Thermaltake upgraded the iconic open frame Core P3! Meet the Core P3 TG Pro. Upgrades include an additional fan bracket, modernized I/O ports, redesigned base and a recessed zone for radiators that maximizes space for the biggest and most advanced hardware.
This is the only PC case I've seen that doesn't come at least partially assembled. You just get a big box of parts and you have to assemble everything like a piece of furniture.
In this video I'll show you the steps I took to get everything assembled to hopefully save you some time if you get your own Core P3 Pro. Also covered is build quality, features and specs. To finish it all off, I installed the hardware from my main rig which includes a Core i9-13900K, RTX 3090, and a big AIO.

Tips for Building in the Core P3 Pro
- Install PSU cables and route them through the main pass-through before securing the PSU to the frame.
- You will need to purchase a separate PCIe riser cable to mount the GPU vertically.
- Mounting the PSU flat will limit your motherboard choices to ITX and mATX.
- Use custom fan curves to help reduce noise.
