Thermaltake Pacific CL360 Max D5c RGB Water Cooling Kit CL-W259-CU00SW-A

I am not noticing any overheating and the tubes don’t even get warm. My kids love the colors. The tubes have more that twice the cross section of the pipes feeding my showers, bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen. I would like to have gone with a case from the same manufacturer. But, with the Covid shortages, I would have had to wait weeks. I was still able to get it to fit in a competitor case with no issues. I could stick my thumb in those tubes. They are huge. Filling was a lot easier than I expected. I would like to see them review and improve their instruction manual though. But, once I got it going, it was great.

Even tho I received a faulty cpro fittings the outcome of this project is satisfying and great.

Seen so many reviews on this saying it not very good

no its amazing

Just poor install that give it bad reviews

Love it and the thermaltake software works perfect

This is one of the most user-friendly kit ever, everything you ever need to make your first custom waterloop is in this kit. The RGB is very pretty on the waterblock and the pump/res is very easy to work with. It comes with C-pro fittings which is very good and easy to use and the angled adapters are a nice plus. Overall highly recommend to anyone wanting to get into watercooling, for the price its an awesome bargain.

I purchased this for a new Covid inspired Ryzen build back in May, I’ll list the specs at the bottom. I’ve used closed loop systems before and liked the idea of a going a little bit over the top this time around and do a custom loop. I settled on this system partially because I had already gotten a Thermaltake case and this would easily fit in it, it’s huge and weighs a ton. It makes me think they designed the case with this kit in mind, it fits that well together. I also really liked the pump that this came with more than the others I was finding mostly, and with the kit I didn’t really have to worry about fudging a fitting on the order only to realize it later. I also picked up the Thermaltake hard tube tool kit while I was at it, which came in handy.

The radiator is of decent quality and is way deeper than you think, small cases might struggle with this. CPU waterblock was of fantastic quality, it really feels and looks the part. Fittings are good quality and easy to use . Pump is SUBSTANTIAL in size, really didn’t realize that going in as it’s almost the length of my forearm, but of excellent quality. Fans are super quiet and the RGB is bright. The RGB control boxes are cheap and super finicky. The tubing is a little cheap but works well, heat gun needed or I suppose a blow dryer would work. There is a silicon cylinder to help you form the tubs to how you want them however there is not a cutting mechanism included, if you have a pipe cutter this doesn’t matter as it works just fine. Machined parts were of good quality with one exception. One of the barrel fasteners for the cpu mounting bracket had bad threads and couldn’t be used. I contacted thermaltake and got an RMA response in about 3 days, they said they would just send me a the small part since there was no need to send the whole kit back. I got it about 2 weeks later. Not great but it wasn’t the RMA dept’s fault, things seem to languish in shipping as I will come to find out.

Alright 2.5 weeks later I get to restarting to build again and it was a breeze. Everything mounted fine, and once you get the hang of how you want to do the tubes it’s a breeze. Admittedly I don’t have perfect square angles but eh good enough, it’s getting redone once I have a new GPU and waterblock to match. Everything is hooked up and the I ran distilled water through the loop for a day to watch for leaks, none. Ok maiden voyage time. It all works and is whisper quiet, looks great. I should note the pump does have settings if you want or need to up the flow, and it still stays quiet.

A week later, some of the RGBs on the fans and panel aren’t working anymore, started as intermittent then just stopped entirely. Lots of testing and it’s definitely one of the 2 RGB control boxes I have inside the case. I send the info to Thermaltake’s customer service and get a response, only 2 days this time, that they would tend to agree with me and will be sending out a new control box immediately. Again 2 weeks go by, each time I get the RMA approval very quickly but the item takes for ever to ship it seems.

Going on 5 months later, I’m quite happy with the system. It’s super quiet and runs very cool, it’s only doing the cpu for now so this should go without saying. I’ve changed out the liquid once already just for the sake of it, I highly recommend you get a couple extra parts to put in a drain valve as it makes this sooooooo much easier. The TT RGB software is drech but works for the most part, it can get really finicky after sleep cycles.

If if had to do it again I might go with a smaller radiator and pump, these are almost comically large.

I really like the look of the system laying horizontally without any of the RGB running as it looks like some crazy high end stereo gear. But I worry that the weight of the pump will slowly pull it into the fans so I keep it vertical most of the time.

TLDR;
If you would rather grab it all from one place and everything match right then slowly piece together a system that as you might not be able to get the part you want at the time you want, this is the kit for you. Watch for some minor quality control issues but Thermaltake is pretty good about replacing stuff, even if their shipping department doesn’t seem to care much.

It’s pretty, it’s quiet, and it was easy. What’s not to love.

Rzyen 3900X, MSI MEG x570 ACE MB, 32GB Trident Neo Z RAM, 2x 1TB Sabrent PCIE 4.0 M.2 SSD, EVGA 1080 GTX, Seasonic 850w Focus Power Supply, Thermaltake Core P3 case.

Where to start?
I am a total beginner to building computers but I finally decided to put down the money to build my dream PC and I knew I wanted to water cool it. I use a Thermaltake Core P3 Case and I figured that I would want to find a Thermaltake water cooling kit to match it. I looked around on Youtube to see what people were using but I couldn’t find anything on this specific case so I decided to gamble and give it a try.

Out of the box, everything was neatly packed with plenty of foam and nothing was damaged or scratched. The fans are beautiful and the radiator is awesome. The CPU block works great and all the fittings have not let a leak through yet! (and they are even installed incorrectly on the PETG tubing but they are so good that they still work)
I really cannot stress enough how quiet the pump is and there is a helpful little dial on the bottom that adjusts the speed of the water flow. I found that at the lowest speed, I can easily cool a Ryzen 9 3900x with no issues.

Some helpful tips that I wish I knew: Order this with bend guides, extra PETG 5/8 tubing, and a pipe cutter – you’ll need them all if you want to be able to use this kit. With those items combined, it’s like an extra $50 but you can’t do it without them!
Another thing: I ordered a GPU water block to cool my 2080ti and I thought I would need extra fittings but this kit comes with enough so you don’t have to order any! And even on the lowest speed, the pump and the radiator are able to cool an overclocked GPU and CPU without any issues and they will never bottleneck due to thermal overload.
10/10 I will be buying this kit again for my next build.
