Can I connect the PSU to my computer without frying anything?

I guess if they came from the powersupply they should be fine. I don't think there is a danger of frying the computer, just a danger that the mains voltage might end up on one of the watercooling parts. It might not fry the computer but it could kill you. The original heatsinks are supposed to be contained within the power supply, within a metal shield. The power supply was not designed with the possibility that someone could touch the heatsink, either directly or through a watercooling setup.
Are you sure the bolts keeping the mosfets on the heatsink are insulated as well ?
