Others who like to custom-build their own PCs prefer to use liquid coolers that draw heat away from the processor.
Then, there are those who completely submerge their computer in mineral oil.
It sounds like insanity because it is, indeed, insane. But submerging a computer in mineral oil won't actually break any of your computer parts or short out any of the electricals because mineral oil doesn't conduct electricity like water or most other liquids do.
It's pretty rare to find mineral oil-cooled PCs, but Linus Sebastian of the LinusTechTips YouTube channel posted detailed videos of how he and a colleague built their own mineral oil-cooled PC.
