When most people inexperienced with water cooling they are both amazed and frightened at the same time by the thought of water being in close proximity to their computers. We all know water conducts electricity quite easily, which is a constant fear that even hardcore water cooling users have. There is no question of what will happen if we spring a leak in our cooling loop, we know things will get fried. There are six major components to a water cooling setup, each just as important as the other. Also, each component can influence how well the computer component are cooled. The six major components needed are; a reservoir, water block (North bridge, South Bridge, CPU, GPU, MOSFETs fall in this category), pump, radiator, tubing/hosing, and finally, fluid.
