Before Im paranoid about water cooling, water and electrical hardware does not mix to me. But now I've heard and read about them non-electrical conductive cooling fluid for pc that is also almost having thermal conductivity that of a water. So it gives me a peace of mind and finally decided to water cool my system. Im deciding of the swiftech pump 3x120mm radiator huge reservoir running 1/2" tubing to cool down my cpu, n/b and two 7800GTX. So what the best non-electrical conductive cooling fluid there is out there? How much is it compare to water based cooling fluids and is it good?

Well, I've seen the THG video on it. Although it is very quite, but I'm ready to get some vegetable oit on my system yet. Besides have seen them how do they that stuff, it took forevery glue the cpu and sealing everything. I googled it and seen other are doing it using a fish tank. I think it is more complicated to do that than do the water cooling. :)

Unless you are going for a peltier setup, it seems like alot of extra cash and hassle for a couple of degrees difference. I'm cheap and lazy, though.

I'm not going to go all wiki, but here goes.
It's a thermoelectric chip that when you pass current through it, one side gets hot and the other cold (remember the McDLT?) . The cold side goes on your cpu and the water cooling cools down the hot side. They can get way below room temp. I think the Vapochills work on this or a similar idea. These boogers get so cold that you need to seal stuff to prevent condensation. Really cold, really expensive. I hope I'm not completely wrong, and that this helps.
