Well, no wonder happened again: the mass production CoolIT Domino A.L.C. liquid-cooling system yields in cooling efficiency and acoustics to the best air cooler. Nevertheless, unlike all previously tested solutions, CoolIT Domino has a serious advantag...
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...

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...
