The FHE is larger than the CPU area to ensure full contact
The Fluid Heat Exchanger i.e. the CPU water block has a flat mirror finish for a larger surface area of contact between it and the processor. The mounting uses 4 spring loaded screws that can be disassembled to fit AMD and LGA775 systems. By default it's shipped ready for LGA1366 motherboards. The retention bracket ensures a tight secure fit.


The pump may look plasticky but it's certainly robust with its ceramic construct
Behind the LCD screen, there is some information on the different settings and their benefits. This can also be found in the manual. The pump is installed next to the screen and according to the specifications, its ceramic bearing has a long life and low noise output.


The single radiator used by the Domino A.L.C
A closer look at the radiator shows the corrugated pattern of the metal. Sadly, the material used was too flexible and bent easily with little pressure applied. On the side are the two hoses with one passing through the pump. The barbs seemed a bit flimsy at first, not the regular metal ones on proper liquid cooled setups, but they did the job and withstood the pressure and temperatures. The pump and reservoir were built next to each other to minimize the number of tubing used, easing setup for beginners who might be put off by a cable jungle.


There is a lot of space remaining and fewer cables compared to heatsink alternatives
Once installed, it sits comfortably in the computer. Rather than the fan being screwed at the back, it uses rubber mounts to prevent vibration. The good thing about this system is that unlike a massive heatsink, it puts no strain on the motherboard. The tubing are of adequate length to prevent tangling.


The display is crisp and clear to read. However it's best viewed straight on
Switched on, the LCD screen turns on and gives a plethora of information concerning fan/pump speeds, coolant temperature and the operating mode. The depressed area on the edge holds the button that allows you to change the operating mode between Quiet, Performance and Full.
