of EM and somehow cause instability? hahahahahahah
Ok then...

Why am I wrong? I know I don't know too much but...
Aren't electrical circuits susceptible to em or are they different orders of magnitude? If i'm wrong let me know, I don't need to build, upgrade, or just tweak under wrongheaded impressions. I just have noticed recently that getting a spare fan too close to my graphics card started causing similar effects to when I use to put a good speaker near my old 20" tv. Seems logical 2 me.

I was thinkin' you were gonna need a powerful pump to move liquid metal. I'm not sure, but pump=motor so I'm thinking powerful pump=powerful motor. Maybe, maybe not.
There is a limitation on how far away you can place the pump from the puter it's cooling. Are the em emissions weak enuff to dissipate over that distance. Oh, b4 that, does em harm circuits or interfere with their operation.

| Well, Many OCers use watercooling to cool their high OCs. A popular pump to use is the Eheim 1050, which is an electromag pump. The pump uses an electromagnet to spin the impeller that is driving the water through the system. Personally my pump is directly under my harddrives, and if there was going to be any problem with EM radiation that would be the worst place to put it. Soooo, basically I'd say no worries, and I will definitely be getting one of these when it comes out.

I thought of this concept years ago, so it is cool to see someone do it. I wish I could afford such a thing.
BTW: My liquid metal thermal compound works great EXCEPT: it does dry out somehow and if I push on the heatsink (which I can't help but do when trying to remove the RAM sticks) it seems like I lose the "bond" and then have to redo the compound. I am due right now in fact...
I wonder what the heck "drys out" liquid metal anyways?
