    New Budget Computer

    Ill take it all apart and try to start it up without the case. And yes the CPU power cord is plugged in. But would that make any sense if it worked with the other PSU in the EXACT same setup? And no difference with it out of the case on wood.

    Which liquid is good and efficient for Cooling?

    I dont know if theres anything better than water but liquid nitrogen wont work. It will most likely blow open a seal or something as it heats up and expands. Unless your room is colder than liquid nitrogen then it might work.
