CTE Form Factor
Designed by Thermaltake
The CTE Form Factor Designed by Thermaltake, stands for Centralized Thermal Efficiency,
and is focused around providing high level thermal performance to critical components.
The design utilizes a 90-degree rotation of the motherboard providing more efficient airflow pathways.
Since the CPU location has been moved much closer to the front panel and the graphics card moved closer towards the rear panel,
independent cold air induction is given for thermal dissipation of the CPU and graphics card respectively.
This overall approach has allowed CTE to provide better and more efficient intake airflow through the placement of main components and cooling,
as well as optimization to heat extraction from the system.
The CTE T500 is the new model of the CTE form factor series, which utilizes Centralized Thermal Efficiency
and focuses on providing high levels of thermal performance to critical components.
The design utilizes a 90-degree rotation of the motherboard providing more efficient airflow pathways.
Move Critical Heat Sources (CPU And Graphic Cards) Closer Towards Cool Air
Since the CPU location of the CTE T500 has been moved much closer to the front panel and the graphics card moved closer towards the rear panel,
independent cold air induction is given for thermal dissipation of the CPU and graphics card respectively.
Active Cooling for More Efficient Intake Airflow
This overall approach has allowed CTE to provide better and more efficient intake airflow through
the placement of main components and cooling, as well as optimization to heat extraction from the system.
Create and Display Your Dream Build
Designed to meet the needs of both all-in-one and custom liquid cooling solutions, the CTE T500 Air Snow’s versatile interior
features one 4mm tempered glass panel on the left side, allowing users to view and admire all components in their full RGB glory.
Blow Your World Away with Three Pre-installed 140mm CT140 White Fans
CTE T500 Air Snow Full Tower Chassis features three 140mm PWM White Fans at the front, top and rear.
The CT140 fans are the best-performing case fans among all the case fans in Thermaltake’s collection so far.
Perfect Dust Protection
There are fine removable filters at the top, front, bottom, rear and right side of the chassis
to provide excellent protection against dust, and they are easily removable for cleaning.
Everything You Need Is Located In One Place
Two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, and HD Audio ports are placed on the top panel to grant direct access when needed.
