Iv'e had my time with mineral oil. I wouldn't necessarily say its "too" viscous at those temps. It does however, entirely depend on how you plan to use it.
I did this tidbit a while back.

Did a full mineral oil submersion. Then radiated the bath to Wisconsin winter ambient temps. So you can imagine i hit well blow normal ambient. I would strive to say close to the temps you are looking at. I have a screenshot hitting 0C. From what i understand the cpu temp cant read below this. I also want to mention i never had any other issues considering my MB was also chilled down to this temp. I did however OC my AMD-8350 to around 5.2Ghz at the time. Many people said the full submersion was the main reason for this.
Anyways, i used a standard 1700 lph fish-tank pump, flowed it through a radiator outside my house with at least 3' of head. Worked beautifully.
