I don't care what the box says, if it's water-based, it will short your shit out. Once water comes in contact with metal, ions form. Pure water will not short it out; pure water poured into a radiator will.
Oiled based will not short, but oil doesn't move heat anywhere close to how water does.
I'll add that if you are overclocking, air cooling, no matter what you buy, will not compare to water cooling. Can you get by with air? Yes, with a loud system. With water you can spread the heat over a large surface area and keep the volume down while keeping the overall cfm up.
