Water block Aqua-Computer cuplex kryos NEXT RGBpx for LGA 1700, Acetal/Nickel

The Aqua-Computer cuplex kryos NEXT RGBpx for LGA 1700 is a CPU water block engineered for direct liquid cooling in custom loop systems. It combines an acetal top with a nickel-plated copper cold plate to provide efficient heat transfer from modern processors. Integrated RGBpx-compatible lighting allows addressable illumination control that can be synchronized with supporting controllers and software. The block is specifically shaped and ported for LGA 1700 mounting and optimized to reduce CPU temperatures in high-performance and overclocked configurations.

Advantages

This water block delivers high thermal conductivity through a nickel-plated copper base that contacts the CPU heatspreader directly, while the acetal top offers durable mechanical properties and secure sealing. The internal coolant channels and flow path are designed to balance low hydraulic resistance with effective heat extraction. RGBpx lighting provides flexible visual customization without compromising cooling performance. The overall construction supports long-term operation in closed-loop water-cooling systems and is compatible with common fittings and tubing choices used in custom builds.

Suitable for

• Custom liquid cooling loops for desktop PCs with LGA 1700 CPUs
• High-performance systems and workstations requiring improved CPU temperature control
• Overclocked processors where direct liquid cooling is preferred
• Enthusiast builds that combine cooling performance with addressable RGB lighting

Key specifications

• Socket compatibility: LGA 1700
• Top material: acetal
• Cold plate material: nickel-plated copper
• Lighting: Addressable RGBpx-compatible illumination
• Connection type: standard G1/4 compatible ports for fittings
• Intended use: CPU direct liquid cooling in custom water-cooling loops

How to use

Install the water block by mounting it to the LGA 1700 socket following the motherboard and block manufacturer's mounting instructions. Prepare the cold plate contact surface by ensuring the CPU heatspreader and the block base are clean and free of contaminants, and apply an appropriate thermal interface material. Connect inlet and outlet fittings using compatible G1/4 fittings and tubing, and integrate the block into a sealed custom loop with a pump, radiator, reservoir, and coolant. After assembly, perform leak testing and monitor coolant flow and temperatures during the initial operation to verify correct installation.

Recommendations

Use corrosion-resistant, biocide-treated coolant and follow recommended maintenance intervals for drain-and-refill to preserve the nickel plating and prevent biological growth. Ensure adequate flow rate by selecting a pump and loop configuration that minimizes excessive restriction. When synchronizing RGBpx lighting, use controllers or software that support the RGBpx protocol for full addressable control and to avoid voltage or signal mismatches.
