If you don't need the temperature protection below ZERO.... I would go as low as 10% antifreeze (the green stuff) and 90% deionized water with the water whetter and a anti-corrosive additive. Antifreeze is mostly to prevent corrosion and lower the freezing point of the water... it is a real poor heat transfer medium.

I went to that solution due to over temp probelms, and now have a "too cool" issue here in the Left Coast Zone. Dropped my temps by 25 degrees F.
