Aqua Computer is now shipping a series of cuplex kryos NEXT waterblocks for the AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors. It doesn't look like they made a lot of changes to support the TR4 socket, the waterblock isn't larger but just has different mounting tools. Pricing starts at 59.90EUR for the copper variant while the nickel-plated model (pictured below) is priced at 64.90EUR in the Aqua Computer webshop.
The cuplex kryos NEXT marks a new milestone in CPU water block development. Every detail has been analyzed, optimized and tested to achieve perfection in cooling performance, installation procedure and product features. The result is not just a CPU water block with outstanding performance - it is a product series with various models differing in color and functionality. The VARIO models are the first CPU water blocks globally to incorporate a real-time adjustable base - never before has it been possible to adjust the geometry of a CPU block to perfectly fit the CPU while the PC is in operation. Models with VISION module are equipped with modern electronics: High resolution OLED display, integrated water temperature sensor and USB interface are just three of the features.
Base part with micro structure
The base part of the cuplex kryos NEXT is equipped with an extremely fine micro structure, the structural width is lower than 200 µm. The coolant is injected centrally through a slot-shaped nozzle and then runs to both sides of the structure. The base itself is manufactured from copper, nickel plated copper or .925 sterling silver depending on model.
