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.

It has been a long wait. A year has passed since the first liquid metal cooler from Danamics, the first from any company really. LM-10 was a breakthrough in many ways, but foremost it was the first commercially available cooler using liquid metal. There have been several attempts in the past, but none actually reached the market. It's been used out in the industry for many years, but the cost and size of the equipment have limited retail options

Barely 18 months ago chip manufacturer Intel released the latest "Tock" in its "Tick Tock"-strategy. The changes it brought includes the today well-known Nehalem and Bloomfield architectures. With four cores and two threads per core most enthusiasts with the money to spend were satisfied with the performance offered. The CPU's were packaged for the 1366 socket, which means a fairly expensive solution with Intel's X58 chipset as the only alternative and three DDR3 channels. At launch the flagship was Core i7 965, today everything changes.

When it comes to notebooks you have to make a choice between battery time and performance. There are solutions for combining integrated graphics circuits with discrete GPUs, where the former is used during light work and the discrete chip is activated when needed.
