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!

Another problem with water cooling is the condensation. If your CPU temp is more than 5 degree's below ambiant you will develop condensation(if your insulation is poor).



This is not a problem with normal water cooling because the water will always be abmient temp. You only run into this problem if you add ice to the water or are cooling with a pelt or if you are running a freon system.


Ducthkid if you are not looking to overclock your system than you probably do not need to watercool your system. Buy yourself a good fan instead of the piece o' crap oem ones. If your case is over heating cut a blow hole. Eitherway you are going to save your self alot of time and money using fans instead of water.

In my water cooling rig i use a little bit of car antifreeze (propylene glycol) to prevent rust in the heater core but that is it. if the system is sealed and the water is moving you shouldnt get organic growth.
