Thermaltake CTE T500 TG ARGB Black

The CTE T500 TG ARGB Snow is a purposebuilt EATX fulltower case from the CTE form factor series, designed to provide critical components with a high level of thermal performance. It comes with three preinstalled 140mm CT140 ARGB White fans.

CTE form factor
Thermaltake's proprietary CTE form factor stands for Centralized Thermal Efficiency and focuses on providing high thermal performance for critical components. The design uses a 90degree rotation of the motherboard to create more efficient airflow paths.

By moving the CPU position much closer to the front and the graphics card closer to the rear, an independent cold air intake is enabled for CPU and graphics card heat dissipation. This overall approach allowed CTE to achieve better and more efficient airflow through the placement of the main components and cooling system and optimise heat dissipation from the system.

Design and showcase the system of your choice
Designed specifically to meet the needs of allinone and custom liquid cooling systems, the versatile interior of the CTE T500 Air features a 4 mm tempered glass panel on the left side that allows users to view and admire all components in their full RGB glory.

Space for cooling components
The CTE T500 fulltower case has an enormous fan and cooler installation capacity: up to eleven 140 mm/120 mm fans and 360 mm AIO coolers in various positions (one 420 mm AIO cooler at the front). In addition, fan mounts on the front and rear as well as mounting points on the top, right side and lid allow for easy installation of all desired cooling components.

Three preinstalled 140 mm ARGB fans
The Full Tower case is equipped with three 140 mm ARGB PWM fans on the front, top and rear. The LED lighting effects can be controlled via software supported by the mainboard. Users can thus create an impressive RGB light show while enjoying high cooling performance.

Expansion options at the highest level
The Full Tower (CA1X800F6WN01) is highly expandable, allowing you to fit as many components as you want into your dream case. It supports up to one EATX motherboard (12 x 13 inch), a CPU cooler with a maximum height of 195 mm, a GPU cooler with a length of up to 385 mm, a power supply unit with a length of up to 180 mm and up to six 2.5inch SSDs or four 3.5inch hard drives. Optimised for excellent cooling performance, the case accommodates up to eleven 140 mm/120 mm fans front, rear, bottom, top and right, as well as AIO coolers up to 360 mm front and rear (one 420 mm AIO).
