Back up your data before modifyin your hardware! Disconnect your PC from
the mains power outlet. To prevent dama in the sensitive hardware compo-
nents, make sure to round your workplace and yourself to prevent electrostat-
ic dischar es.
When up radin an existin PC setup, remove the installed heat sink from the
CPU. Refer to the instruction manual of the CPU cooler for details. Remove
thermal rease residues from the CPU surface usin benzine if necessary.
Place a small drop (diameter ca. 4 mm or 0.15 inch) of thermal rease sup-
plied with the cuplex kryos NEXT centrally on the CPU. Alternatively, you can
apply a thin layer of the thermal rease usin the supplied plastic spatula.

Place the cuplex kryos NEXT on top of
the thermal rease covered CPU, ob-
servin the orientation as shown in the
picture. Place on sprin into each re-
cess and insert a knurled screw
throu h each sprin into the anchor
threads of the CPU socket (only one or
two revolutions). Alternately fasten
each screw a fraction of a revolution
until all four screws are fully fastened.

as shown in the picture. Slide one
plastic washer onto the outer thread of
each retention bolt and screw the bolts
throu h the four mountin holes of the
motherboard into the back plate. For
easy installation, the retention bolts
can be screwed in by hand or with a
hexa on socket wrench.

Inte rate the cuplex kryos NEXT into a water coolin system of sufficient perfor-
mance. For best coolin performance, the coolant must be supplied throu h
the central fittin of the cuplex kryos NEXT. Reversed flow direction si nificantly
decreases coolin performance.

4. Initial operation and approved coolants
Put the water coolin system into operation, but do not connect any other PC
components to the mains supply! Check the cuplex kryos NEXT as well as the
fittin s for leaka es and do not put your PC into operation unless you can
definitively eliminate the possibility of coolant leakin from the system! If any
component has been in contact with coolant, do not put it into operation be-
fore it is completely dry a ain! For operatin the PC, the cuplex kryos NEXT
must be correctly mounted and be connected to a water coolin system featur-
in adequate coolin performance! For corrosion inhibition, “Double Protect
Ultra” must be used as coolant!

The eometry of the base part of cuplex kryos NEXT VARIO variants can be ad-
justed usin four adjustin screws on the sides of the water block to perfectly fit
the CPU. Each water block is pre-adjusted to a eometry that performs very
well with a number of CPUs. A laser en ravin on the screws marks this preset.
The eometry is to be adjusted while the PC is in operation. Therefore, the cu-
plex kryos NEXT VARIO has to be installed on the CPU and inte rated into a
functionin water coolin setup. Use extreme caution while adjustin the water
block and do not touch any motherboard components!
CPU temperature or CPU core temperatures must be monitored while adjustin
the eometry. Examples for suitable software are:
●aquasuite version 2017 or hi her, tab “Quick data view”
●“HWiNFO“ (REALiX, Freeware, www.hwinfo.com)
●“Core Temp“ (Arthur Liberman, freeware, www.alcpu.com)
●“Open Hardware Monitor“ (Open Hardware Monitor Project, open
source/MPL 2.0, www.openhardwaremonitor.or )
●“AIDA64“ (FinalWire Ltd., subject to license fees, www.aida64.com)
●Some motherboard manufacturers also provide suitable software.

The adjustment should be done while the CPU is subject to heavy load. Exam-
ples for suitable software are:
●“Prime95“ (Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search, freeware,
www.mersenne.or )
●“OCCT“ (OCBASE, freeware, www.ocbase.com)
Vary the positions of the adjustment
screws of the cuplex kryos NEXT
VARIO sli htly and monitor CPU tem-
perature. If the CPU temperature de-
creases, proceed to adjust the screw in
the same direction. If the temperature
increases, reverse the adjustment. Per-
form the process for all four adjust-
ment screws until the water block is
optimally adjusted. No adjustment
screw should be rotated by more than one revolution from the ori inal posi-
tion!
In order to reset the water block to the factory settin , screw in each adjustment
screw until the stop and then loosen each screw by approximately on revolu-
tion, until the markin on screw and water block ali n.
