How to install Thermaltake Core P3 Tempered Glass Red Edition ATX Open Frame Chassis

Follow these steps to assemble and install your components in the Core P3 Red Edition, maximizing airflow, accessibility, and aesthetic impact.

• Prepare the chassis: Remove any protective packaging and detach modular panels if needed to access mounting points. Inspect mounting areas for any shipping materials and prepare your workspace with static-free precautions.
• Install the motherboard: Mount your ATX, Micro-ATX, or Mini-ITX motherboard on the included standoffs. Route rear I/O cables through the appropriate cutouts to keep the interior clean once the panel is in place.
• Mount the power supply: Slide your ATX PSU into position on the bottom section (as designed by the open-frame layout). Secure it with screws and connect necessary power cables, keeping main cables tucked for clean air paths.
• Install GPUs and PCIe devices: Place graphics cards and PCIe components in the available slots. Use down-face or horizontal mounting as supported by your layout. Ensure clearance for radiator fans and airflow around the GPUs.
• Set up cooling: Attach radiators and fans according to your chosen cooling scheme. For AIO setups, mount the radiator with appropriate fan orientation to optimize airflow and cap it with the tempered glass panel for a striking look.
• Connect storage and accessories: Install any 2.5" or 3.5" drives in their mounts and connect SATA/power cables cleanly, routing behind the motherboard tray to reduce clutter.
• Close and finalize: Reinstall all panels, ensuring the 5mm tempered glass front panel is firmly seated. Tidy cables with built-in channels and rubber grommets, then power on to verify all fans, lighting, and components operate as intended.
• Fine-tune and customize: If your build features RGB lighting or custom fan curves, configure them through your motherboard software or lighting controller to achieve the look you envisioned.
