CORRECT! Water + electronics don’t mix..

Yes folks, criminal sin committed and power supply went bang in a cloud of smoke郎
Being a clever dick I drained cpu water loop and only partially disconnected it to allow access for the re- deliding, during that process I noticed a few drops of fluid on the base of the case,, wiped it up and thought no more about it not knowing/realising it had also dripped onto the psu,*
So obviously when I powered it up today, I could here “ somethings not right here” sound of sizzling, I could have left the Barbi on but no! It went bang, tripped all the power to the house in the process.
Now looking for another psu ( was thinking about getting a higher watt anyway) .?wonder if they do a submersible one lol. * *

just got to find a glass tank to put rig in, lol

It's good stuff. You can immerse a whole PC into it - including PSU (usually) - excluding barometrically-sealed HDDs, fans, anything which works off motors and induction/magnets, radio antennae, stuff like USB ports and floppy drives. It "instantly" evaporates, leaves no stain or discoloration or residue, is non-reactive and non-corrosive and non-flammable and non-smelly, it doesn't degrade, it doesn't damage solid-state components at all (although, like water, it will gradually dissolve immersed inks and adhesives off cheap stickers). It's even non-toxic and fully biodegradable (or so they claim, but it can't be all that enviro-green-hippy-happy since it also inhibits algea and bacteria growth, lol) ... it's like a drinkable magical dielectrical pixie dust! It can be expensive and hard to procure, though.

Watercooling is fine...it's irrigation that causes problems...:p
