What customers say
Enthusiasts highly praise the Thermaltake Core P3 Pro for its exceptional design flexibility and showcase potential. The open frame beautifully displays high-end components and custom water cooling loops. Builders value the modularity, allowing vertical, horizontal, or wall mounting for unparalleled presentation options. Significant improvements include better cable management space and robust support for large radiators, simplifying complex installations.

Know before you buy
Yes, the Core P3 Pro is specifically designed to be wall-mounted. It includes the necessary structural support to display your build as a piece of wall art, though you should ensure your wall surface can support the combined weight of the chassis and your components.
Because the case is open-frame, it does not have dust filters. You will need to clean your components more frequently with compressed air to prevent dust buildup on your hardware.
The chassis is highly versatile and supports radiators up to 420mm. This makes it an excellent choice for custom loops or large AIO liquid cooling setups.
You can fit GPUs up to 450mm in length, provided you are not using a reservoir that obstructs that space. This accommodates almost all modern, high-end graphics cards currently on the market.
The Core P3 Pro supports standard ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini ITX motherboards. It is designed to provide plenty of room for cable management regardless of the board size you choose.
The dismantlable modular design allows you to strip the case down to its frame, making it much easier to install components or modify the layout. It is specifically built for enthusiasts who want to customize their build or incorporate 3D-printed parts.
