CTE E660 MX
Design Your Best PC Configuration
The CTE E660 MX Hydrangea Blue supports both ASUS and MSI Hidden-Connector motherboards (ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO BTF, ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-BTF WIFI or MSI Z790 PROJECT ZERO), and features a three-way GPU installation option (with a 400mm riser cable included) and an interchangeable dual front panel design. Additionally, the CTE E660 MX Hydrangea Blue offers excellent support on cooling solutions: up to a 420mm AIO radiator can be placed at the front, rear and the M/B side, and up to fourteen 120mm fans or twelve 140mm fans can be installed in the chassis. With both aesthetics and the compatibility, the CTE E660 MX Hydrangea Blue gives users maximum flexibility to customize their setup.
Compatible with Hidden-Connector Motherboards
Created for next-generation Hidden-Connector motherboards, the CTE E660 MX Hydrangea Blue features a special design that enables support for both standard motherboards and hidden-connector motherboards from ASUS and MSI.
*Compatible with hidden-connector motherboards:
ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO BTF
ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-BTF WIFI
MSI Z790 PROJECT ZERO
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 pre-configured 400mm long PCI-e 4.0 riser cable
2.Up Right: Hanging the GPU vertically
3.Right Forward: Placing it up-right with the graphics card facing forward to the side panel on the rotational PCI-e slots

PCI-e 4.0 Riser Cable and Floating GPU Bracket Included
A pre-configured 400mm PCI-e 4.0 riser cable makes it easy to achieve "floating GPU“ and “Up Right Forward” GPU placements. The riser cable complies with PCI-e 4.0 Standards, offering a 16GT/s transfer rate and supporting up to 64 GB/s (bi-directional) data transmission.

Maximum Radiator Support
The CTE E660 MX Hydrangea Blue 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 front, rear, bottom and M/B side, and for AIO compatibility, up to 420mm/360mm radiators can be installed on the front, rear and M/B side, giving PC enthusiasts plenty of flexibility to create their ideal setup.

CTE Form Factor
Designed by Thermaltake
The CTE Form Factor Designed by Thermaltake,
stands for Centralized Thermal Efficiency, and is focused around providing high level
thermal performance to critical components. The design utilizes a 90-degree rotation of the
motherboard providing more efficient airflow pathways.
Since the CPU location has been moved much closer to the front panel and the graphics card
moved closer towards the rear panel, independent cold air induction is given for thermal
dissipation of the CPU and graphics card respectively. This overall approach has allowed CTE
to provide better and more efficient intake airflow through the placement of main components
and cooling, as well as optimization to heat extraction from the system.
