I doubt it. I also think there is enough sugar in it to gum up your loop.

Gatorade is corrosive - I would not do it at all.

It's better than water for humans because it has electrolytes. Not for watercooling comps.

There was a site that did a test with a bunch of random materials, including beer, but I don't think they used gatorade. In any event, it would corrode and get sticky gunk all over your loop.

gatorade is not a good idea.. this reminds me of a bad idea which involved a pound of granular ammonium nitrate and the water already in the system. I will admit it got cold, cold enough to freeze up and completely destroy the pump. Along with having a pound of explosive oxidizer floating around in my (then) 2000 dollar machine.

Heh...
"Water sucks, it really really sucks, it sucks it sucks it sucks it sucks!..." Sorry, was the first thing I thought of when you said "Heard its better than water." Its also got sugar in it...something I'd rather keep out of my loop (unless pure glucose). "Gaaaaaaatorade!" "Water!" "Gaaaaaaaaaatorade!"
