The idea behind self-contained CPU water coolers is a great concept that allows for extra cooling performance and overclocking abilities for those who do not want to have to deal with the installation of a complex water cooling system. The installatio...
There are a lot of choices on the market today to cool your CPU, which range from all-in-one kits to modular kits, but by far the Domino from CoolIT is one of the best we have seen. Also the price is a point that only smaller noisier kits come close t...
Abstract: Video Review: The CoolIT Domino Advanced Liquid Cooling CPU Cooler performs extremely well, easy to install and is affordable. As a matter of fact it's around the same price as a really good air cooler but performs better. This sealed liquid cooling system comes completely configured with the liquid coolant preinstalled. So theres no need for any extra installation like many other liquid cooling kits. By combining the waterblock, pump, radiator and reservoir together, CoolIt has simplified the traditional four-component loop into just one-component. There is also an LCD showing the fan speed, pump speed and temperature. If your're thinking about liquid/water cooling but afraid of the traditional setup because of possible leaks, this is the product for you! This is the best closed loop liquid CPU coolers I've reviewed to date. Watch the video to find out more...
this is without a doubt the easiest to use water cooling setup on the market. This is the perfect setup for going to lanpartys, you won’t have to worry at all about having it leak from the abuse of transportation. Priced less than some of the high e...
The CoolIT Domino A.L.C. is with out a doubt the easiest water cooling kit I have ever worked with. The fact that you can pick up the Domino for around the same price you would pay for a high end air cooled heatsink is simply amazing. The Domino is ...

The CoolIT Systems Domino A.L.C. CPU cooler is quite an interesting concept. I like that more and more companies are designing compact, sealed units for the enthusiast. This makes it much more affordable for those who want to get into liquid cooling w...
