Water or Antifreeze?

[AlucardHellsing]

I just bought an Aquarius II liquid cooling system and I'm wondering what would cool the best. Water or Antifreeze? I've even thought about using water with a little bit of rubbing alcohol added to it. I've never used a liquid cooling system before so I'm open to any suggestions.

Here is an article that may address your concerns. I also found some of the other articles on this site a "Good read" as I am new to water cooling.

distilled water with a small amount of additive (anti-freeze, water wetter, etc...) works great.
