Extreme Radiator Cooling

Does anyone ever try this before. Use Ice, Dry Ice, or Liquid Nitrogen and cool down the radiator for like a Corsair 100i GTX or any of the PC Radiator. I know it sound redundant for how a radiator is already have liquid inside, but I want to know what happen when you try to cool it down on the outside. A guy name of Awsomesauce Network had made AIO Ice Bath Challenge! Does it Work? . This is only Ice and water, but my idea is the radiator being dip in Ice alone, Dry Ice Alone, and Liquid Nitrogen. What would happen to the PC if those 3 extreme cold thing were to dip with the radiator?

The coolant would freeze. Leading to increased CPU temps, and overheating.

you'd get lower temps until your pc dies from the condensation that formed on your block/tubing due to the water temperature being lower than the dew point in the room.  It works though, I've done it before but never for a long time and I watched my temps very carefully.

You're probably going to crack the radiator from thermal stress, freeze whatever liquid is inside of it, and/or have condensation out the ass on your tubing and components.

 

I did submerged radiator for a year.  Heat exchangers are a better way of doing the same thing.  Happy googling!
