Did anyone else get that weird, deja vu feeling?

Now most mobo mounting holes have a soldered edge, which is typically connected to the GND on the mobo. You mount a WB with metal screws, chances are you already ground the waterblock anyway. Rads often are mounted in a way that makes conductive contact with the case (through metal screws) so that one is taken care of too. Same with a metal res.

This does not deal with corrosion of course, so you still need an additive in your coolant to protect against that.
