For starters, I am aware that all copper is better and snazzier and all around awesome. However, i do not have (and do not have money for) a copper radiator such as i want. When i do, i will buy one. For now, it's aluminum, so please do not simply say "OMG buy copper!".
That said, what percentage of antifreeze do i need to use to prevent corrosion issues? Right now i'm running ~45%, which i'm sure is plenty but may be too much. I'd like to use less to improve the thermal properties of the coolant.
I have a ~25*c delta between coolant temp and core temp, which seems like rather of a lot. Coolant temp to room temp is ~4-5*c. I did a re-mount and it's still in that area. It is worth noting that it's a on e1200, almost certainly a CPU with TIM between core and lid rather then solder.
