This will probably make you say wtf but I'm a total noob to water cooling. So my question is : Is it possible to use a higher heat capacity fluid instead of distilled water like 50/50 Coolant for cars? :p
 
Water is the best coolant...anti-freeze will not help dissipate heat, it will do just the opposite.
 
for a strictly copper/brass based loop - distilled water + some biocide

Click to expand...

The only nonmetal fluid with a higher heat capacity than water, is Ammonia. 50/50 coolant is meant to boil off at a higher temperature, but in turn, it holds about 30% less heat than pure water.
