The CTE T500 TG ARGB Snow is a full-tower E-ATX case built around Thermaltake's CTE layout, which rotates the motherboard 90 degrees so the CPU and GPU sit close to dedicated front and rear intakes. It ships with three ARGB fans and a tempered glass side panel, and it fits up to a 420mm radiator up front plus a 360mm in the rear. That airflow-first design suits builders chasing low GPU and CPU temperatures, especially with big radiators. The trade-off is size and weight: it is a large, heavy case with a layout that takes some getting used to, and it is not soundproofed. Against conventional full towers it wins on cooling headroom but asks more of your desk and your build planning.

Owners of CTE cases generally report strong GPU and CPU temperatures and like the included ARGB fans and white finish. The recurring complaints are the case's bulk and the learning curve of building in a rotated layout.
CTE Form Factor Designed by Thermaltake The focus for CTE (Centralized Thermal Efficiency) was to provide a high level of thermal performance by altering our approach to traditional case design. The result was a design that utilizes a 90-degree rotated motherboard tray to provide not only more airflow pathways but also more efficient airflow pathways. With the new fan trays being able to accept up to three 140mm or 120mm fans as well as up to a 420mm AIO Radiator the CTE chassis provides lots of options whether you choose Air, AIO, or DIY Liquid Cooling for your build. Since the motherboard tray has been rotated, direct intake airflow from each of the motherboard trays can more efficiently be directed toward components like the CPU and GPU and then exhausted with the assistance of natural convection. The design utilizes a 90-degree rotation of the motherboard providing more efficient airflow pathways. Optimized Intake The rotation of the motherboard tray not only allows the CTE design to bring the CPU and GPU closer to the intake sources but goes one step further in providing each their own dedicated intake. The CTE T500 TG ARGB supports up to three 140mm/120mm fans or up to420mm radiators on the front and an additional three 140mm/120mm fans or up to a 360mm radiator in the rear. Central Thermal Efficiency Now that primary heat sources have been centralized in the chassis, intake and exhaust can both benefit from shortened and optimized air pathways located at the front, top, rear and bottom. Create and Display Designed to meet the needs of All-in-One, custom liquid cooling as well as air cooling solutions, the CTE T500 features a 4mm Tempered Glass as well as side panels engineered for ventilation. Providing both great airflow and great views to your build inside. Maximum Radiator Support To keep in line with the previous CTE chassis, the T500 focuses on the front and rear mounting locations that can support up to a 420mm radiator up front and up to a 360mm radiator in the rear as well as mounting 120mm radiators at the top and bottom. Perfect for builds that want to take advantage of more than one radiator while still maintaining great airflow. Options to Fit Your Dream Build With features like enough space to accommodate up to 11 fans, a rotating PCI-E tray and riser bracket, removable pump and reservoir bracket, and two removable fan brackets the T500 has what it takes to fit everything you want for your dream build. Fans can be mounted on the front and rear of the chassis via a removable fan brackets, on the bottom of the chassis either on top of the HDD cover or on the direct bottom of the case, the top of the chassis both next to the rear I/O as well as the PCI-E section, and finally there is an additional fan mount behind the motherboard.
