£170 for a CPU cooler - bargain!

Any chance you'll get one of these in to test, Hexus? Despite having just splurged on an H50 (installing this eve ) it'd be interesting to know how it performs.. also I suppose something like this needs good case ventilation, whereas the H50 isn't perhaps so demanding..

You'd need a seriously expensive CPU to justify that, and even then I don't think it would give you that much more performance.

I think this is one of those products that is expensive today because of the technology but will be soon copied by other manufactures because of the great idea and the price will tumble.

Fair play to Danamics for producing something this innovative - shame for the price very few units will sell.. Come on Thermaltake / Corsair, copy the concept and produce cheap ones.

The technology does indicate the probability of better performance than water considering it is using liquid metal to dissipate the heat.

The price I would say is for the development of a magnetic motor moving the liquid metal around. Damn tricky to make considering the magnetic sensitive equipment it is mounted on top of and near.

You also are paying for a highly efficient cooling system, much like you paid a premium for water cooling which only recently has become more affordable.

For the next year or 2 my TRUE is more than capable of performing the cooling I need but I look forward to a cheaper and more efficient Liquid Metal cooler for my next purchase. The ability for good performance when passive is what really interests me, current water cooling is too annoying to configure and can be noisy(anything above 15db is audible in my room) so something 100% silent would be awesome when leaving my PC on overnight doing folding.

Liquid Metel = Treminator Cooler. Won't mind one to try out in my rig. Intresting concept hope it works.

Does pretty well.

even better - found pretty Oc performance on clunk.org.uk and there is a second review I found today -also very good performance when it comes to OC

I think if your looking for good overclocking, and have that much to spend, go for a phase change cooler, hard to find pre built, but for that much
