About the Thermaltake CTE
Where Style Meets Function
Designed for an exceptional view, The CTE E550 TG Snow 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 Snow is the perfect choice where style meets function.
Visual Perfection
The CTE E550 TG Snow 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 Installation
There 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 GPU
It 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 Motherboards
Created for next-generation motherboards, the CTE E550 TG Snow features a special design that enables support for both standard motherboards and hidden-connector motherboards from ASUS, MSI and GIGABYTE.
Compatible with hidden-connector
motherboards:
ASUS BTF Series
MSI PROJECT ZERO Series

Maximum Radiator Support
The CTE E550 TG Snow 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 Needs
The CTE E550 TG Snow 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 Solutions
The CTE E550 TG Snow 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 Snow 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.
