Yesterday we saw the unveiling of Thermaltake's new CTE form factor case series. Now, Leo has arrived at the company's suite at CES to take a closer look, alongside a number of other new products on the way, ranging from new fans and coolers to new RAM, PSUs, and even a new TT desk.

The CTE series spans six cases at present, including the CTE C750 Air, CTE C750 TG ARGB, CTE C700 Air, CTE C700 TG ARGB, CTE T500 Air and the CTE T500 TG ARGB. The CTE Form Factor Series sets itself apart by rotating the motherboard 90 degrees, allowing for more efficient airflow pathways.
The CTE 750 is the flagship here, offering tons of water cooling support, including up to 420mm radiators and dual chambers for easier cable management. The C700 is a similar-looking case, but shrunk down to a more sensible size, which in turn lowers maximum radiator and fan support. The T500 is another shrunk-down case with a bigger focus on tall design, with a removable fan shroud area near the PSU shroud – importantly, this one is not dual-chamber. All three of these cases will be available in an AIR version with mesh panels, or a TG version with a tempered glass side panel.
Finally, we have the Ceres 500 and Tower 200 cases. The first uses a standard case design but with a metal structure on the front to add some extra visual flair and can be equipped with the Ceres 5000 LCD panel kit for an additional on-system display to show important metrics like system temperatures. The Tower 200 on the other hand is a smaller version of the Tower 500, although it is still big enough to house an RTX 4090 graphics card.
On the lifestyle front, Thermaltake has two new products – the Cycledesk 100 and the new TT 100 Bike Backpack. The Cycledesk is exactly what it sounds like – it is a desk with a bike attached to it, with the idea being that you can remain active while at your desk.
On to new coolers, Thermaltake is debuting the new ToughLiquid Ultra 420, a 420mm version of the AIO cooler with a 2.1-inch LCD screen on the CPU block. Additionally, TT has unveiled several new Distro Plates for liquid cooling, and the new Pacific TF3 liquid cooling system dashboard, which sits in a 120mm fan mount and displays ambient and coolant temperatures and possibly even pressure so you can monitor your loop for any signs of trouble.
For fans, TT has the new SWAFAN GT, with swappable blades so you can set it in normal or reverse direction, or you can opt for higher air pressure instead. The SWAFAN EX are similar but magnetic, allowing you to link up to three fans together with a single cable.
On the air cooling front, you'll find the new Thermaltake Toughair 710 and Toughair TRX40 CPU coolers, filling in the air cooling gap in TT's product lineup.
Finally, we also have new DDR5 ToughRAM with up to 6600MT/s speeds and three new ATX 3.0 power supplies – the Toughpower PF3 Platinum, the GF3 ARGB Gold and the SFX Platinum, which will be available on the market in the next few months.
