Squeezing the Sweet Bejesus Outta Me PC

I just remembered how I got windows to play a media file at a preset time; by using that useless add on called Microsoft Plus. It has has a doohicky that expands the abilitie of the Task scheduler or sumsuch like that.

Depends on your hardware bud, but alot of systems yes windows complains but I always turn it off for bench marks and overclocking.
Reduce it to the lowest point where by you can get windows to stop complaining. That is if you have fast ram and on a 32bit OS 4Gb installed.
I have to say though that with a Duel or Quad core it is not even an issue.

Quad cores have to be cooled, I am about to start playing with a liquid cooling system for a friends PC that currently has enough fans to be its own hovercraft. Are they reliable? I always have the worry they may leak.

Quads run at the same aprx., temps as duels for the most part. I have both and the Quad I currently have in use is an AMD Phenom11 x4 965c3. I have it overclocked from 3.4 to 4.0GHz on air. It runs at 34C at idel and around 53C at 100% in prime95. I do not by any means need to liquid cool it. However if I wanted to run the chip at a higher clock rate I would have to just like any other chip that has reached it's heat safty limits with air cooling. That said, yes there are some very safe liquid cooling solutions on the market and some get very involved to include N/B,S/B and GPU cooling along with the CPU cooling unit. There is even at least one liquid cooled power supply unit that I know of.

[. . . .]

So simple answer is; Some are very safe and some do take into consideration the chip sets.

I just get nervous with the idea of putting water inside a case full of electrical pieces and parts. But its not my PC so why not

No, short answer is the only reason you need to use liquid cooling is if you are going to get into extreme overclocking.
In the above case, nothing is safe when you are overclocking, any overclocker will tell you the same.
