Thermaltake CTE T500 Air Black

Thermaltake CTE T500 Air, Full-Tower Case, black

The CTE T500 Air Snow is a specially designed E-ATX full-tower case from the CTE form factor series and was designed to provide a high level of thermal performance to critical components. It comes with three pre-installed 140 mm CT140 fans.

CTE Form Factor

The CTE form factor, developed by Thermaltake, stands for Centralized Thermal Efficiency and focuses on providing high thermal performance for critical components. The design utilizes a 90-degree rotation of the motherboard to create more efficient airflow paths.

Since the CPU position was moved much closer to the front and the graphics card closer to the rear, an independent cold air intake for heat dissipation of CPU and graphics card is enabled. This overall approach allowed CTE to achieve better and more efficient airflow by placing the main components and cooling system and optimizing heat dissipation from the system.

Design and present your desired system

The versatile interior of the CTE T500 Air was specially designed for the requirements of all-in-one and custom liquid cooling systems and features a 4 mm thick tempered glass panel on the left side that allows the user to view and admire all components in their full glory.

Space for cooling components

The CTE T500 full-tower case features a huge fan and cooler installation capacity: Up to eleven 140 mm/120 mm fans and 360 mm AIO coolers at various positions (a 420 mm AIO cooler at the front). In addition, fan mounts at the front and rear as well as mounting points at the top, right side and lid allow easy installation of all desired cooling components.

Three pre-installed 140 mm fans

The CTE T500 Air full-tower case features three 140 mm PWM fans at the front, top and rear. The CT140 fans are particularly powerful case fans.

Expansion options at the highest level

The full-tower (CA-1X8-00F6WN-01) is excellently expandable, allowing you to accommodate as many components in your dream case as you want. It supports up to an E-ATX motherboard (12 x 13 inches), a CPU cooler with a maximum height of 195 mm, a GPU cooler with a length of up to 385 mm, a power supply with a length of up to 180 mm and up to six 2.5-inch SSDs or four 3.5-inch hard drives. The case optimized for excellent cooling performance offers space for up to eleven 140 mm/120 mm fans at the front, rear, bottom, top and right as well as AIO coolers with up to 360 mm at the front and rear (a 420 mm AIO).
