Water block Aqua-Computer cuplex kryos NEXT for LGA 1700, Copper/Copper, model 21846

Aqua-Computer cuplex kryos NEXT for LGA 1700 is a CPU water block engineered for direct liquid cooling of Intel processors on the LGA 1700 socket. The unit features a copper coldplate and a copper top to maximize thermal conductivity between the CPU heatspreader and the cooling liquid. Designed for integration into custom water-cooling loops, the block aims to provide improved heat transfer and lower operating temperatures for high-performance desktop systems and overclocking configurations.

Advantages

The copper-to-copper construction ensures high thermal conductivity and corrosion-resistant compatibility when used with appropriate coolant and loop maintenance. The cuplex kryos NEXT is sized and machined to fit LGA 1700 mounting geometry, offering reliable contact with modern Intel CPUs. Its design supports efficient flow through the cooling channels to balance performance and coolant pressure drop, making it suitable for both high-flow and moderate-flow loops.

Suitable for

• Custom water-cooling loops in gaming and workstation PCs
• Overclocked desktop processors requiring enhanced heat dissipation
• Silent cooling builds where liquid cooling replaces high-speed air fans
• Systems where precise temperature control and long-term stability are needed

Key specifications

• Socket compatibility: Intel LGA 1700
• Coldplate material: copper
• Top material: copper
• Intended use: CPU direct liquid cooling for custom loops
• Mounting: designed for LGA 1700 mounting geometry and hardware

How to use

Install the water block onto an LGA 1700 CPU according to the motherboard and block manufacturer instructions, ensuring proper orientation and secure mounting pressure. Prepare the custom loop with compatible coolant and fill, bleed, and test the loop for leaks before normal operation. Apply a thin, even layer of thermal interface material between the CPU heatspreader and the copper coldplate to ensure optimal thermal contact. Monitor temperatures and flow after initial startup and adjust loop configuration as needed.

Recommendations

Use corrosion-inhibiting or manufacturer-recommended coolant and perform routine loop maintenance, including periodic checks for leaks, coolant condition, and pump performance. When assembling the loop, verify compatibility of fittings and tubing with the water block ports and avoid aggressive additives that could damage copper components.
