Raising the temperature of the coolant above 100 degrees C is a bit worrying. I think my car tries to run its coolant at 85C

I think antifreeze changes the coolant temperature boiling point up to 135 C but you will have to make sure you put enough antifreeze in the car, the wrong ratio will give you lower temperature of boiling.
I do like robertsmalls idea of changing the working fluid to alcohol or some lower boiling point fluid
