It's non-toxic.... can drink?

Once upon a time, water cooling was really hardcore stuff. But today, you need some of these...

These coolant fluids are normally consist of uh... something to do with glycol. If I'm not mistaken.

Non-toxic? Made of organic materials perhaps? Or non-irritating to the skin?

Those are anti-freeze.

This is another type of non-conductive liquid which has very wide 'operating' temperature suitable for any type of cooling I can think of...maybe not for liquid nitrogen...

now, to a serious overclocker, is that a problem?

Mercury cannot be used as a submersive liquid because of the lack of resistivity...
