Danamics LM10 Liquid Metal Processor Cooler Now Yours for 280 Euro
Exactly as promised, Danamics today announced the limited availability of what's claimed to be the first cooler to use liquid metal based technology to cool processors. The Danamics LM10 has generated much excitement since its first appearance, but the limited availability and the enormous price are going to kill the interest in such a product, at least that's what I think. European sites are now offering the LM10 here and here for the astonishing 280 Euro. Danamics also sells what they call a PowerBooster, an optional device that enhances the LM10's performance by providing its electromagnetic pump with more power, for around 128 Euro. Let's assume you want to buy the LM10, you'd need roughly 400 Euro or ~$510 for one of those. In return you'll receive a high-quality air cooler filled up with liquid metal and equipped with an electromagnetic pump that has no moving parts. The cooler is compatible with all Intel LGA 775, AMD AM2/AM2+ and AMD 939/754 sockets. I'm looking forward for a review of the Danamics LM10, it has to be one of a kind cooler to cost so much.

Somehow I think this'll be little more than a bling-bling item.
Hmm it better be one hell of a cooler. I will wait for review!

You gotta love them (well, us actually) swedes ;)
If only it wasn't so expensive.
:(
So what the heck is in this cooler btw?
edit: it's really powered like this? looks rather weird home made solution.
edit2:
Pump power draw: With Return Power: <1 Watt
24-pin return power wire
8-pin return power wire
So it draws X amount of power and returns Y amount back to the system, so that it only draws under 1W. I'd rather have just an molex adapter and take the X amount, that cable won't look pretty next to the terminator cooler.
Hmmmm I have -20C cooling free for 6 months, I just have to put my tower out the back door, the joys of living in northern ontario :rockout:
Although I will wait for review before buying.
Also it would be common sense that it would still need a fan to move air away from the heatsink/fins or very good case airflow.
Though it should only require a very quite/slow fan, like the Noctua 120 mm 800 rpm (8 decibels).
Its basically a ULTRA 120 with an elecromagnetic pump attached to the heatpipes (and metal flowing through it).
