To test the CoolIT Domino A.L.C. I ran it on our Intel Core i7 test platform, which was then set to run at both default and overclocked settings. As a baseline all coolers will be compared to the retail boxed Intel cooler.
All of the temperatures were obtained by using Core Temp v0.99.3 after the system sat at an idle for 30 minutes and then again under 100% load while running Prime95 (64bit) v25.8 for 30 minutes using the in-place large FFTs torture test. The room temperature was kept a constant 72 degrees Fahrenheit (22c) for all benchmarking. All of the coolers were tested with Arctic Silver Lumiere as the thermal interface material.
