The CTE Form Factor design of the CTE C700, which stands for Centralized Thermal Efficiency, aims to generate a more efficient airflow pathway by rotating the motherboard 90 degrees. This design allows the CPU and graphics card, the critical heat sources, to be moved much closer to the ventilation on the front and rear sides of the chassis respectively. Furthermore, combined with the dual chamber design, the CTE C700 has wide-open space for a variety of cooler sizes and can draw air from three directions (front, bottom, and the rear side). With a large cooling capacity, the CTE C700 can house up to twelve 120mm/ eleven 140mm fans in total or 420mm AIO radiators on the front and rear sides. Additionally, out of the box three CT140 ARGB fans are pre-installed in the CTE C700 TG ARGB and three CT140 fans are pre-installed in the CTE C700 Air, these fans are Thermaltake’s new case fans made with specially tuned fan blades, and the 1500 maximum RPM fan can push the air further.
The CTE C700 is a user-friendly chassis that already considers your needs. To ease the cooler installation, the CTE C700 is equipped with fan brackets at the front, bottom, rear sides and also has additional fan brackets located on top of the PCIe slots and behind the motherboard for extra airflow. Moreover, the built-in pump & reservoir bracket on the bottom of the chassis can offer DIY lovers great support for their custom liquid cooling build. On top of that, if you prefer installing a VGA card vertically, you can simply swap the pre-installed PCI-e slots with the vertical VGA mounting kit in the package. To reach superior cable management, you can properly place the components in the huge right chamber separated by the dual chamber design and can tie things up with the Velcro straps and cable ties in the accessory box. Besides that, the removable filters on all the ventilation can protect your system from dust invasion. After finishing the PC build, the 4 mm thick tempered glass panel on the left side of the CTE C700 allows you to fully display your fancy inner components. Aside from that, the CTE C700 comes with two USB 3.0 Type-A, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, and one HD audio jack to meet the functional requirements.
Featuring Thermaltake’s innovative CTE Form Factor design, dual chamber design, and high cooler installation capacity, the CTE C700 Mid Tower Chassis series achieves exceptional thermal efficiency. Attributed to high installation flexibility and tempered glass window panels, this chassis can maintain a perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics. No matter if you want to build with advanced hardware, dual AIO configurations, or DIY liquid cooling, the CTE C700 is the ultimate showcase for your battle station!
Features of the CTE C700 Mid Tower Chassis:
90-Degree Rotation of the Motherboard
The CTE design utilizes a 90-degree rotation of the motherboard providing a more efficient airflow pathway and allowing the cold air to be dispersed on your critical components more effectively and efficiently.
Move Critical Heat Sources (CPU And Graphic Cards) Closer Towards Cool Air
Since the CPU location of the CTE C700 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.
More Efficient Intake Airflow
This overall approach has allowed CTE C700 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.
Create and Display Your Dream Build
Framed to fit your view, the CTE C700 TG ARGB comes with two 4mm tempered glass panels located on the front and left side of the chassis; the CTE C700 Air features one 4mm tempered glass panels on the left side 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.
All Your Dream Cooling Components Can Fit!
The CTE C700 has enormous fan and cooler installation capacity: up to twelve 120mm fans (eleven140mm fans) and 360mm/420mm AIO coolers at the front and the rear. Moreover, equipped fan brackets at the front, rear, bottom and right side, and the installation spot at the top ensure easy installation of all your desired cooling components.
Blow Your World Away with Three Pre-installed 140mm CT140 Fans
The CTE C700 TG ARGB features three 140mm ARGB PWM Fans at the front, top and rear. The LED lighting effects can be manipulated with motherboard supported software. Users can create an amazing RGB lighting show while enjoying the utmost cooling performance at the same time. The CTE C700 Air features three 140mm PWM Fans at the front, top and rear. The CT140 fans are the best-performing case fans among all the case fans in Thermaltake's collection so far.
Unify Your Fans with Your Build!
Thermaltake launches brand-new CT series fans, allowing users to choose from black or white, RGB or non-RGB, to match whatever color scheme you have.
Massive Airflow & Incredible Performance
Thermal images taken during thermal testing. Thanks to its CTE form factor design and three pre-installed CT140 PC Cooling Fans, we were able to ensure that the CTE C700 has massive airflow, guaranteeing amazing cooling performance that keeps the internal temperature low and stable while using the most high-end components.
Display Graphics Card Your Way
Equipped with two different PCI-E slots, the CTE C700 gives you the option to display your graphics card either horizontally or vertically, creating plenty of flexible space for your system. If you choose to install your graphics card vertically, there is an extra riser cable bracket allows both 90 degree or 180-degree riser cable installation.
Opportunities For High-End Expansion
The CTE C700 offers excellent expandability, allowing you to build the most high-end system you can dream of. It can support up to an E-ATX (12”x13”) motherboard, a CPU cooler with a maximum height of 190mm, graphics card clearance up to 410mm in length without a radiator, a power supply with a length of up to 220mm, and up to six 2.5” SSD or seven 3.5” HDD. Optimized for excellent cooling capabilities, the CTE C700 can accommodate up to twelve 120mm fans or eleven 140mm fans, and 360mm/420mm AIO coolers at the front and the rear, providing PC enthusiasts with many options and flexibility to organize their configuration.
