Yeah its a cool idea but better suited to applications not involving electronics. Having a magnetic field source that close to the cpu/gpu/ram/ssd etc. sounds risky. And what makes you think this couldnt leak? If not in the useful life then later in the landfil when the device gets crushed. Yes lots of electronics end up in landfils, not recycling, just like todays mercury filled CFL light bulbs do, even in California. If you generate less heat to start with your going to get longer battery life as well. And you can take advantage of another energy free cooling mechanism, airflow. Heated air rises, which draws in cooler air to replace it. With no toxic ferrofluids to worry about when a truck runs over your phone.
