[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ Watercooling

I need lots of info about this, mostly, how dangerous is it for your system. Does it often leak? Is there a way to keep it from leaking, or to keep it from short out the Mobo?

I need a more powerfull cooling unit, and I've been leaning towards watercooling for a long time...just haven't been brave enough to take the step.

Also, what are good brands?

Thanks!

I have had my comp watercooled for over a year now. Distilled water is non conductive as is mineral oil, however when the oil or water gets "dirty", ie. there are extra ions from dirt, dust, disolved metals, then they will conduct. there is nothing really you can do about that, just make sure you have everything properly sealed and if you do have a leak wait for it to dry completely before booting your computer.

Water is prefered as it carries heat better and faster and it is easier to pump than oil. Stick with the water it is cheaper and easier to work with.

Are you planning on going completely homemade or are you going to buy a kit?

Also, what kind of comp are you running and howmuch do you plan to overclock it?
