Posted November 29, 2019 I would like to know if it is possible to fill a water cooling loop with a liquid metal such as pure mercury or galinstan or Indalloy 117. If its possible would there be any cooling performance differences over using water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 29, 2019 Yes with copper pipes. But there are only few degrees difference, since liquid metal has very poor thermal capacity. So it is actually worse than water QUOTE ME FOR ANSWER.

Posted November 9, 2022 lol , i was Looking to see if someone has used liquid Metal for water loops ( on block) and found that ppl are Asking if They should put it in , instead of Water .. lol .. i think this Would Get inside the Rad ,, and Mess it all up ( since the Rad is all aluminum ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
