PowerBooster

The electromagnetic pump in the cooler requires power in order to circulate the liquid. For powering the pump, Danamics offers the PowerBooster, which converts power from the systems power supply to the electromagnetic pump. The PowerBooster is prepared for mounting in a 3.5 inch disk drivebay, however the unit requires two drivebay slots due to its height.

Weight 600g
Power connection Standard IDE-hard drive connector
Power input 12V DC ±1V
Current output 30A ±2A
Operating temperature range 0°C to 45°C


Then pass the pictures of this bead.

The details of the package is something fantastic, it seems that we buy a new car









Detailed manual and assembly instructions for all Sockets





One of the details of which I liked most were the clips fit the fans that unlike other coolers such as Noctua Prolimatech and are horrible with that wire, the fans in Danamics glide smoothly across the cooler and then trapped in place by a small yellow clips easy placement and removal

And here's the part that makes the miracles happen, responsible for movement within the Liquid Metal Cooler.






That's right folks the Cooler looks great is not it?
But it's still bigger than it looks
Look in there beside the MegaShadow





I was truly in love with this boy, and performances such as go to see are amazing.
Come to testing then:







The tests were made in previously filed coolers and frequencies:

3300 Stock
3900 1.3Vcore
4500 1.4Vcore
4750 1.4Vcore








Concl:
As you can see we have a cooler to a size of another level.
Temperatures excellent ability to meet Mhz's spectacular.
Ok Ok, the price, yes and carotid, but the quality is paid and nothing else.
The Top of the Tops in Air temperatures have walked right by the temperatures of water and note that the water system is a system of top 480 with radiator, pump, high performance and a very good block.
Here is an excellent alternative to the WaterCooling.
A thank you will Danamics and Nissen and availability throughout.

Nice review and very good results for the cooler. Do you know if this model is better than the new Danamincs LMX Superleggera?

[XVirus]

i was told by the danamacis guy that the performance was the same...

[masska]

its good to see them getting it right this time around.
Thanks for the review

[Helloworld_98]

have you tried using it passively yet?

I read a review on it running passive and it could cool an i7

[Mescalamba]

Its still air cooler, running it passive is not good idea, unless you run stock fq and volts.. (Megashadow can cool that, tested.. but you need bit of airflow in case, so its not 100% passive).

It work as pump, cooling loop and radiator in one nice package.. Would be interesting to see that with 2000 RPM high pressure fans.

Is it possible to mount thicker fans on that?

[Helloworld_98]

Is it possible to mount thicker fans on that?

well in my link they run 4000rpm Delta's on it so I'd say yes, although they're only 1C better than 2000rpm SilenX

[halfwaythere]

Less than a couple of degrees better than a Megashadow but three times more expensive? How can you recommend that? Not to mention the Noctua NH-D14 will walk all over this for half the price.

I mean its alright to be thankful for getting one sample but its no cool to over-praise the thing.

[AAbenson]

thanks for posting the review,was hoping to see one here at the forums.

about the cooler my couple of points:
- too expensive
- only a couple degrees better than a good high end cooler such as the MS/Vx
- i dont get the message why it should be covered in plastic entirely
- has an additional part(lm pump)which needs additional care(cabling,electricity,can stop working at some point eventually)
- sounds so cool Liquid Metal like in the Terminator,pure SF

[zalbard]

Just as good as VX, which is pretty impressive!

Nonestly we did not tested it passivly, cause the review was to compare with other coolers in the market, and, none of them has the LMS that Danamics has, so it would be impossible to do so
