For the record... Water is chemically the best cooling agent available. The reason that liquid metal is used in nuclear reactors is that it's much easier to contain in a closed environment than water because it has a MUCH higher boiling point. For those of you that are concerned about the electroconductivity of your coolant, I suggest mineral oil. Mineral oil is cheap, cools well and above all not electroconductive.
Unless, of course, your CPU is generating heats at nuclear levels, then i guess liquid sodium might be the only route.
