RE Lawsuits: The last thing I want is to have to deal with getting money for blown components from DDen... I'm rooting for them. I hope everything is taken care of without incident. My question was more academic in nature.
Even if they did disclaim liability, I doubt it would hold in court. The primary purpose for a waterblock is to cool your computer. When a company sells a WB, they imply that it won't leak, and ruin your computer. DDen states prominently that their blocks are pressure tested to 85 PSI, implying that they certainly would not leak under normal cooling conditions of only a few PSI. Bottom line: If DDen asserts that their blocks won't leak, and then disclaims any liability for product failure, they're still screwed.
