In October last year, we took the CoolIT Domino A.L.C out for spin, unfortunately, the performance was less than expected when running an i7 CPU, especially given the £75 price tag.  2010 brings a couple of completely new units from CoolIT, and today, we are going to take a look at their ECO A.L.C. model.

The ECO is a much simpler design than the Domino, shedding the LCD screen and large plastic cowling and instead opts for the combined pump and block approach, as seen on the various Asetek kits on the market.  Some of the Asetek kits do work relatively well, the Corsair H50 being a prime example, keeping up with many of the current high end air coolers (to a point), but how will the ECO A.L.C do in our performance tests?  Read on to find out...
