Sigh.
For any chemicals you might use that are well into their gas phase at atmospheric, near room-temperature conditions, the convective heat transfer properties will be quite similar. Equally terrible.
Nitrogen is as good as any other gas. If you're serious about using a decent heat transfer medium, dip the mobo in some sort of nonconductive noncorrosive low-viscosity liquid, which is what I think MadDogMe suggests. Expensive as all hell, but pretty goddamn l33t.
Otherwise, stick with your nitrogen thing.
