The LM10 is a liquid metal based CPU cooler that combines liquid metal with an electromagnetic pump. It is claimed to be the world’s best performing air-cooler and have cooling capabilities that exceed those of most water-cooling systems.

I have been reading about this at all the tech sites, and to me for the moment it sounds almost too good to be true. I have my fingers crossed, and am hoping it is working.

Most sites say they expect a review piece in the next month so we will know for sure.

Even after the initial reviews, I would want MTFF tests to be conducted before I sink any money into one.

I'm curious as to the price. It looks all well and good but I have a feeling it may be cost prohibitive.

However, wow, that sounds like it has the potential to be really great.

Goodness. I just finished reading an article on this cooler at MPC: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/new...sed_cpu_cooler

Nice to know I'm not the only one.

I would love to see actual performance figures for this heatsink and a possible price.

I read about something similar a while back. I wonder if it uses the same technology. Pretty expensive metals...

I'm guessing it probably is the same "liquid metal".

Going off of that notion, how does it compare to liquid nitrogen?
