Back up your data before modifying your hardware! Disconnect your PC from the mains power
outlet. To prevent damaging the sensitive hardware components, make sure to ground your
workplace and yourself to prevent electrostatic discharges.
When upgrading an existing PC setup, remove the installed heat sink from the CPU. Refer to the
instruction manual of the CPU cooler for details. Remove thermal grease residues from the CPU
surface using benzine if necessary.
Place a small drop (diameter ca. 4 mm or 0.15 inch) of thermal grease supplied with the cuplex
kryos NEXT centrally on the CPU. Alternatively, you can apply a thin layer of the thermal grease
using the supplied plastic spatula.

Place the cuplex kryos NEXT on top of the thermal grease covered CPU, observing the orientation as shown in the picture. Place on spring
into each recess and insert a knurled screw
through each spring 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.

Arrange back plate and black insulation mat
below the processor socket as shown in the picture. Slide one plastic washer onto the outer
thread of each retention bolt and screw the
bolts through the four mounting holes of the
motherboard into the back plate. For easy installation, the retention bolts can be screwed in
by hand or with a hexagon socket wrench.
Place the cuplex kryos NEXT on top of the thermal grease covered CPU, observing the orientation as shown in the picture. Slide one of the
four supplied springs onto each bolt and secure
each spring using one of the knurled head
screws (only one or two revolutions). Alternately
fasten each screw a fraction of a revolution until all four screws are fully fastened.

Integrate the cuplex kryos NEXT into a water cooling system of sufficient performance. For best
cooling performance, the coolant must be supplied through the central fitting of the cuplex kryos
NEXT. Reversed flow direction significantly decreases cooling performance.

Put the water cooling system into operation, but do not connect any other PC components to the
mains supply! Check the cuplex kryos NEXT as well as the fittings for leakages and do not put
your PC into operation unless you can definitively eliminate the possibility of coolant leaking from
the system! If any component has been in contact with coolant, do not put it into operation before it is completely dry again! For operating the PC, the cuplex kryos NEXT must be correctly
mounted and be connected to a water cooling system featuring adequate cooling performance!
For corrosion inhibition, “Double Protect Ultra” must be used as coolant!
