Final Words & Conclusion

It’s time for the conclusion. Overall, the Thermaltake CTE C750 TG ARGB is a very versatile chassis. You get a ton of space for the graphics card, air CPU cooler, and liquid cooling solutions. You can put three 420 mm AIOs here (or three 360 mm radiators + 240 mm at the top of the chassis).

The build quality is very good. The internal layout is non-typical (it has been turned by 90 degrees), as it’s an (E-)ATX chassis. You do get three RGB fans (but most probably, the customers would swap the bundled ones to their preferred ones). There’s no built-in ARGB controller or fan controller, especially the last one, which would come in handy (due to the space for up to ten fans); you also don’t get the PCIe riser.

Features

There’s enough space for up to 370 mm long GPUs (420 without the bottom radiator), 190 mm tall CPU coolers, and 220 mm long PSUs (a great result). Installing 7 x 3.5” or 12 x 2.5” drives is possible. You can mount up to even the E-ATX board here. The size is more than enough for typical builds. The liquid cooling capacity is great because you can install a 360 mm rad/420 mm AIO on the front/side/back and a 240 mm radiator at the top. The I/O panel has four USB 3.0 ports (but you need a motherboard with more headers), a USB 3.1 Type-C, a microphone and audio jack, and a power button. You get the dust filter on all intake areas.

Aesthetics

Looks are always a subjective matter. The new CTE C750 TG ARGB design is a giant (especially due to width) but still quite attractive..

Performance

The temperatures are very good, and the bundle has three fans. It’s possible to mount an overall fourteen (yes!).

The Verdict

The Thermaltake CTE C750 TG ARGB is an E-ATX-compatible (spacious) full-tower chassis measuring 565.2 × 327 × 599.2 mm(L × W × H)). It looks very nice and mainly stands out from the crowd due to the size (especially the width). The build quality is great. The final build result looks clean. You have three RGB fans in the bundle (but most probably, the customers would buy the ones they like/prefer). Installing a combo of 360+360+360+240 water cooling radiators (or three 420 mm AIO + 240 mm) is an option. If you prefer air cooling – even the 190 mm products will fit; that should fit practically all the models. As for the power supply –it’s 220 mm (so all commonly used PSUs would work; even the 1600 W units don’t exceed 210 mm). Speaking of the storage options – you can mount 7 x 3.5” or 12 x 2.5” drives, which should be enough for most buyers. The chassis costs 199.99 USD, which sounds very reasonable for the things you get. You get good quality, nice features, and performance (temperature/noise ratio). It’s a pity that you don’t get a riser cable (but it would certainly make the price higher, and it’s not a must in this case for the GPU), but at least the fan hub would be nice to have (and the RGB too). From the not-so-positive things, there’s quite a big cable clutter at the back of the chassis (luckily, there’s plenty of space for that, and there are velcro strips, grommets, and hooks for zip ties). Another thing is that it’s quite plasticky; more metal (for example, for the front panel) would be appreciated. Despite some flaws, it deserves a “Silver” award (an equivalent of the “Recommended”), as we appreciate the performance, flexibility, and innovations brought up here (yes, the 90-degree chassis is not something new, but there were no with such great fan/LC capabilities).

One important remark at the end -> some reviews/reports show worse GPU temperature/noise performance in this chassis. This was not the case in this test, but it's most probably the orientation of the heat pipes on the graphics card cooling that can be affected by the orientation of the GPU.
