Danamics LM10 Liquid Metal Processor Cooler Now Yours for 280 Euro

malware · Nov 17, 2008

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.

The noise of aircooling with the power of watercooling for the price of phase-change?

Somehow I think this'll be little more than a bling-bling item.

Zehnsucht · Nov 17, 2008

Dude! When coolers starts stating specifications in these terms:

Gauss Rating: 13200 (~ 1.3 Tesla)
Approximate pulling force: 27 lbs (~12,25 kg)

we know where are in the future

Without the mess/danger of phase in an easy to apply package. Gives reviews!

will danamics help me with the ladies?

niko084 · Nov 17, 2008

Sounds really cool yet, but cost is way high, would be great for a Lanbox overclocker

jbunch07 · Nov 17, 2008

$500 huh?

Hmm it better be one hell of a cooler. I will wait for review!

Zehnsucht · Nov 17, 2008

Good news! nordichardware has been reviewing it. Will post soon

You gotta love them (well, us actually) swedes

InnocentCriminal · Nov 17, 2008

:O

If only it wasn't so expensive.

and it doesn't support 1366 socket? thats weird

It does. They'll give you a free 1366 bracket.

For me, mercury is a liquid metal and this stuff is highly toxic.

So what the heck is in this cooler btw?

No one really can confirm, Some have said a indium/gallium mixture that is liquid at room temperature and cheaper than mercury.

Would it even fit most of the cases it's 1,15cm taller than TRUE. Will be interesting to read the review, but this product went from hero to zero last week when I found about the price. (I was so looking forward to getting one, but even with half the price it should perform miracles).

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.

Octavean · Nov 17, 2008

For that kind of money I'd go with "Phasechange cooling".

mechtech · Nov 18, 2008

LOL wow moneys, hopefully it has a 1000yr warranty.

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:

phanbuey · Nov 18, 2008

These guys will drop the price if they dont want to go out of business... for $500 I can buy a custom LIANLI case with a watercooling system already installed. In fact, for $500 i can build a whole system for gaming... the opportunity cost is just too high... "HMMM I can drop my temps by 10C and overclock 300MHz higher... or i can buy a 4870X2... HMMMMMMM"

Mussels · Nov 18, 2008

it better perform real well, and really quiet.

WarEagleAU · Nov 18, 2008

Ugh, lower the price to around 100 to 180 USD and Id be so hooked to get one.

Without a fan I can't imagine it being loud, unless that magnet has an air raid siren in it or something.

phanbuey · Nov 18, 2008

you have to attach a fan to it.

EarlZ · Nov 18, 2008

Should we expect this thing to cool 15~25c better than the Ultra120 on load ?

Hayder_Master · Nov 18, 2008

any test , i want to compare

can you find where thats stated? everything i've read about this cooler, they were always talking about no fan being needed.

Liquid Metal type: Sodium Potassium* (NaK)

Still toxic though.

BinksLM10 · Nov 18, 2008

Okay. I cannot find a UK supplier that has these in stock.

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).
