Well, you could potentially kill the CPU or your motherboard, blow up your house from the PSU blowing up, or get sucked into the space-time continuum.

 

Maybe not the last two.

Unless you are a total nub who thinks it's ok to shove a fork in a wall socket, you have to try really hard to destroy something. :P

That reminds me of that one time a customer came into the IT repair place I use to work at telling me his computer stopped working after he installed water cooling.

I though he had a leak or something but noooo he put water on his heatsink and mobo.... He had no idea what water cooling is...

Like watching Anime? Consider joining the unofficial LTT Anime Club Heaven Society~ ^.^
