I am strongly considering a watercooling setup, but I have some serious reservations.

Primarily, I'm concerned that if for some reason my watercooling equipment is not running, for some failure or any other reason, I won't be able to run the system. Thus, my computer will be hostage to the watercooling setup.

BUT, what if a HSF is mounted to the waterblock? Assuming flat surfaces and a good bond, as with Arctic Silver, it seems that this would be a good backup. I realize that the waterblock is hollow, but if filled with water should conduct reasonably well.

What do you think?
