magnetic cpu cooling?

Sounds more like convection is providing the "pump" effect, and the magnet is only there to keep the particles suspended in solution? Not enough info in the article.
 
Sounds cool. Also sounds kinda like the old propane powered refrigerators, causing fluid to move therough a combination of heat and gravity, or in this case, heat and magnetism.
 
Perpetuum Mobile?

Certainly sounds like it from that description - but unfortunately such descriptions often bear no relation to the finished product.

Things I was thinking about would be:
a) metal particles there just to add thermal mass to the fluid - what does the magnet do then?
b) Said magnet is actually a magnetohydrodynamic pump which will pump the particles and the fluid around - but needs a source of electricity.
