So the other day I had a crazy idea of putting a CPU liquid cooler on-to an air CPU cooler in the front of my computer to make the incoming air cold.  This would let my CPU radiator pull cold air and export it instead of bringing in already warm air.  I don't know if anyone lese has done this but I am considering trying it and seeing what happens.

i suggest taking a few lessons in physics, especially a few that include thermodynamics, air flow and heat transition between different medium's.

 

It virtually would be useless since you can't get the air much lower(1 degree at most) then room temperature, the difference of that single degree difference will fall within the margin of error with measurements so the effect will be near or complete 0 degree difference.

May the light have your back and your ISO low.

If I'm understanding correctly you want to prechill the air by using the liquid cooler with a CPU heatsink outside of the case and mounting the rad inside the intake of the case to try to get colder air...

 

Not sure if your serious but just no. Thermodynamics doesn't work that way, the coldest the air would ever be is room temp you need something like a sub zero system to make it colder than ambient, air cooling is only effective to the ambient temps not any colder.
