Coolit Domino A.L.C. CPU Cooler Review

While we could test this CPU cooler against lots of others on the market we decided to compare the Coolit Domino A.L.C. CPU Cooler against a similar Antec Kuhler 920 mainly because they were both released with a similar rrp.

Testing method:

Stable recorded Stock CPU temperatures from a 10 minute idle test
Stable recorded Stock CPU temperatures from a 10 minute load test
Overclocked CPU temperatures from a 10 minute idle test
Overclocked CPU temperatures from a 10 minute load test
The cooler’s fans are set at the lowest speed and then the highest speed giving us two sets of results
All tests are repeated to check the consistency and reliability of the results
Delta temperatures are used in the charts to provide more accurate results
Maximum recorded noise output at lowest fan speed and the highest 100% fan speed
The supplied thermal paste is always used to make the results a fair interpretation of the cooler’s stock performance
The temperature threshold we set before calling the test a fail is 65^oC above ambient but if the cooler manages to complete more than 75% of the test before rising above the 65^oC delta mark, we allow it to complete the test, provided it is capable
A +/- 1 degree Celsius margin of error is incorporated by our CPU/GPU temperature recording method
A +/- 0.1 degree Celsius margin of error is incorporated by our ambient temperature recording method
