Default Alternatives to water as a coolant?

Hey all, I was just bored and started googling "heat transfer fluids" and got a ton of results, which made me curious, Are any of the synthetic industrial type fluids better for liquid cooling rather than water?? Of course, I realize that even if one of these fluids is better it would most likely cost way too much to warrent putting it into a PCs cooling loop, but it still makes you wonder if water is the best liguid for heat transfer then why do these companies offer up synthetics??
