If I'm not mistaken, 2 big problems keep showing up with these
super-coolants.
One is condensation which is really bad bad bad for your motherboard/CPU.
The other (like with Peltier junction coolers) is that they often generate
as much heat as they dissipate. Besides adding an active cooler, you often
need to add even more case fans to get rid of the excess heat the Peltier
devices generates.
There's the nut who is working on total immersion of his system in oil, with
an air-conditioner coil submersed as well. This would solve the problem of
condensate, but there is concern that the mineral oil will break some of the
components on the board.
I like the idea, but instead of mineral oil, some inert water.
Unfortunately, that's not easy to come by :-) otherwise you could just dunk
the whole system into a refrigerated cooler of inert water and ramp up your
clock speeds further than otherwise possible. But for all that effort,
might as well spend more on a faster system.
