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.
Maximized Intake
The rotation of the motherboard tray not only allows the CTE design to bring the CPU and GPU close to intake sources but 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.
