non conductive liquid?

is this for real, for water cooling

Of topic, but pure water itself does not conduct, but since I don't have a clue about cooling, I'll just shut up right........now.

distilled water, like lazicsavo said, is nonconductive. Find it at your local supermarket?

Distilled water isn't 100% pure. I bet it will still conduct electrcity.

I would take their bet and put my computer system, sans case in a vat of that stuff. Now that would be great cooling.

but blah, is my liquid no conductive?

I have very little knowledge of water cooling and how liquids affect computer components, but from my understanding a small water spill on components isn't that dangerous if

A) the component is turn off
B) You wait for the component to thoroughly dry

But I am not certain. This appears to be more for people who are looking for safety than anything else. I would wait for somebody else to comment on water cooling, cause I am no expert on it.

PS - Water is conductive enough to fry a computer component.

You're hard-drives wouldn't spin too well

Distilled water still conducts electricity, much less so than regular water though. Almost anything will still conduct some electricity.
It's basically just a backup security feature for water-cooling systems
