Danamics to Launch its Liquid Metal LM10 Processor Cooler in November

Heh, that's before I've joined (although I did read here before writing). Has taken them quite a while to get first product ready, hope it performs good and sells well.

metals can be molten in mercury, i'll have to look up wiki to find out how this exactly works

EDIT: i got beaten to it... it's not Hg

we can atleast conclude something about the liquid metal: theres some sort of hazard, its magnetic, and can stay in liquid form under standard temperature.

Its prolly mercury so unless you crack it open and find it a good idea to drink a silver liquid that moves on its own then you deserve what happens.

Thermalright will probably make something similar ... then one that is copper and weighs more than pluto and charge twice the price of the moon.

Look everyone this crap is simple.

The metals being used is gallium and indium, mixing the two gives the metals a low melting point of 10-15c as gallium has a melting point of like 30c alone. Having metal as liquid means you don't need an actual pump. Magnetic politary can be used to move the liquid through the system. Thats it nothing else to it.
MERCURY IS NOT BEING USED IN THIS COOLER!!!!:shadedshu SO PLEASE STOP BRINGING UP MERCURY!!!
OK I'm done

How do you know it isn't mercury, Anyway it says it puts water to shame so it must be about 10 - 15 degrees wouldn't it solidify but then again it would heat up then cool down.

Gallium and indium have been used for a very long time in nuclear reactors. As technology advanced other uses were found and as [IRA] FBI pointed out it started to find its way into the computer world to aid in cooling. Then I showed the thread earlier that it was actually used on a GFX card to cool but was never put into production in 2005, which was probably due to cost back then.
Mercury is not the only liquid based metal out their, just the most widely know liquid based metal.

Everyone suggest mercury because its one of the only two elements that are liquid at room temperature e.g 24 degrees.

So Gallium is $500 for 1kg, wonder how many coolers they can make of it. It's a bit heavier than copper so that doesn't help to get more. This might be very expensive after all

5 pipes, if it's 10 grams of the stuff in one of them, it's already $25 minimum.

"The current price for 1 gram gallium of 99.9999% purity seems to be at about US $15.00." Hope they don't have to use this stuff

"As recently as October 2000, the spot price of gallium was $550/kg; by March 2001 this had risen to $2000/kg, and exceeded $4000/kg in May." In 2001 they found some big gallium concentration, might have helpt with the development: http://compoundsemiconductor.net/cws/article/magazine/11632

I guess it also has better thermal conductivity compared to mercury.

Wonder if it could prove to be a health hazard?

Installing it might :0

aye if you eat it that is or when the power is still on :laugh:

Oh and I've got a feeling this will be far more expensive than any available air coolers but just cheaper than a good water cooling setup.

DrPepper, afaik you dont need to drink mercury for it to be fatal for you, it just needs to touch your skin and your *bleep*'d.
I could be wrong, but that was how hazardous it would be. Although I believe it won't contain mercury, and that itd be gallium with maybe ferrofluid or somthing.

I've never touched mercury so idk I assumed it would be fatal if you drank it though.

Just did a quick search and came up with this, as I was curious too.

hmm *note to self ... don't play with mercury* Anyway its cheaper to make it out of gallium/indium because they are cheaper, mercury is about $600 a flask.

Kreij · Oct 31, 2008

I'll wait for the reviews. Comments like "It will put to shame..." always throw up red flags in my book.

Electro magnetic pump - hmmm - very interesting. Mercury is diamagnetic....

Diamagnetism is the property of an object which causes it to create a magnetic field in opposition of an externally applied magnetic field, thus causing a repulsive effect
