"Blizzard delivers the future of gaming with the RADEON X850 XT PE's ability to push blistering framerates, while keeping your tool cool via an industry first advent, LIQUID METAL COOLING solution! Built upon a liquid metal technology that is 65X more thermally conductive than water and requires no moving parts, the Blizzard is equipped with the definitive long term cooling solution for today and tomorrow's demanding enthusiast."

That liquid metal stuff sounds awesome, imagine the performance increase if you implement that in a wc'ed system!

Will this be the end to watercooling and the nice looking blocks? I mean the new blocks will probably be alot smaller, no? O_o
Better start pondering about liquid metal block designs guys!
