Wooo!!!! Awesome! I am so excited, thanks everyone!
So maybe the beer was an exaggeration, but I'm actually currently using a heatsink that wasn't meant for this mobo so my computer is on it's side since I can't clip the heatsink down.. it's just resting on top of the CPU. Now I can finally mount something to it and put my computer upright again, not to mention having water cooling now!

Hey all. So I received the cooler and install it. I must admit, the installation was a real pain. For one the cooler does not fit well in my case. I removed the 120mm fan I have at the rear and tried to line this thing up with the holes, no such luck. Since this is bigger than the old fan it was hitting the bottom of my PSU. I tried pulling the rubber vibration dampeners through the holes and they just rip off. I ended up using the case vent holes to put a single screw into the Domino to hold it in place, it was pretty much the only thing I could do to secure it to my case.

The cooling is pretty good, I'm happy with it. The fact that it's self contained is very nice, no hoses to hook up and potential to screw things up and fry your PC.

Thanks for the post... Glad it made it! These things are definitely not one size fits all. What case do you have just so people know to think twice if considering the same combo.

Yeah... so I'm finding, a larger case is better. This is my case:

It's pretty generic, but one nice thing about it is I took the CPU air duct off and you can see the cooler display pretty well, so no need for a case mod!
