Snow Day?! LowBuget Benching / Domino ALC Guetto Mods / Q9650@5000Mhz
Hey Guys,
Just wanted to share some results from yesterday when I decided to have some fun with $61 WC system from CoolIT and show it's possible to have fun in the snow inside the house :D
Now to the guetto mods and later benching session:
[Domino A.L.C. Guetto Mod]
Parts Used:
1 x Wife's Domino ALC WC System - $61
1 x Used Swiftech MCR 220 Rad - $20;
2 x 120mm Lian-Li Medium Fans - $Free (came with my case);
Some 1/4 Tubing and Fittings - $5
Fill port - $3
Snow - $priceless
So I first started by cutting the original tubes and attaching the new tubes with the MCR 220 in the windows pulling cold air from outside thru the rad. Fill the rads with much water as possible because to fill this thing is a pita because of the tiny pump! The rest you can do thru the Domino rad mini fill port that I replaced with a 7/16 tubing.
This is the before:_____________________________________

Now for some temps comparison:
Unmodded Domino
Water Temps always above room temp.
Idle - 30-33oC
Load - 65oC-72oC
Modded Domino
Water temp always below room temp.
Idle - 14oC-17oC
Load - 37oC-42oC
That's 16oC difference on Idle and 30oC on Load :shocked:
