The CTE T500 Air Snow is a specially designed E-ATX full tower chassis from the new CTE form factor series that emphasizes more airflow and is designed to provide high levels of thermal performance to critical components. It comes with three pre-installed 140mm CT140 fans and can support up to a 420mm AIO radiator at the front, and up to a 360mm AIO radiator at the rear.

CTE Form Factor

Designed by Thermaltake

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.
