• Tubing: Hard tube construction with premium fittings for a crisp, professional look, reduced air pockets, and enhanced flow stability compared to soft tubing setups.
• RGB Lighting: 5V RGB support compatible with major motherboard ecosystems, enabling synchronized lighting effects across the cooling loop for a cohesive, visually striking build.
• Compatibility and Design: Intended for use with compatible CPU and GPU blocks in a custom-loop configuration, offering flexible mounting options and airflow considerations for various chassis layouts.

How to Install Thermaltake Pacific C360 DDC Hard Tube Water Cooling Kit

• Prepare your case and plan the loop: verify that your chassis can accommodate a 360mm radiator and the chosen mounting locations for the pump, reservoir, and blocks. Gather thermal paste, screwdrivers, and relevant mounting hardware.
• Mount the radiator and fans: secure the 360mm radiator in its designated mounting area (front or top, depending on your case and airflow strategy) and attach any fans included with the kit, ensuring proper airflow direction to maximize cooling efficiency.
• Install the pump-reservoir assembly: position the DDC pump and reservoir in a gravity-friendly location with easy access for maintenance and filling. Connect the power leads to the appropriate power source or PWM/fan control header if required by the kit.
• Route and connect hard tubing: plan your tubing routes to minimize bends and avoid sharp radii; cut the hard tubes to length, fit them onto the blocks and fittings, and secure with compression fittings to prevent leaks. Ensure all connections are tight and seals are properly seated.
• Fill, bleed, and leak-test: slowly fill the loop with coolant, bleeding air as needed until the system runs smoothly with no significant air pockets. Perform a thorough leak test (static pressure test) prior to powering on the system to protect components.
• Connect RGB and test: attach the RGB controller or motherboard header as required, install any required software, and verify lighting synchronization across the kit. Power on the system, monitor coolant temperatures, and fine-tune pump speeds and fan curves for balance between cooling performance and acoustics.
• Final checks and calibration: re-check all fittings for leaks after an initial run, ensure cable management is clean, and confirm that the RGB lighting behaves consistently with other components in your build.

Frequently asked questions

• Is the kit compatible with my motherboard’s RGB software?

  Yes. The Thermaltake Pacific C360 DDC Hard Tube kit supports 5V RGB synchronization across major motherboard ecosystems including Asus Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light, and ASRock Polychrome, enabling unified lighting with other RGB components and peripherals.

• What space do I need for installation?

  The kit relies on a 360mm radiator, so ensure your case has sufficient clearance for a 360mm radiator in the intended mounting location, as well as space for the DDC pump reservoir and access to tubing routes. Some chassis layouts may favor top-mounted vs. front-mounted radiators based on airflow and clearance.

• Is this kit suitable for beginners?

  The Thermaltake Pacific C360 DDC kit is designed to be install-friendly for enthusiasts upgrading from air cooling, but it does require careful planning, leak testing, and basic hydrodynamics concepts. Following the included instructions and taking your time with fittings, routing, and testing will help ensure a safe and satisfying build experience.

• Can I upgrade or customize components later?

  Yes. The kit’s modular design supports upgrade paths, such as swapping blocks, radiators, or tubing. This makes it adaptable to future hardware changes or aesthetic tweaks without replacing the entire cooling system.
