But the temps are around the same. It's all about color preference really. Oh and price. Cosworth isn't cheap, but you get a decent sized bottle.

i do know that the Cosworth coolant is exactly that. Its not anti-freeze. So it doesn't contain any propylene glycol, which is thicker than water and doesn't transfer heat as well as straight water. So anti-freeze "coolant" used in every day automobiles isn't ideal for a computer water cooling system.
Unless your using a chiller, anti-freeze is of little use.

If you really dilute the anti-freeze, it works fine. You only really want to prevent corrosion.

On a side note, Mastacator: Once that Cosworth has been in your system for about a month, keep your nose back when you open your res. Oh man that stuff gets a stink to it.

True, you don't need much anti-freeze. Not like one would fill the loop with it!!

Gets the stink huh?! Nice!! Have to watch out for that then.
Does all additives get stinky with age? except anti-freeze probably.

They ALL do, including anti-freeze. IMO Water Wetter is the worst though.

Here, this is what I got coming:

http://www.xoxide.com/blueuvdye.html
http://www.xoxide.com/cathode.html

Maybe anybody with experience with either of these can chime in.
I have thier green dye and the same uv setup. It glows pretty good but I think some of my uv cathodes are on the way out. When they go too much I'm gonna get some uv LED's, they're brighter . The dye is excelent tho and it took about 20 drops or so but that was still maybe less than a tenth of the bottle, I don't see running out anytime in the foreseeable future.
