Abstract: Corsair launched its H50 high performance CPU cooling almost a year ago, but the real reason why we’re talking about it today is the recently announced CoolIT ECO A.L.C. cooler. Now that the ECO A.L.C. is here, Corsair H50 has finally gotten a strong c...
CoolIT ECO A.L.C. is an appealing product to those in the market for a high-end CPU cooler. It’s priced at about €70-80, which means it’s priced similarly to the large air coolers despite the fact that ECO A.L.C. is a water cooling system. One of the a...

"Real" water cooling enthusiasts— those who build their own systems from components, choosing the pumps, reserviors, and radiators separately and sneer at tubing smaller than 1/2" internal diameter— will dismiss the A.L.C. It's unimpressive looking wh...

The CoolIT ECO ALC is something that I think most users will appreciate, in that it's very simple to install, inexpensive and it has decent performance. The idea of liquid cooling was, at one time, something that was considered a way to cool your CPU ...
Given how impressed we were with the CoolIT Domino when it first launched, I have to admit that I was a little skeptical that the ECO would be able to impress me in a similar fashion, leaving me expecting a bit of a "seen it all before" shrug of resig...

I have had the opportunity to test three Asetek designed liquid coolers, the Corsair H50, the NorthQ Siberian Tiger and now the CoolIT ECO A.L.C. Despite how you may feel about liquid cooling "kits" or pre-assembled systems, I have found all three to...
Abstract: The CoolIT ECO A.L.C. is a nice product, but similarly priced alternatives, such as the Corsair H50, perform somewhat better. Still, we would recommend the ECO to anyone interested in giving liquid-cooling a shot.
