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.

Maximized Intake

The rotation of the motherboard tray not only allows the CTE design to bring the CPU and GPU closer to intake sources but also goes one step further in providing them each their own intake sources with space for up to three 140mm/120mm fans or a radiator up to 420mm.

Central Thermal Efficiency

Now that primary heat sources have been centralized in the chassis the additional intake located at the bottom of the case can also assist the dedicated exhaust at the top of the case in removing heat from the system. Combined with the shorter air pathways throughout the chassis the CTE line up is very good with intake and exhaust while still providing plenty of room to build in.

Create and Display Your Dream Build

Framed to fit your view, the CTE C700 Air comes with one 4mm tempered glass panels located on the left of the chassis. Show off everything from full custom liquid cooling loops to fancy AIOs and fans. To make removing the tempered glass easy there is a small tab located on the upper left corner and to hold things back in place the tempered glass panel snaps back in utilizing peg hooks, which are located on the rest of the panels of chassis as well.

Maximum Radiator Support

The CTE C700 offers multiple mounting locations and plenty of room to create your own configurations. DIY radiators up to 360mm in length can be installed on the front, rear and bottom, and for AIO compatibility, up to 420mm/360mm radiators can be installed on the front and rear, giving PC enthusiasts plenty of flexibility to create their ideal setup.

Options to Fit Your Dream Build

The CTE C700 TG comes equipped with features such as enough space to accommodate up to twelve 120mm fans and eleven 140mm fans, removable fan trays and pump mounts, as well as accepting 360mm/420mm radiators at the front and rear and 360mm radiators on the bottom of the chassis.

Three Pre-Installed 140mm CT140 Fans

Our new CT series fans offer great performance and beautiful LED effects and we have included three of the 140mm series to give you a start. With standard 4-Pin PWM connectors set up is simple and benefits from a variety of ways to control your fan speeds through motherboard software.
