I would like to know if it is possible to fill a water cooling loop with a liquid metal such as pure mercury or galinstan or Indalloy 117.

If its possible would there be any cooling performance differences over using water

Yes with copper pipes. But there are only few degrees difference, since liquid metal has very poor thermal capacity. So it is actually worse than water

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

If its on a block, its no different than any other build and is well documented on youtube with thousands of videos of it being done.
