This week, graphics hardware company Sapphire, anounced a revolutionary new change in Graphic Card cooling. Dubbed Blizzard, these new graphics cards are liquid metal cooled. The metal, which is non-toxic and none flammable, is 65 times more thermally conductive than water. The cards will require no refilling and no user intevention. They only take up one additional PC slot and because they use an electromagnetic pump, have no moving parts, consume much less power and are virtually silent. With 16 parallel pixel piplines, 256mb GDDR3 memory and a PCI express interface they will satisfy even the most hardcore gamers. The first commercially avaible versions are due to ship in July.
