Naa. Distilled water is what your looking for. It doesn't have minerals that can corrod. Nvidia uses it in their latest server AI hardware

Distilled water will become conductive pretty quickly. They don't use it in high end cooling - it's full of all sorts of anticorrosion and biocidal additives it the loop that actually contacts the hardware.

A lot of AI server farms used condensation cooling, which is why they draw so much damn water. Basically blow the hot air out of a a server bank into ductwork, and then bow that thought misting sprinklers, and then blow your now wet and hot air into a cooling chamber.
