CoolIT Domino A.L.C CPU Cooler Review | ||

| Q6600 Performance Testing Q6600 Performance Testing   When the heat is really on, this cooler begins to shine. At our max “safe long term OC” of 3.4GHz the Domino comes very close to matching the best air coolers out there, and if this unit had been released before the HDT units, it would have been considered better than air. Considering this price point of this entry level all in one water cooling device, this is certainly impressive. As a side note, the performance numbers were once again hindered by its slower ramp up, but once again this lower intial performance is balanced by a very minor noise envelope. As time went by we became more and more impressed with this medium setting as it allowed the Domino to be extremely quiet for the majority of time and even as water temperatures rose (and thus fan RPMs) it still was quiet enough to result in an enjoyable experience in an open bench environment. The same cannot be said of the Asetek whose pump noise was extremely perceptible this time around. Low noise, good numbers and an LCD readout….what more could you ask for besides 6 Peltier cooler units, and double thick rad?         | ||
