Is that a problem? I seriously lookin to try it but im not aware of the potential problems that might occur. Does anyone with a water cooling system had any problems? thanks.

I've never had any internal condensation at all.
However I do have a very good airflow through the case, and i keep the ambient temperature down as well.

Water cooling alone cannot reduce the temp of the air enough for condensation to form. The air temp has to be a lot cooler for that. And even then, if you have good air flow through your PC, it shouldn't be a problem.

Unless you spring a leak!

The drier the air, the lower the air temp for condensation to form. It's called the "dew point". We had dew point meters at my old job, they were used to test drier packages (drier packages were connected to the outlet of compressors, when air is compressed, water forms) for industry. The dew point is the temp at which moisture forms. A good drier package could have a dew point of minus 60 degrees Celcius.

Sorry to have bored you with useless info, I just get carried away sometimes!
