Danamics LM10 Liquid Metal Cooler selling for 280EUR

Some European webshops are listing the new Danamics LM10 Liquid Metal Cooler, this is the first processor cooler that uses liquid metal. Danamics claims their LM10 is world's best air cooler, stating it exceeds the performance of most watercoolers. Sounds impressive but I'd wait for the first reviews before you buy one as this cooler costs a whopping 280EUR. The LM10 looks a lot like a big air cooler, but instead of regular heatpipes it has five big heatpipes with the toxic Sodium Potassium and a pump on top of it to circulate this liquid metal. The liquid metal cooling system generates no noise, but you'll still need to attach a fan to the heatsink.

Here's a look at the features:

Ultimate performance
Danamics LM10 is the world’s best performing air-cooler. By utilizing the unique properties of liquid metal, the cooler has the lowest thermal resistance of any air-cooler in the market. The cooling capabilities exceeds most watercoolers in a single device.

Easy mounting
Compared to competing solutions, the Danamics LM10 is a true all-in-one product. There are no external housings, large reservoirs or bulky radiators. With liquid metal cooling you have true performance in a compact, self-contained unit. This makes mounting a breeze and the Danamics LM10 cooler can be mounted in minutes.

No moving parts
The superior liquid metal brings another advantage besides its efficiency. The properties of liquid metal make the use of an electromagnetic pump possible. Danamics’ patent pending multi-string pump delivers high flow combined with a very low power-draw of less than 1W.

No noise and no vibration
Compared to watercooling pumps, the electromagnetic pump used in Danamics LM10 cooler has numerous benefits. It is hermetically sealed and has no moving parts, which means that no noise or vibration is added to the system from the electromagnetic pump. Also the pump is orientation independent, which ensures maximum flexibility for users and system integrators.

Innovative technology
Danamics LM10 is built from the ground up using innovative technology. The combination of liquid metal and an electromagnetic pump is all new in commercial cooling devices, bringing true high-tech to your desktop

And here are the specifications. The cooler is pretty massive by the way, it measures 135mm x 172mm x 69mm (L x H x D) and weighs 900g without a fan. The liquid metal is Sodium Potassium and the pump draws less than one Watt.
