ok so you know when you hold the compressed air cans upside down they shoot out super cold liquid, would it be possible to have a system where you can hold a button down and it causes a can to spray the radiator core of a watercooled setup for use before or after an extreme benchmark or something.. kind of like intercooler misting in the car world..

what do you think anyone?
 
I'm pretty sure the only thing you would get is a piece of really cold radiator and frozen water that might even clog up...but if you were to do it for a long time and spread it out it seems like it could work..
 
This works with an intercooler in a car because the air has a much lower heat capacity than water. There is also a larger temperature difference between the hot and cool air than between your lukewarm coolant and cool air. In a watercooling loop, the small amount of evaporating water is going to make very little difference, if any at all, in coolant temperature.
