Liquid metal cooling for Sapphire's latest graphics

Just when we thought we'd seen everything, Sapphire has just announced that its latest Blizzard Radeon 850XT and 850XT PE will be cooled using 'liquid metal'. Whatever this is, it's obviously not something that lets them dispense with fans - as you can see there are still two of them on the card.Y0560sp_blizzard_1

According to Sapphire's press release, this magical metal is '65 times more thermally conductive than water and requires no moving parts' and is also 'non-toxic, non-flammable, and completely environmentally safe'. That's a relief, then.
