However you could pump oil through the psu and cool it using a radiator. that has been done before with good results.
Note: you may need to seal some of the components against oil penetration - capacitors in particular don't react well the being submerged in oil for prolonged periods.

How do I protect the capacitors? Do they heat up and are the heatsinks in the PSU the only source of heat?
Could I submerge lika a small 300L/h pump into the PSU enclosure in the oil, so it would push the oil through the heatsinks into a tube, into a radiator and then back into the PSU?
Is such a small pump powerfull enough to push the oil?
