Water Block Aqua Computer NEXT Acetal Aluminium Silver 111mm

The Aqua Computer NEXT Acetal Aluminium Silver 111mm water block is a CPU cooling component designed for liquid-cooled PC systems. Constructed from acetal and an anodized aluminum frame with a silver finish, it measures 111 mm in width, 75 mm in depth and 22 mm in height. The product is intended for processor cooling and supports Socket AM5 and Socket AM4 platforms. The package includes thermal compound, a plastic spatula, springs and an RGBpx connection cable needed for integration and initial installation.

Advantages

The water block combines an acetal top and an anodized aluminum frame with a finely structured base to improve heat transfer and flow distribution. Its compact dimensions and low-profile design allow compatibility with a wide range of PC cases and motherboard layouts. Included premium thermal compound and mounting accessories simplify installation and help ensure consistent thermal contact. Integrated addressable RGBpx LEDs provide controllable lighting when connected to a compatible Aqua Computer controller.

Suitable for

• Liquid cooling loops for desktop processors
• Custom water-cooled gaming and workstation PCs
• Upgrades for AM4 and AM5 based systems
• Builds requiring a low-profile CPU water block with RGB lighting

Key specifications

• Type: CPU water block (processor cooling)
• Materials: acetal top, anodized aluminum frame, silver-coloured finish

How to use

Mount the water block on the target CPU following the motherboard socket instructions for AM4 or AM5. Apply the supplied thermal compound sparingly to the CPU heat spreader and spread evenly with the plastic spatula if required, or dispense as a thin central dot per the manufacturer’s guidance. Align the water block and secure it using the supplied springs and mounting screws; hand-tighten the knurled screws and use a hex key if additional torque is needed. Connect the RGBpx cable to a compatible Aqua Computer RGBpx output to enable addressable LED control. Integrate the block into the loop using appropriate fittings and tubing rated for the cooling system in use, and verify leak-free operation before powering the PC.

Recommendations

Ensure the motherboard BIOS and Aqua Computer control software support RGBpx devices before connecting LEDs. Use the included amount of thermal compound for multiple installations, and replace the compound if reusing the block after removal. Test the cooling loop for leaks with only the pump powered (no system power) and allow the system to reach operating temperature to confirm correct installation and stable CPU temperatures.
