    Cooling Options

    This chassis supports a total of five different radiator mounting positions and fans up to 200mm.  Therefore, saying that the ThermalTake CTE C750TG ARGB offers good cooling is a bit of a misnomer.  The vertical design of the motherboard orientation does promote natural heat convection and allows for air to easily escape out the top of the chassis but, the case offers no way to “flow” air through the case. 

    The multitude of fan mounting positions can be used to create a wall of fans but the open nature to their mountings does nothing short of forcing air to swirl in that general location. 

    Provided you buy into the expected watercooling nature of the CTE chassis design then your primary cooling method will be handled by the array of radiators that you’ll be installing.  Assuming you are cooling both CPU and GPU that leaves the motherboard and any NVMe drives you happen to be using to be cooled by natural airflow.

    The Thermaltake CTE C750TG ARGB claims to offer ARGB lighting support and you will get a total of two (2) 120mm fans with RGB lighted centers.

    I feel that this is a total F*ck you when it comes to cooling as these are not only are these garbage fans but there is not enough of them to cool anything.  Most builders will replace these, or use the fans that come with their AIO cooler making the inclusion of these fans a waste of money and likely something they did for marketing and the computer hypocrites who believe that “every case must come with fans”.

    Due to the size of this case you’ll find a full sized radiator location at the top of the chassis.  If you look carefully you’ll see just how far air has to travel out of the case once it exits the radiator.
