Hello experts , i wana build over kill PC and overclock it ofc,
But i dont know anything about liquid cooling and what liquid is used .
i want to use the best non conductive cooling liquid
in cause in the future a leek happened i wouldn't want to lose and burn my mother board gpu etc..

And also if there is a new way of cooling pc like freon gas?


I dont care about the cost of the cooling system i just want to be 100% safe even if a leek happens
i would pay $$$$ for the best cooling setup so i hope you guys share your ways with me

One of the risks of water cooling is that it could leak. 99% it won't. But it's that paranoia that it could leak. And if that will bother you then water cooling isn't for you. Or you should get an AIO. (it's a water cooler but like all together already) You use distilled water with the anti microbe stuff. You could buy some kind of nanofluid if you want to but that stuff is like 99% distilled water anyway.

tbh the liquid you use doesn't effect it that much. Regular distilled water with a few drops of the anti-microbe liquid is all you need. And you'll be able to overclock it good.

distilled water or deionized water? Cus both are different. also adding that anti microbe would make it conductive?
What about the UV dyes? would it make it conductive aswell?

and lets say a leek happened would all my sutff get burned?

most coolants (concentrate or pre mixed) including distilled water have very low electrical conductivity to begin with.
unfortunately, since the fluid is in contact with metals (pump, fitting, blocks etc) it becomes more conductive over time.
the consensus is that replacing liquid once in 12-24 months is a good practice.

As a side note, there is no need for liquid cooling to overclock anything. there is also no such thing as 100% safe. Liquid cooling is more of a hobby.
To build effective loop to keep the system both cool and quiet requires some knowledge and experience.
