Default Re: How safe is watercooling currently?

Strangely, for all the improvements in performance, I haven't seen a lot of progress in reliability.

-Pressure testing of water blocks, as part of QA (Quality Assurance)

-advice to use hose clamps, even though they're not immediately required.

-Overheating from a failing cooling solution is now covered by built-in thermal protections.

That's about it.

We could start another thread (heck poll) on the topic of "what is curently the most likely point of failure of a water cooled system?"
