The cuplex kryos NEXT from Aquacomputer represents a new milestone in the development of CPU water coolers. The areas of cooling performance, assembly and functionality have been perfected here.

Through an integrated flat nozzle in the cooler housing, the coolant flows in the middle of the extremely fine microstructure of the cooler base and thus sets new standards for cooling performance. The radiator base is made of nickel, the housing is made of white acetal with an anodized aluminum cover.

The mounting system is made of solid stainless steel sheet, 2.5mm thick. The nickel-plated spring cups are pressed in here. By attaching the cooler to the mainboard with knurled screws and springs, the holding system is visually very tidy due to the low height. The bracket has a defined stop for optimal contact pressure and force distribution.

With the cuplex kryos NEXT for socket 2011, 2066, AM4 and TR4, no additional backplate is required, as this is already part of the mainboard processor socket.

The cooler comes with the excellent thermal paste from Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut 0.5 grams. This is packed in a syringe and can be easily applied with the enclosed plastic spatula.

11 individually addressable RGBpx LEDs are integrated under the black aluminum cover.
