More liquid metal to the god of liquid metals!

I'm planning to build a system with a 9900 in it. To cool that succer i need some beefy cooling solution, so I start to research what can i do in tiny case like 202. I stumbled across of a substance called NaK, it's used to cool nuclear reactors and you can pump it just using magnets and electricity. Its pretty nasty stuff and it can catch flames just out of water in air. So it got me thinking what if i'll use conductonaut instead of a water in liquid cooling system? That would be interesting experiment to make, but it would be very expensive. May be someone have done something like this?

I tried getting our University to get a grant for that

We then realsied, if you turned the system off, that it would harden up.

Wouldn't work because Radiators are either made from Aluminum (horrible reaction with gallium) or Copper which will corrode everything very quickly, but i would still love to see something like this ran temporarily, but i guess the pump will suffer too so you would need a stronger one

from wiki:

density of 866 kg/m3 at 21 °C (70 °F) and 855 kg/m3 at 100 °C (212 °F),

 

you wouldnt want to use these un uniform expansion liquid especially you need to isolate it with O2

conductonaut is a liquid at room temperature.

I believe you can make custom loop out of stainless steel. Also you don't need a pump.

You can make it out of anything, but nobody does that's the issue

 

talking about manufacturing a steel radiator

isnt it more simple to use solid state metal as beefy cooler?

eg cast iron, Al and mold into any shape you like

idk but using liquid metal as a heat carrier would be way cooler )

you can chemically coat interior of a radiator with silver.

you are talking about heat capacity for cooling

Either :

High heat capacity (water) and being pushed around OR

Low boiling point, easily vaporized (whatever substance in heatpipes, extreme low pressure alcohol?)

maybe, no one has found a way to do it yet. it's not practical in any real usage. if someone was able to get it to work it would likely be "look it works" then immediately dismantle it and putting normal cooling fluid back in.

first of all i need to find a way to make liquid metal myself, i'm not ready to spent an absolute fortune on a conductonaut.
