With plenty of perforated cutouts, the Ceres 500 TG ARGB is designed with excellent cooling performance.
Our Ceres 500 features ultimate cooling support, besides the four pre-installed CT140 ARGB Sync PC Cooling Fans, the Ceres 500 can also house dual 360mm AIO radiators at the top and at the font. Or, even up to a 420mm AIO radiator can be fitted at the front, giving users plenty opportunities to cool their system with the advanced cooling components.
Ceres 500 TG ARGB features four 140mm ARGB PWM Fans, three at the front and one at the rear. The CT140 ARGB Sync PC Cooling Fan is the best-performing case fan among all the case fans in Thermaltake’s collection so far. 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.
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.
Unique case body is complimented with some metal elements, unlike most of the cases are made of plastic only. The texture of the case pushes its appearance to another level.
Maximize your Ceres 500’s visual effects by upgrading it with our optimal LCD Panel
Kit.
The 3.9” LCD Display allows you to monitor real-time information and upload any images
or GIFs to add extra flair using the TT RGB Plus 2.0 software. It also allows you to
interact with the cooling components that feature the same LCD displays. The latest
version includes weather mode and time mode for users to expand the usage of our LCD
displays.
The 3mm hinged tempered glass panel on the left side offers stunning views and also, the hinged design brings convenience when it comes to removing the side panel.
Rotational PCI-E slots give 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. On the other hand, an attached GPU holder gives support to graphics card for the horizontal installation, users won’t need to worry about the sag caused by heavy graphics cards.
The cooling performance of the Ceres 500 TG ARGB is remarkable thanks to four CT140
ARGB Sync PC Cooling Fans pre-installed.
Besides, more than 60% of its panels are
perforated, providing massive airflow through its perforated cutouts.
At Thermaltake, we always stress test our products under harsh conditions to ensure
product quality.
The Ceres 500 TG ARGB products were tested at 100% full load for 30
minutes, with the most high-end CPU, GPU,
and motherboard at the time of test, while
paring with a consumer-style setup, allowing us to test how the chassis performs
under real-world situations.
