wanting to build a liquid cooled pc will this protect the components?

[joe600]

but im concerned about mishaps with water cooling units so this might seem like a stupid question but would liquidoff work on computer parts would it damage the components or would they be fine world they still be under warranty?

i originally wanted to stay away from water cooling just in case something happens but if liquidoff works the way im hoping i think i will do a liquid cooled system

Sure, maybe the motherboard components... but those are already quite protected.
It may protect the PCB, but that is already 5 layers thick and quite resilient.
The real danger? Moisture in the CPU and CPU socket. No spray is going to prevent water from entering open holes. Same thing goes for the GPU, you may protect surfaces - but they don't need much protecting. It is water getting into the die itself that is the real danger, and that isn't preventable with spray.

okay but how could i prevent damage if there would be a mishab with a water cooling unit?

You can't. You could use some kind of sealant in theory, but this causes thermal issues.
Really, the only thing you need to do is set it up the loop and run it for a couple days to check for any leaks or problems.
If no leaks occur, you build the PC and turn it on.

There is risk to it, for sure. It is the same reason you don't put a turbo on your daily driver. You can't afford to lose it when the engine blows.
Those who can afford it do because risk is subjective, if you can afford it, losing a motherboard and GPU isn't a big deal compared the the performance and style gained from water cooling. You need to seriously weigh that out. A custom loop is kind of like suping up a car, if you can't afford to lose the car it shouldn't be done.
