The cuplex kryos NEXT represents a new milestone in the development of CPU water coolers. Every detail has been analyzed, optimized and tested to achieve perfection in the areas of cooling performance, assembly and functionality. The result is not just a CPU cooler that sets new standards in cooling performance - an entire model family covers a spectrum of color and equipment variants. Unique in the world for CPU water coolers, the VARIO models have a base plate that can be deformed during operation - never before has it been possible to adjust a CPU cooler to an optimal fit to the CPU during operation. The models with VISION module are equipped with powerful electronics: A high-resolution OLED display, integrated water temperature measurement and USB interface are just three examples of the range of functions.
Cooler base with microstructure
The cooler base of the cuplex kryos NEXT is equipped with an extremely fine microstructure, the structure width is less than 200 µm. The coolant flows into the center of the microstructure via a flat nozzle integrated in the radiator housing and is discharged from there in two directions. Depending on the cooler variant, the radiator base is made of copper, nickel-plated copper or .925 sterling silver.
Bracket system
The bracket system of the cuplex kryos NEXT consists of solid stainless steel sheets with a material thickness of 2.5 mm, into which nickel-plated spring cups are pressed. Knurled screws and springs attach the cooler to the mainboard; when installed, the holding system looks very tidy due to the spring cups and the low height. All mounting variants have a defined stop for optimal contact pressure and force distribution. The knurled screws can be installed by hand, and a hexagon socket drive also allows for easy installation.
The cooler variants for socket 115x or AM3 are equipped with a backplate with a silicone cover, which additionally stabilizes the mainboard. With Socket 2011 or AM5/AM4, a backplate is already part of the mainboard processor socket; an additional backplate is not required here.
When using the AM5/AM4 7000/5000/3000 mounting variant, the heat sink is not positioned in the middle of the CPU, but is slightly off-center for optimal heat dissipation in accordance with the changed internal structure of the Ryzen 3000, Ryzen 5000 and Ryzen 7000 CPU series.
For optimal performance, every cuplex kryos NEXT comes with 0.5 grams of excellent thermal paste, which is packaged in a syringe for easy use. A plastic spatula for application is also included. The paste has a high thermal conductivity and, thanks to its low viscosity, spreads very well between the CPU and the water cooler during assembly. The quantity supplied is enough for approx. five installations of the cooler.
