The CoolIT Domino ALC CPU cooler is an excellent self-contained liquid cooling system for the CPUs. While a temperature of 58C is not the lowest temperature I've observed, it was also taken on a system running one of the hotter CPUs on the market, the ...

CoolIT have done an incredible job with their Domino A.L.C. all-in-one CPU water cooler. It offers excellent performance that can rival the best air cooling has to offer. Even on the "silent" fan setting it keeps the CPU comfortably cool offering lower...
Abstract: We can see that CoolIT Domino fares well with stock frequencies, but gets a little overwhelmed when we come to overclocking. It is no surprise as this is a cooler that shares a price with some of the more expensive air coolers, and cost two or th...
The CoolIT Domino A.L.C. definitely exceeded my expectations. Even more shocking is the performance vs. the price tag. With an MSRP of only $79.99, it’s cheaper than some high end air coolers! Even at its lowest speed it beats out one of the best ai...
Abstract: February 11, 2009 By Peter Jozefowicz After youve worked your way through the very best CPU air cooling solutions, and still require additional power, the next step is liquid cooling. This may sound easy, but many users are scared away by the complexity of putting together a serious water-cooling setup. The component list is quite hefty, including water pumps, cooling blocks, hoses, and radiators. This is where CoolIT comes into play, as the company has designed all-in-one boxed solutions that allow water-cooling to be quickly and easily inst...
Totally contained, dropin system, Easy to install, Incredibly low price
No provisions for upgrades or adding waterblocks
Admittedly, its pretty unlikely that a watercooling purist will be impressed by the CoolIT Domino A.L.C. or its performance. Most would find any number of complaints about the system. But for an inexpensive drop-in watercooling system, the Domino A.L...
Great cooling performance, Integrated unit that comes pre, assembled/tested, Quiet operations at low fan speeds , Compact unit, Easy to install (pay attention to the tubing routing)
May not work in all cases, A little loud at high fan speeds
The folks at CoolIT have done it again. The CoolIT Domino ALC CPU cooler is an impressive cooler that deliver top-of-the-line performance in a compact package that is very quiet at low speeds. I continue to shake my head in disbelief when I look how lo...
Since the target market segment for the Domino A.L.C. is your mainstream/budget user, take these tests results for what they are, an assessment of the actual performance of the unit at stock and highly overclocked results. After seeing the results bel...
Easy to install, Competitive pricing, Compatible with latest CPU releases, Build quality, Ease of use,
Have to remove side panel for adjustments, Smallish tubing is rigid, Fan gets very loud on high speeds.
Once the whipping boy of the cooling world, all-in-one water-cooling solutions are starting to become a very viable and affordable solution. CoolIT has really done their homework with this latest release and it shows in the performance. Having it come...
The CoolIT Domino ALC makes for a good, though not great, all-around product.On the noise front, the Domino ALC is about average. At medium it is quiet but definitely audible, and at low is it is almost inaudible. At high, though, it runs at a solid 3...
