recently Thermaltake announced their latest chassis in their unique open frame wall-mountable core p series the core p3 late last year we saw the arrival of the core p5 and since then the pc modding community has gotten wild with this case creating loads of amazing custom liquid-cooled builds given the success of the p5 thermaltake has been looking to create yet another case to entice models that case was announced early this month and is now known as the core p3 and it's surprisingly similar to the p5 in many ways well being quite different at the same time let me explain essentially what we have here is a miniaturized version of the p5 however this isn't a mini ITX or even micro ATX version rather standard ATX motherboards are still supported despite being a little over 30% smaller the hardware support remains much the same as popular as the p5 was many complained about its size even for a case supporting the ATX form factor it was still pretty big unless you went all-out with the liquid cooling the p5 had a lot of wasted space the p3 corrects this while still offering plenty of room for extreme liquid cooling setups prior to the p3 s release then will take us for I'd like an early review sample and well how could I turn down an offer like that having seen all the epic hard pipe liquid cooled p5 cases online I thought it'd be cool to try and make one of my own completely ignoring the fact that I haven't really played around with custom water cooling before I promptly fired off a cheeky amount of thermal take asking if they'd supply the hardware for a custom hard pipe liquid cooled p3 build to my slight surprise they came back and said sha Matt that sounds great let's work out what you need from the TT premium store and we'll make it happen with that I didn't hesitate for a moment then began shopping before long I made a list of over a dozen individual parts that what I'd hoped would make for an awesome build Thermaltake agreed to sponsor my spending spree which totaled well over $1000 dollars for all the bits along with the p3 case and their new tough power RGB gold 850 watt power supply shortly after all that everything arrived and a quickly dawned on me that I had almost zero experience with this stuff thermaltake he made a big investment in this video so I couldn't let them down so then other than all the great-looking thermaltake gear what else was planned for the build at the heart of the build thought as rocks x99 Taichi motherboard will look the part plus I've received about 10,000 requests for review of this thing this new external onboard sports an amazing looking black and white theme with a nice pattern splashed on the PCB the board doesn't just look pretty either there's some great features on board to features such as purity sound three julienne tail Gigabit LAN a 12 power phase design dual band AC Wi-Fi dual altar m2 slots USB 3.1 and much much more included what shocked me the most about the x99 Taichi is the price incredibly it costs just 220 us or $300 dollars for a motherboard of this caliber I would expect to pay a lot more in keeping with the black and white theme of as rocks externally ngayon Taichi g.skill is graciously sent along one of their tried and said 64 gigabyte 32 hundred megahertz black-and-white ddr4 memory kids priced at around 450 US dollars or $650 dollars this memory isn't cheap though this is the asking price for 64 gigabytes of ddr4 3200 the new tried and said Callaway looks amazing and this black and white memory is going to look right at home and our p3 build for storage I'll be installing a single kingston UV 400 480 gigabyte of solid-state disk which is actually a pretty sensible cost-effective option so i'm not sure how that happened just kidding it's new and it's also going to suit the build to a team anyway at 125 US dollars 165 odd z dollars the UV 400 480 gigabyte is a very affordable SSD performance wise it's very much what you'd expect from a modern SATA 6 gigabits per second SSD of course if you want something with a little more punch a pair of samsung 950 pro m2 SSDs can be installed as well rather than use my insanely overpriced core i7 6950 x4 this build are we going to previous generations 59 60 X since this will be a gaming machine unless it has well a your Broadway lyricist would work just as well that said the 59 60 X wasn't my current gaming rig and since I plan to make the p3 my new gaming machine I brought it over speaking of gaming the nvidia geforce gtx 1080 founders Edition will be my GPU of choice wait what why the fans edition I hear you say yep there's a reason I'm going to use this and it has to do with all that thermal take liquid cooling gear you might have seen me unboxing the Pacific GTX transparent 10 series founders Edition waterblock earlier this week well this Bluffs going to be installed on the founders edition 1080 in this build so I hope the graphics card choice makes more sense now powering all this Hardware is the new tough power RGB Gold 850 watt power supply this unit sells for 180 us and although it's yet to go on sale down under I'm told the recommended retail price is $229 this power supply comes complete with a 140 millimeter RGB fan and features a 100% Japanese capacitors ideally for this build its 100% modular and I'll be using TT mods blue and black sleeve cable extensions to making up the rest of the system a heap of bits and bobs from thermal tape keeping the core i7 1506 TX cool will be the Pacific w3 CPU water block this block features extremely thin point one five millimeter fins connected to a copper base which maximizes heat extraction and prevent corrosion showing all this off is a high quality PWM a cover that allows users to see directly through the water block the next piece of the cooling puzzle is the dual 140 millimeter fan radiator notice the Pacific RL 280 thermaltake status radiators been constructed from high-quality German zinc alloy aluminum and aerospace grade materials it's available in configurations of 140 millimeters 280 millimetres 420 millimetres and 560 millimeters pumping air through the radiator will be a pair of ring 140 millimeter blue LED fans then we have the Pacific PR 22 d5 silent kit reservoir and pump combo the acrylic tank can hold 300 mil of liquid while the pump features a maximum flow rate of 1135 liters per hour this version of the pump includes an aluminium kit that not only hides the ugly pump but also helps to reduce noise hopefully directing the liquid Rhodes meant to go a thermal takes v to blur ptg tubes in total I've got 4 1 metre tubes and depending on how well things go I suspect I'll only need two of them helping things progress as planned would be the pacific hard to bender kid a must-have item at $98 finally finishing the system off and hopefully giving it that hardware in box blue Lucas Thermaltake C 1000 blue liquid coolant made in Germany the C 1000 opaque coolant is virtually odorless non flammable and high performance liquid offering superb protection for copper nickel brass and aluminium so the plan is now to install all this hardware into the p3 which I'll do shortly in an upcoming video entitled part 2 component install a simple way of saying what have I got myself into that'll be followed by part three the liquid cooling where I'll no doubt have a blast bending tubes at all the wrong angles finally part four will include some good old-fashioned benchmarks and a look at the CPU and GPU temperatures assuming the GTX 1080s survives the ordeal in part three now I actually have an awesome announcement to make I've teamed up with thermal tey to give away three yes three of these awesome Corp III cases and the competition is international so three lucky viewers are going to be receiving the exact same model case I'm using this build all you have to do to enter is head over to Hardware unbox comm sign up for the forums and post up a photo of
