Thermaltake Intros Pacific TF3 Liquid Cooling System Dashboard

Thermaltake today formally launched the Thermaltake Intros Pacific TF3 Liquid Cooling System Dashboard, which it had showed off at the 2023 International CES. This contraption is designed to fit into a standard 120 mm fan vent, ideally one of the three front 120 mm vents of a case with glass front-panel, or the rear 120 mm exhaust facing forwards; and connected to your liquid-cooling loop. It has three analog gauges—one of which shows coolant pressure; the other the coolant temperature, and the third one the ambient temperature inside the case. The dials of these analog gauges feature an RGB diffuser, and so they can color-code the temperature reading in real-time, or be programmed like any other RGB object in your case. It has the same dimensions as a case fan, measuring 120 mm x 120 mm x 25 mm.

A neat concept, kinda cool, kinda fugggily, and kinda retro all at the same time, hehehe:)

But I doubt that very many folks would be willing to give up 1 of their fan spots for it though... perhaps those who have big cases with 3 fans in the front like the one in the pic, but otherwise, not so much....

And as always, no price is listed, so it's really hard to say what, if any, value proposition there might be :(

There are a lot of cases with solid fronts where front fans end up being useless showpieces. Perfect for those cases.

Hi,
Yeah not possible to have lower fluid temp 30c+- than ambient 40c+ :laugh:

Not to mention pressure lower than 1 bar, I'm glad they tested this at high altitudes or sub space ;)

This is a solution looking for a problem my motherboard shows pump rpm and water temp. I'm not sure I'd like to have it taking up fan space either. Does it come with a bracket for mounting elsewhere?

You try to make Your kid happy by buying a cool LC part for his PC, only to end up with him sleepless through the nights. :P

Clearly, a lot of people in this thread who read the text accompanying the images. /s

You know, the same tAmbient that AMD uses in their TDP calculations.

Not sure if Shivan, Shaver, or EV Plug...








Considering how similar it looks to a Chinese GB/T DC charge plug (with the non-current-carrying conductors removed), I'd bet someone was in a crunch on product design.

EVGA made our beaks wet with theirs.
But they never released it to the masses.

Fertile grounds for this one then.
