I ended up going for some battery water with Zerex Super Cooling coolant. Works a treat!

Destilled water is most common. With normal water having contaminants it could clog up the system, making your cooling system less effective, so its better to use destilled water.
Secondly additives are availble, like anti-corrosion liquid. Also there is additives that can lower the freezing point of the liquid, making it a beter collant.
And yes sticking your motherboard in cooking oil will keep it cool, its not an attractive method to cool your system, and I would be a little concerned about the fire hazzard of using cooking oil to cool ellectrical components.
Stay kool!

they are all good but it all depends on the cooling system and what the parts are made of. some "require" that you use coolant, (or a coolant\water mix) but if i had a choice i would ditch water cooling because of the emormous pain in the @$$ that they create.
hope this helps

If you have a water-cooled anything then fill it with water.
Distilled water and de-ionised water are effectively the same. They're clean and without contaminants.
What do you mean by coolant? Anything that "cools" is a "coolant", there's nothing special of that name.

Hi. I use PC Ice, a non-conductive fluid. Really happy with it, but it's pricey. http://www.xoxide.com/primoice-nonconductive-fluid-uvblue.html

de-ionized water is the best as that is impossible to absorb any electric charge and so cannot hold or pass on any electric charge.
