Your rig has a cold intake right? That probably helped you out.

It appears that the water to antifreeze ratio can also have an affect on heat transfer. That's because water is a better conductor of heat, but be warned that there is some disagreement if running pure water can lead to it boiling and becoming steam. The antifreeze raises the boiling point of the water, but the system is pressurized so it should make it more difficult for water to turn into steam.

But the long term fix is upgrading radiator and fan. This is probably a good idea anyway because it appears that these heat waves will happen more often.
