Ok so I have an idea that is probably (likely) terrible but I can’t completely get rid of it.
The idea: Immersion cooling a PC the way they do in data centres using fluorinert but using IPA instead.
(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorinert)
Provided you keep the PC sealed and from building too much pressure. As well as away from sources of fire. I can imagine a PC that boils IPA and condenses it on a large heatsink on the top.
Please tell me why this is a bad idea.

Yeah it’s definitely a fire hazard, and just a health hazard in general. The pressure should self regulate, as it gets hotter it will increase pressure, which makes it easier to cool down. Would be in something metal that could take the pressure. And completely sealed so no air can get in all heat would have to conduct out.
You’re looking for mineral oil. Also IPA will probably turn any plastics on the mobo/GPU/cables/whatever to goo
Mineral oil is what i was planning to use, it’s issue is that’s it’s pretty viscous so would need to be moved around mechanically. Some plastics are ok with ipa (can use other solvents)
So when do you add the hops?
Continuously, with a 90 minute boil.
