Liquid metal based CPU cooler

Danamics LM10 - liquid metal cooled heatpipes

There is an interesting new cooler for CPU's - Danamics LM10.

In a typical heatpipe design, a liquid turns to vapor from the heat given off by the processor, rises, and as the fins cool it, turns back into liquid, running back into the bottom, to be heated again... and so on.. thus transferring the heat away from the processor, and cooling it.

Danamics has gone a couple of steps further - namely they have turned to using a liquid metal, and they have incorporated an electromagnetic pump to move the liquid metal along.

Sounds quite interesting... only thing that puzzles me is that the press shot does not show any power leads, and an electromagnetic pump by definition needs some electricity to drive it.

Danamics claims their LM10 outperforms most water coolers!

I'm sure on the back of that it must have a plug or something.

Maybe it's battery powered!

At least based on the photo the unit seems to be in disadvantage compared to water cooling. Water cooling gets the heat out of the case while this cooler does not.

Wonder how much that would cost... Looks cool though.

Theres also no fan to remove the heat from the fins.
