Description
CTE Form Factor
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 T500 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 TG ARGB’s versatile interior features two 4mm tempered glass panels on the front and left side, allowing users to view and admire all components in their full RGB glory.
Dual 360mm Radiators Support
Our CTE T500 TG ARGB Snow offers excellent cooling support for custom liquid cooling enthusiasts, allowing users to install up to two 360mm radiators at the front and rear simultaneously. For AIO compatibility, users can install up to one 420mm AIO radiator at the front and up to two 360mm AIO radiators at the front and the rear.
