Thermaltake P5 and NZXT Kraken X72

[metroid112]

Does this case and AIO fit together?
I know the radiator size should fit since the P5 can go up to like 480mm radiators but I was using PcPartPicker and there was a warning they weren't compatible. I thought it may be the tubing length not reaching? I'm not really sure thats why I'm asking here, maybe someone with a similar setup can help me.

It's likely the length of the hose.

I've read a review on one of the revs of the P5 that even Thermaltake's own aio just barely fits and it's a stretch - and that was after the person was reassured that it would fit just fine by Thermaltake.

 

f course NZXT doesn't give a spec on how long the hose is, so it's hard to verify.  You could email and ask them.

After some digging I found this german review site claiming the tubing is around 400mm long, and seeing the pictures of the radiator I think it's correct

Here's a reddit post commenting how the tube length may not be optiman on the P5 with a H100GTX

And this article from PCMag shows that with a Kraken X61 the tube length almost didn't reach, the next article from TweakTown shows that the tubing on the X61 is around 381mm

So the X72 has 20mm longer hose but I feel like I might be stretching the whole thing. I'm still looking for anyone with a similar setup to tell me your experience, but I think the P5 might not be the most optimal choice for the X72.
