Cooling off your computer’s processor provides plenty of benefits, namely extending the chip’s life and, for the enthusiast, a bit of extra headroom before a processor overheats during yet another overclocking session. Years ago, most people struggled with massive air-cooled heatsinks but, increasingly, water cooling is entering as a solid cooling alternative that is nearly free of the fear of liquids mingling near expensive electronics.

CoolIT Systems specializes in creating pre-assembled water cooling kits. The company’s Domino A.L.C. is an entry level kit designed to cool off your system’s processor and represents an interesting and inexpensive introduction into the water cooling world. We’ll be taking a look at the cooler and what it can do for your PC.

It used to be that liquid cooling your computer’s processor was a complicated, if daunting, and expensive process. Choosing the right components and making it all work together isn’t what most people would call a good time so CoolIT has come up with their Domino A.l.C watercooling kit. techPowerUp has the details:

The radiator is the main part of the Domino A.L.C. The front side of the radiator, which will be seen through any case with a side panel window, features an LCD display. This LCD has a blue backlight and text is coloured black. Moving to the inside of the radiator, you will be able to see the pump, tubing and the section which the 120mm fan blows air through. Also on the side of the cooler is “CoolIT Systems” inscribed within the plastic as well as the barcode of the product.

On the side of the radiator is a small plastic switch. This switch is firm and a click is heard when it is pressed. The switch does one of two things when the unit has been powered up. It either changes the fan speed of the fan (when pressed down) or changes the temperature scale from Celsius to Fahrenheit (when held down for more than three seconds). As in the sticker on the unit, there are three different fan modes. When the button is pressed, the LCD provides feedback on what mode you are on and the speaker beeps accordingly.

A nice kit for the price and it can perform just as well, if not better, than the top air coolers.
