Non Conductive Liquid for Water Coolers

[RightHereBro]

Is there any liquid that is 100% safe for the internal components if it leaks?
Distilled water can be conductive so it is not safe.

distilled is not conductive when it is fresh, everything is conductive after awhile of use, distilled with silver is the best cooling and much cheaper and cleaning is much easier or not really needed for long periods

mineral oil would work, BUT it's probably too thick to pump with std pumps.

Can i use mineral oil in a AIO Water Cooler?
So ,the pure mineral oil is non conductive?

 

[13thmonkey]

but it is too thick, the pump is not designed for it

Use an air cooler, better than most AIO's anyway.

I want the AIO for aesthetic purposes.

well you have to accept the risk then.

It is not possible to have water cooler without the risk of damaging components due to leak?
Other Opinions?

No, water is used as it is very special amongst most liquids in that it can move massive amounts of heat energy, nothing else like it, except maybe molten salts, or mercury, which have their own problems. I suppose some flourocarbons might be non-conductive, but they have issues too and their heat capacity isn't great. You don't have a lot of choice, add this to the non maintainability of AIO's and therefore the lack of any proper means of draining and refilling them and you have a problem. You sound like you've never used water before, modifying an AIO is not a good place to start. Not the answer you wanted, but it's the answer.
