Hey how would you hook liquid nitrogen or liquid heilium to a cpu even if you used a phase change coolor how would you hook that up? Also, where would you buy these elements in their liquid state?
 
Check out the stickys at the top of this section to see how all the frozen fun stuff goes down.

As far as purchasing, dry ice comes from the grocery store, liquid nitrogen can be found at welding shops and medical gas suppliers.
 
liquid helium is expensive and hard to get a hold of. Just to get liquid nitrogen you need to own a very expensive dewar to transport it. Why don't you google up some info on LN2 cooling and phase cooling so you can have some idea about what's going on. Liquid nitrogen is used with special copper cpu pots for overclocking sessions. It's not something you can just super cool you **** with all day like phase change. If you really want to experiment with it, first, read a **** ton, then buy a cheap pot, learn to insulate, and get some dry ice. It's super cheap, available everywhere, and very cold.
 
Yeah, no offence but by the sounds of it the only advice i would give you now is read, read and read some more.
