And besides, I don't think cooling is necessary when a modern PC goes into sleep mode, whatever the cooling system type you're using. Everything turns off except parts of the motherboard which keep running in very basic mode with reduced voltage so RAM memory can store the session information for the time the computer is sleeping. This means the liquid cooler should not keep pumping cooler so no additional stress is put into it... so for the cooler there should be no difference during sleep mode as compared to when the computer is completely off.
