Question high load temp?

Why is my load temp like 52c? is it because of ambient temps or what? idle is like 38...or could it be because the anti freeze i used? I told my dad to get some friggin zerex, but he used this shi**y off brand stuff and i think thats my problem..any ideas?

What is the ambient temp there, if you made the solution too thick it wont help, I have high load temps but thats expected with 40C weather.

Ya.. you only need a SMALL amount of antifreeze.
The antifreeze doesnt have much to do with the cooling its just to keep it clean.
