So you're saying I can put a handful of 4090's out in the middle of snowy Michigan with a handful of OM4 cables snaking into my basement to run legit arctic cooling with no noise?

No part of Michigan is in the arctic, but sure, outside of mosquito season, that would work.

Might as well put your entire computer outside and use thunderbolt/usb-4 over fiber docks

Watercooling loop light be better, the radiator fins will still rust from condensation.

I mean yes, but you could also just place the entire computer out there as well

Better yet, keep it inside and save big on heating!

What you meant is you will have your GPU rig running passively cooled inside the pond tethered to your pier in your back yard
