Front panel Power, reset, 2 x USB 3, 2 x USB 2, stereo, microphone.Dimensions (mm) 570 x 333 x 608 (W x D x H).While the Core P5 is touted as being a wall-mountable case, there are also options to have it sit upright as we have done in this review, and also laid flat using various support feet - more on this over the page. The rear of the case actually slides off, revealing the innards behind the motherboard tray.
THERMALTAKE CORE P5 PLUS
The exterior is powder-coated black and the edging is only broken up by the front panel, which sports USB 2 and USB 3 ports plus the usual buttons and audio jacks. It's 61cm high (23.9in) and 57cm (22.4in) wide and despite sporting what appears to be a low profile it's actually fairly hefty in depth too at just under 34cm (13.1in). Size-wise, even though the Core P5 can house ATX motherboards it's still a large case. Even if you do water-cool the system, the PSU is still at the mercy of dust, although the rest of the system would be very easy indeed to get a vacuum over once in a while.
However, Thermaltake appears to have given this some thought and has included two large dust filters for the radiator mount - this is designed to be part of a water-cooled system rather than an air-cooled case although there is room for standard air coolers up to 180mm in height. The large acrylic panel gives a fantastic view of the interior - something you only get with a case like this but unlike the PC-O5SX, since the Core P5 is an open air case, the issue of dust is a concern. 2 screw holes to fit into the case mounts at the bottom of the case and looks the part once all installed (I have not painted. I made this mount go in place of the TT Core P5 Pump Shelf to fit my older square style EK 'CSQ' D5/Res Combo. Cooling will obviously be good for the simple reason you're essentially using an open-air test bench and not an enclosed case. Thermaltake Core P5 - EK D5 CSQ Pump Res Combo Shelf Mount by OurGodlyOverlord. The most obvious and significant is that the Core P5 is essentially an open-air chassis and as such, there's little point us testing it as a normal case when there are no case fans or any kind of thermal design.

I really appreciate any thoughts and comments on this.There are some differences between the Core P5 and Lian Li's efforts though. Would it be possible to mount a fan between the psu and the vertical gpu bracket to provide som air up through the backside of the gpu? And would it be efficiant enough regardin airflow over the motherboard? Are some motherboards more suited to be used in a chassis like the P3/P5 with no airflow cooling on the mobo heatsinks? Are vrm/ram/chipset overheating a real issue with these open chassis? The P5 is intended to showcase a system with multiple hardware components and full-loop water cooling systems thanks to its spacious nature. Even GGF's review build has no cooling on motherboard components, exept the cpu ( ). In reality, the Thermaltake Core P3 is a smaller version of the Core P5 open-frame computer chassis. Im planning a cpu aoi cooler with the gpu vertically mounted.Ī lot of the builds I have seen online with the P3/P5 chassis does not have any motherboard cooling, only cpu and gpu. (Looks is a high priority for me with the P3 chassis.) Liquid cooling all parts is another and better solution, but not within my budget unfortunately. I have seen som diy fan solutions, rigging a fan to the side of the chassis to provide some air, but I don't like how that change the overall looks. However, I'm a little hesitant to pull the trigger because of the lack of airflow cooling critical motherboard components like vrm, ram and chipset. I really like the design of the Core P3 (yes, I know this is the P5 club, but my questions relate to the P5 chassis as well) and would love to use it for my new gaming rig.
