Cooling computer with car coolant

[babadoctor]

i want to watercool my computer with car coolant

to see if it is any better

will it be possible?

Sure, but not any real benefit over water. Only reason car coolant was made was because water freezes during the winter and evaporates quickly and that's no good when trying to cool your car. Originally people used to use water, but coolant was more convenient, that's all. You can still use water in your car BTW.

just use water. Antifreeze they put in car radiators is just that; to prevent freezing. it actually makes cooling performance worse.

actually certain cars can be damaged if you use water instead of a certain coolant due to corrosion

Ya there no real benefit it's made so it lowers the freezing point and brings up the boiling point so your car doesn't boil over
