Spectre 3.0 Assembly Manual
Revision 1.2

Introduction & Features
Spectre 3.0 has been completely re-designed from the ground up. The case is larger in all
dimensions and has been upgraded to be compatible with XL-ATX with an extra expansion slot
for a total of 8. Spectre 3.0 has been designed to fit the RTX 3090 even the Founders Edition with
the stock cooler. There is more space to comfortably fit 360mm radiators up to 60mm thick. The
reservoir is easier to fill and the loop quicker and easier to bleed. The cable management fits EPS
on both sides of the motherboard and can fit up to 3x 8pin EPS. The PCIE is routed through the
PSU Top Panel with capacity for up to 6x PCIE 8pin cables.
The case has a completely new aesthetic with far more detailed machining on the metal
components. We have removed curves and instead used angles with cut outs and depth
machining to create an even more skeletal and transparent look to align with the original ideas
of the case.
Features
•
Integrated Liquid Cooling Features
o
Reservoir, D5 Pump Top, D5 Pump Cover, Fill Port, Drain Port, roughly half of the cooling loop.
•
Integrated Cable Management Features
o
Cable management channels with cable combs:
8pin EPS on the left side of motherboard: x3.
8pin EPS above the 24pin: x2 (Maximum 3x EPS can be used at the same time).
24pin Cable: x1.
SATA Data x4.
PCIE go through the PSU Top Shroud: x6.
•
Reduced build time due to integration
o
With the pump and reservoir combo and roughly half of the loop integrated there is less
assembly to be done.
o
Cable management is far quicker, just clip your cables in and they are all perfectly aligned.
•
Integration Cost Component
o
A large portion of the case cost is due to the integration. These are components you do not
have to purchase for your build. The pump and reservoir combo, less fittings, less tube, no
cable combs, or cable management components.
•
Compatibility
o
Theoretically the more integration the less compatibility. For Spectres integration the
position of each integrated port and cable routing hole was carefully chosen based on
statistics and our experience.
•
Integration & Optimization
o
With the integration we did not just develop a case, we also had to develop all the integrated
components. This meant that we could focus more on optimization than would normally be
possible.
o
The pump top was designed for the D5 pump, maximizing flow to and from the distribution
plate.
