i still don't know why anyone would risk using any water around electronics
Because it's perfectly safe, and major business's have been producing and selling the water cooling components for years.
You don't actually power a system up until you are 100% positive you have no leaks.
We leak test using an external power supply not your energized computers power, once the loop is confirmed, leak safe, the chances of a leak developing with today's water cooling hardware are slim to none.
I water cool for higher than normal 24/7 overclocks, simple as that.
That would be at least part of the reason the water cooling section is located in Overclocking, even though some water cool and do not even overclock, they just do it because they love it, and they can.
There is a certain mystique about it, but until you jump in the pool, you'll never understand.
