My Computer

Default Coolant Mix

Draining my system Thursday in prep for a new Swiftech Radiator. I run 100% anti-freeze which turns out is not so good, cooling wise. It would explain the hight temps. So im gonna use new coolant. I know ill be using Distilled water but i wanna know what additive i should use and how much. If i can get it in a store, that would be incredible since i dont have the time to wait for shipping and im not paying for 2 day for a 6 dollar item. So, any solutions or ideas are great. And please no redline, ive heard nothing but bad stuff about that. Thanks in advance Guys!!
