Aquacomputer cuplex kryos XT .925 silver edition for socket 2011(-3), G1/4

The construction of the cuplex kryos is similar to the cuplex pro: The coolant is injected onto the center of the base plate and then flows through a microstructure of copper pins – opposed to simple channels used in many competing products. The copper pin structure is extremely dense and consists of 1911 individual pins, each measuring 0.25 x 0.45 mm.

Compared with previous models, the retention mechanism has been redesigned. Due to the increased weight, all metal body versions of thecuplexkryosnow feature a retention system with a mechanical stop. Special knurled screws can simply be screwed in all the way, automatically resulting in an even pressure distribution. Additionally, the top models with nickel plated or copper bodies ship with a stainless steel back plate and rubber insulation.

Six versions of the cuplex kryos are available: 

The high performance versionscuplexkryosXT andcuplexkryosHF will give you the best cooling performance. They areeqippedwith a nickel plated brass body (XT) or a copperboby(HF), the new retention mechanism as well as back plates. The base plate is identical in design for all versions.

The cuplex kryos PRO has a brass body and does not ship with a backplate, otherwise it is identical to thecuplexkryosXT. 

As a cost effective version, thecuplexkryosDelrin is available. The body is made from Delrin and the retention system has been adopted from thecuplexXT di series. For comparison: In our tests, thecuplexkryosDelrin performed 0.3 – 0.5 degreesC worse than the metal body versions on a i7-960 CPU. This is still an impressive performance!

Finally, if you are looking for an outstanding product, there is the cuplexkryos.925 silver edition. As you might have guessed, these versions feature a base plate manufactured from massive .925 sterling silver. Thermal conductivity of silver is about 10 % better than copper, making this version the best performing cooler of the cuplexkryosseries. Due to the high cost of silver, these versions currently cost EUR 120 more than the corresponding copper base plate versions.
