Today we bring you the world exclusive review of the liquid metal cooler LM10 from Danish cooling company Danamics ApS. Danamics was founded in 2005 with the goal of using liquid metal for cooling. Since then Danamics has been researching and developing new technologies that would enable them to do just that. Amongst others, they had to find a suitable metal, but most of all come up with a whole new electromagnetic pump.
The main advantages of Danamics' liquid metal concept are that it creates no noise, no vibrations, has no wear and tear, and no mechanical parts that will deteriorate over time and break. As mentioned above, Danamics needed to come up with a whole new pump because regular industry electromagnetic pumps require very high currents, several hundred amperes, which would cause some major disturbances if installed inside a PC.
Danamics has designed a multi-string pump that requires as little as 5A to create pump activity while only consuming as little power as an overall of 1W, which is less than what your average case fan consumes. It is all very impressive, but what it all really comes down to is what kind of performance the LM10 cooler can deliver. The price is higher than your average high-end CPU air cooler and about the same as a water cooling kit.
First we will look over the cooling basics and the technology behind the cooler.
