Thermaltake CTE E550 TG Mid Tower ATX Case

The Thermaltake CTE E550 TG is a dual-chamber mid-tower chassis built for ATX motherboards. Three tempered glass panels provide a panoramic view of internal components. It targets builders who want a showcase layout with structured cable routing and flexible graphics card positioning.

Hidden-connector motherboard support

The case fits ASUS BTF, MSI PROJECT ZERO, and GIGABYTE PROJECT STEALTH boards that route power and data cables behind the tray. Rotational PCIe slots and a floating VGA bracket allow vertical, upright, or horizontal graphics card orientation. A separately sold 400 mm PCIe 4.0 riser cable is required for the vertical and floating layouts.

Cooling capacity defined by 420 mm radiator limit

The chassis supports radiators up to 420 mm on the motherboard side and holds up to six 140 mm fans or eight 120 mm fans in total. Front I/O provides two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, and HD Audio. Builders who need more than three glass panels or integrated fans must choose a different enclosure.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 22 inch wide version or a narrower one?

The CTE E550 TG is a single model measuring 22 inches wide, 10.6 inches deep and 20.2 inches tall; no alternative widths are offered.

What does the 420 mm radiator limit mean for my build?

It allows a 420 mm AIO on the motherboard side, giving plenty of surface area for high-wattage CPUs while the dual-chamber layout keeps tubing tidy.

Will the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port run at full 10 Gbps on my motherboard?

The front-panel Type-C is wired for USB 3.2 Gen 2, so it delivers 10 Gbps when connected to a matching motherboard header.
