Denmark's Danamics LM10 CPU cooler, the world's first commercially available liquid metal-based processor cooler, was reported today to have received a release date. The LM10 will land in Europe as of November 17th, but it will come in limited quantities. Outside of Europe, Danamics is still awaiting approval of its liquid metal-based technology, and after one is obtained the company can start selling.
Recently, Danamics engineers claimed to have developed a CPU cooler that will put to shame every air cooling solution available and most of the current water cooling kits. The LM10 has no moving parts and an unlimited mean time between failures. Inside is a yet-to-be-named liquid metal that's said to provide superior thermo physical properties and is circulated without moving parts thanks to a built-in electromagnetic pump. Expect more information next week.

Damn...I just bought a ZeroTherm BTF-90....AND that is not noise-less.....
sweet! I nearlly 4got about this. This might just change the way we all cool our CPUs. Can't wait to see it's performance VS TRUE, xigmatek, water etc.
Sounds interesting, can't wait to see the reviews. :)
wats teh projected weight

wats teh projected weight
OVER 9000!!!!
Really though, I hope this works out. Would be really cool to see a new type of cooler on the market.
Wonder if it could prove to be a health hazard?
sure is nice looking
wonder what the size of it is.
Anyone have any figures on how effective it is ?
by: CrAsHnBuRnXphow? :confused:

Yay! haha, we pwn at cooling here in denmark :D Asetek and now Danamics! :D Woohoo! Im so gonna see if i can get one of theese
by: CrAsHnBuRnXpI think that's exactly why it isn't approved in the US yet. I can't wait to see this thing in action.

by: oli_ramsayLiquid metals are generally very bad for people.
how? :confused:

The US doesn't care about health hazards lol. They care about what company will line their pockets. We have so many drugs and foods allowed here that are banned in Europe b/c they're downright dangerous or deadly. (and the US bans healthy food b/c the pharmas wouldn't be able to sell their pills)
If it's allowed in Europe, I'll take one, thank you very much :)
If it does actually have forced circulation, I can see this cooling very well.

Like the T1000, duh! I saw that dude splatter like 500 people on T2 :laugh:

by: spearman914I have no idea, I'm not a scientist, it's just something I remember from years ago in science class. Google it.

I think people are confusing liquid metal like mercury for liquid metal technology. Totally different!!!
i bet this will weigh less than a TRUE CU
we can atleast conclude something about the liquid metal: theres some sort of hazard, its magnetic, and can stay in liquid form under standard temperature.

I'm thinking mercury?
by: Woody112Now I'm curious. What is inside that thing? I was thinking mercury...

by: erockerHa I beat you to it! :p

its probably not an element like mercury guys.. its a compound that they are using.
Wanted when this was first in the news and want it now too! Where can I preorder :p (hope it's not some silly TRUE gol..copper price and I'm happy that Europe gets something first once)
