Liquid Cooling Cool it makes a $79 water cooler

Radiator, pump and all in one block

CoolIT finally released a water cooler that can beat any air cooler with performance and price. CoolIT just showed us its Domino ALC cooler that has a water block attached to a radiator and a pump that can remove around 200W. Some time ago we reviewed a similar product, Asetek's Low Cost Liquid Cooler, but CoolIT's unit ships with a nice LED display and alarm system.

The LED shows you CPU temperature, fan speed of the radiator fan and pump rpm. In the tested rig the CPU runs at 83 Fahrenheit, and fan speed was 1410 RPM, while pump rotated 30006 times a minute. The system was quiet, although we have to note that we were in a rather noisy environment, but we expect one in our lab shortly.

One on the most shocking things was the retail us price of $79 for the whole kit, where you get the radiator with CoolIt developed fan, the pump and the water block all factory sealed. You will get mounting mechanism for Core i7 socket 1366, Core 2 socket 775 CPUs and socket AM2. The only thing you won’t get is the back plate for AM2, as this usually comes with the motherboard and in case you don’t get it you can order it from Coolit and they will send one to you.

Just for comparison, the highest end Zalman cooler named ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler also costs $79, but at press time, you'll get away with a slight discount and pay $66.

We can definitely say that the new era of computer coolers has begun, especially with these prices. We wouldn’t be surprised to see LCLC from Asetek in retail shortly as well.

More pathetic cooling ****.

Cheap watercooling kits should be banned.

^^

In the FrostyTech review, these kits perform under or equal to similarly-priced air coolers, which means they're only worthwhile for the bling factor.
An air cooler would be infinitely better from an ease-of-use perspective.

Theres no fun in buying these useless cheap kits.

If you want to go watercooling, atleast go all out.

The best part about Watercooling is setting up the baby! It takes some time and dedication and you can set it up brilliantly if you plan it and make it look B-E-A-utiful!

And some sleepless nites, hairloss, loads of cuts on the figures, mess in the room, shoutings 4m mom, tantrums 4m wife, etc, etc, etc

Honestly, going all out on setting up a WC rig is no child's play n need a lot of time, dedications, inspiration, motivation and all the abv mentioned stuff

But the satisfaction n contentment U get in the end is definately worth all the abv n much more

Sadly, I was on a v.tight schedule (had only 4 days 4m start to finish with 5 loop tests n 3 complete re assembles) as I was leaving 4 Srinagar, 4 a long time.

Left it looking like :

Thanks for all the compliments guys, but thats not my rig

Its a Audio Workstation with OSX Leopard (initially Kalyway 10.5.2 n now iDeneb 10.5.5) that I made for my friend, Tarun

The whole setup costed him 85K excluding the UMD card n the external Sound card which were for abt 1.5 lakh :O

He has 2 VS monitors on the setup and also has the new Mac Book Pro (Yup the aluminum cased) that he takes along, for his gigs
