Mid Tower, SPCC/Tempered glass, ATX/E-ATX/Mini ITX/Micro ATX
Description
Where Style Meets FunctionDesigned for an exceptional view, The CTE E550 TG is a dual chamber mid-tower chassis with three TG panels that allows users to display components in style. It supports the latest Hidden-Connector motherboards and offers a three-way GPU installation option, seamlessly blending aesthetics with compatibility. It also excels in cooling support, accommodating up to a 420mm AIO radiator on the M/B side, and up to eight 120mm fans (six 140mm fans) can be installed in the chassis. Combining aesthetics with compatibility, the CTE E550 TG is the perfect choice where style meets function.
Visual PerfectionThe CTE E550 TG is a panoramic mid tower with tempered glass panels on the front, rear and left side. These crystal-clear panels offer an ultra-wide viewing angle normally only available with an open-frame chassis, providing an unparalleled visual display of your internal components.
Display It Your Way: Three-way GPU InstallationThere are three different ways to mount your GPU:
1.Floating GPU:Placing the GPU in the middle of the chassis by using the enclosed floating GPU bracket and our separately sold 400mm long PCI-e 4.0 riser cable
2.Up Right:Hanging the GPU vertically
3.Up Right Forward:Placing it up-right with the graphics card facing forward to the side panel on the rotational PCI-e slots
Flexible Way to Mount Your GPUIt makes it easy to achieve "Floating GPU" and "Up Right Forward" GPU placements with our separately sold 400mm PCI-e 4.0 riser cable. The PCI-e 4.0 standard-compliant riser cable offers a 16 GT/s transfer rate and supports up to 64 GB/s (bidirectional) data transfer.
Compatible with Hidden-Connector MotherboardsCreated for next-generation motherboards, the CTE E550 TG features a special design that enables support for both standard motherboards and hidden-connector motherboards from ASUS, MSI and GIGABYTE.
Maximum Radiator SupportThe CTE E550 TG offers multiple mounting locations and plenty of room to create your own configurations. DIY radiators up to 420mm in length can be installed on the bottom and M/B side, and for AIO compatibility, up to 420mm/360mm radiators can be installed on the M/B side, giving PC enthusiasts plenty of flexibility to create their ideal setup.
Fits Your NeedsThe CTE E550 TG provides excellent cooling support, accommodating up to six 140mm/120mm fans on the M/B side and bottom, along with two 120mm fans at the top. Additionally, the chassis supports radiators up to 420mm in length on both the bottom and motherboard side to ensure the best cooling configuration for your system.
Excellent Hardware Support & Cooling SolutionsThe CTE E550 TG has excellent expandability, allowing you to build the most high-end system you can dream of. It can support up to an E-ATX (12”x10.5”) motherboard, a CPU cooler with a maximum height of 166mm, VGA clearance up to 443.8mm in length without a radiator, a power supply with a length of up to 220mm, and up to two 2.5” SSD or three 3.5” HDD. Optimized for superior cooling, the CTE E550 TG can accommodate up to eight 120mm fans (six 140mm fans), a 240mm AIO cooler at the top, and 360mm/420mm AIO coolers on the M/B side, allowing users to build their desired high-end system with many options.
We've Tested Everything, So You Don’t Have ToAt Thermaltake, we always stress test our products under harsh conditions to ensure product quality. CTE E550 TG 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.
How Much Storage Is Totally up to YouIn the right chamber of CTE E550 TG, you can put on up to two 3.5” hard drives in the HDD Cage and two 2.5” drives or one 3.5” hard drives on the Drive Plate.
Optimal Cable ManagementThanks to the dual chamber design, the CTE E550 TG offers ample space in the right chamber for effective cable management. Numerous anchor points are available in this chamber, complimented with Velcro straps and cable ties from the accessory box to insure a neat and organized setup.
Everything You Need Is Located In One PlaceTwo USB 3.0 ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, and HD Audio ports are placed on the top panel to grant direct access when needed.
Perfect Dust ProtectionThere are fine removable filters at the top, bottom and right side of the chassis to provide excellent protection against dust, and they are easily removable for cleaning.
