More Coolent then water?

[BigCharb]

Hey, i ordered a bottle of Swiftech Green UV Reactive HydrX Coolant. it says to mix with 1L of water and use, but i was think if i used it all; wouldn't i get better cooling? i.e, heat conductivity. thanks

Not the most comprehensible post but I think what you are asking is, if you were to use the bottle of coolant with a smaller amount of water, would you get better temps? No you wouldn't. Water can carry more heat than the HydrX, the amount of dilution they recommend will work the best while maintaining it's UV reactivity.

Water can carry more heat than the HydrX.

So true. The coolant basically raises freezing and boiling temperatures. It also keeps algae and other contaminates from building up in the warm water. Same basic principles as automotive cooling.

Yeah, judging from that first post, I didn't want to overwhelm the OP with information and science. :lol:
