What to Do When Your Water Cooling Leaks Inside Your PC
A few weeks ago, my worst computer nightmare happened right before my eyes: my water cooling loop exploded, drenching the inside of my computer. Luckily, nothing broke. Here's how I salvaged all my parts (and how to keep this from happening to you).
We've talked about water cooling before, both in terms of pre-built units and custom loops that you build yourself, and everyone's first question is: isn't that dangerous? What happens if it leaks inside your PC? Well, I recently found out. In general, if you follow the instructions and do your job right, you should not have any problems. My leak occurred 100% because I am an idiot, didn't practice what I preached, and didn't secure my tubing. When I stress tested the PC, the tubing popped right off, spewing water all over the inside of my newly-upgraded computer like a loose firehose.
