Phase change cooling is one of the best cooling systems out there... if you want stuff to really be cold. As far as I know the only stronger cooling is liquid nitrogen cooling, and phase change cooling can cool your pc to below zero temperatures.(Celsius ofc.) So much that undercooling can become a bigger issue.
However it is fuarrrking expensive.
But it is possible to DiY. You just have to cannibalize some parts from old horizontal(or normal) freezers.
Here's a guide:

I admit that I won't do this myself since I use laptops almost exclusively, but here's a good DiY idea for anyone who is interested.

fuarrrkin neato.

aren't frigidators like real loud or something?

Are you asking a question because you haven't seen a fridge in a while or because your fridge is loud?
Because in both situations you need help

s/phase change/refrigerant based cooling.
your best bet is to convert a mini fridge to do this...ostensibly you're looking at one of two things:
1. cool the chip, which is hard
2. cool the enclosure, which is easy.
getting a PC that lives in a mini fridge might be difficult as you'd have to worry about condensation. even the most frost free units generate a chubb of ice at the back almost monthly.
my suggestion: mineral oil cooled rig (maximum surface area) with dedicated pump to circulate warm oil into the refrigerator, and cold oil back into the tank

Just dump a lot of silica gel on it and make sure the whole enclosure is sealed.

you know nothing on the topic, here is what you got wrong:
>mini fridges have small compressors that have no power to cool down a processor down let alone GPU with it
>cooling the chip alone is not hard, simply route the condenser onto it or even put condenser in liquid cooling tank
>condensation can be avoided by: using dielectric grease and putty on critical areas; putting active coal pills or tablets + air tight the case + close to vacuum pressure (but not needed when you can just super cool the liquid cooling with "mini fridge")
>mineral oil gets soykaf filled with dust and gunk (unless you are putting it in air tight case, which if you are then why aren't you doing what I said above?), becomes carcinogenic after long uses in high temps and is just a rehash of what I said with using phase changer on liquid cooling rig, not to mention the horrible thermal conductivity properties of mineral oil
did you even look at the link of OPs post or did you post "your" idea from what you saw on youtube of what some scrawny fast talking idiot said to bedazzle his dumb fanbase?
See? Even >>484 put more thought into his post than you did.
