Ok. Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but here goes. I have an idea to make a liquid cooling system for my GPU, but the same would be applicable for my CPU. It is fairly simple and also cheap. Prices and requirements as follows.
1/2-in x 100-ft Polyethylene Polyethylene Tubing: $24.96
ATP Surethane Polyurethane Plastic Tubing, Red, 1/16" ID x 1/8" OD, 100 feet Length: $9.28
Aleene's Rapid Dry Mixed-Media Adhesive: $9.19
Silicone II 2.8 oz. Clear Kitchen and Bath Caulk $3.98 (for tube conversion as there are no 1/16th converters)
Small custom bracket using https://www.onlinemetals.com/ whatever metal you would prefer. preferably something thin and pliable that you can easily drill bend and mold to your needs.
We have a couple options after this.
Liquid Nitrogen (really Removed expensive, but cold as.... well Liquid Nitrogen) with a boiling point of (−195.79 °C (77 K; −320 °F)) and a freezing point of 63 K (−210 °C; −346 °F) were talkin a frigid GPU/CPU that would be incapable of overheating. Could clock to 50k MGHz and still be freezing (if such things were possible). a container of liquid Nitrogen costs $300 and $5 per Liter up to 10 Liters.
Pumps are.... well look for yourself. https://dir.indiamart.com/impcat/liquid-nitrogen-pump.html
your looking at a really expensive cooling system at this point, but Removed me if it wont keep your things well cooled. Metal Cracking cold.
Now for some realistic options which follow through with homemade and cheap.
VicTsing Upgraded 80 GPH (300L/H, 4W) Submersible Water Pump, 48 Hours Dry Burning Water Pump with 5.9ft $9.99
Now through this pump.
Water in a small bowl or fish tank filled with ICE (this is a circulating system, what goes in comes back again) $7.14 cheap fish bowl. plus costs for running freezer making new ice all the time. Also requires constant supervision and maintenance to ensure all the ice hasn't melted. (could also opt for a mini freezer to keep things frosty.
Vodka. yes Vodka. at a freezing temp of -30C and -22C this a great option for Frigid cooling. Pack this with Ice, put it in a container filled with ICE, put that container in a minifreezer $115.00 and you have yourself a perfect cooling system that will never freeze your pipes. Taaka Vodka $10.99 1.75l
Vehicle coolant also works. $7.98 Super Tech. (boring)
Then there is this conventional cooling pump.
Yosoo 12V DC Low Noise Water pump&pump tank SC-300T for pc CPU Liquid Cooling System $22.04
designed to be used with
Thermaltake Pacific DIY 1000cc Liquid Cooling System Coolant CL-W021-OS00BU-A Blue $15.99
Although nothing wrong with using the above mentioned liquids.
So our cheapest total would be about $70.00+tax using our ice filled water bowl coolant system.
Now for the setup.
Detach GPU or CPU heatsink
we want to pull off our fan cooling system.
Next we want to glue our 1/16" tubing into a coil like this http://www.chicagopipebending.com/images/bends/9flatspiral.gif only no gaps and the spiral meets in the middle and exits through the top.
Now we want to attach our tubes using the caulk 1/2' to 1/16'
Next we want to make our bracket to the required size. This bracket should hold the tube coil in place over the processor using the existing screw holes and screws. So plan accordingly. Also as a bonus this bracket should have a hole big enough for the center exit tube to go through and be held in place.
Final step is to set up the water pump and coolant.
You now have a liquid cooled computer.
Don't even bother trying this unless you have advanced computer knowledge and good problem solving skills. Any damge to your computer is not my responsibility. This is ONLY THEORY.
In the next couple of weeks I will be making a video and a Jpeg tutorial of me making this actual system and using it. Until then. This is ONly theory.
Give me thoughts or concerns/ hatred and contempt.
