This one sounds interesting...

... nanoCoolers has developed a unique approach to cooling these high power heat sources. Cooling with liquid metals has been used for decades in the nuclear reactor industry, but never before have the systems been miniaturized and developed specifically for computer cooling. nanoCoolers has developed solutions to address the high heat source issues for portable computers, desktop computers, servers and other electronic applications. Within each of these categories are specialized situations that have additional needs, such as the elevated temperature requirements for ruggedized computers, or the overclocking requirements from gamers. nanoCoolers' advanced liquid metal cooling solutions address each of these concerns...

very interesting. I wonder what the liquid metal is, mercury? That's the only one I know of that is liquid at room temperatures.

I wish they had some performance/comparison statistics and information. it all sounds good, but where are the facts/testing?
 
The liquid is probably a Gallium-Indium alloy.

And I guess since it's a metal that they move it using some kind of linear motor as a pump! 😎
 
Nuclear plants with liquid metal used Sodium. It liquifies at a relatively low temperature, could be pumped/pushed with electromagnets, and pretty much couldn't boil, so it didn't need to be pressurized. I doubt this is using liquid sodium.
