PC Case Thermaltake CTE E600 MX Midi Tower Blue

The Thermaltake CTE E600 MX is a dual-chamber mid-tower PC case in Hydrangea Blue that uses Thermaltake's CTE Form Factor to prioritize thermal performance for critical components. The chassis supports multiple cooling configurations, three-way GPU installation (a 400mm PCIe 4.0 riser cable is included) and interchangeable front panels—tempered glass or perforated—so users can balance appearance and airflow. It accommodates E-ATX/ATX/Micro-ATX/Mini-ITX motherboards and offers space for large radiators, many fans and standard storage drives.

Advantages

The CTE E600 MX delivers centralized thermal efficiency through a 90-degree rotated motherboard layout that separates CPU and GPU airflow paths, improving intake and heat extraction. It offers flexible GPU mounting: floating, vertical (up right) and up-right-forward, enabled by the included 400mm PCIe 4.0 riser cable and floating GPU bracket. Dual interchangeable front panels and plentiful fan and radiator support (up to fourteen 120mm or twelve 140mm fans, and up to 420mm radiators) give users options to optimize cooling or presentation. Additional benefits include removable dust filters, accessible front/top I/O with USB 3.0 and USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, and a right-side chamber for tidy cable management and multiple drive bays.

Suitable for

• High-performance gaming and enthusiast builds requiring advanced cooling
• Custom liquid cooling setups with support for up to 420mm radiators
• Showcase builds that use tempered glass or need flexible GPU display options
• Systems requiring E-ATX or ATX motherboards and large GPUs

How to use

Install the chosen motherboard (E-ATX/ATX/Micro-ATX/Mini-ITX) on the rotated motherboard tray and route cables into the right chamber for neat management. Choose a front panel—tempered glass for display or perforated for improved airflow—and fit fans or radiators according to your cooling plan (front/rear/M/B side support up to 420mm radiators). Mount storage drives in the HDD cage and drive plate in the right chamber. For alternative GPU placements, use the included floating GPU bracket and the pre-configured 400mm PCIe 4.0 riser cable to position the GPU floating or up-right-forward; vertical mounting is also supported. Fit the PSU at the bottom and connect front/top I/O as needed.

Recommendations

For optimal thermal performance, use the perforated front panel when running high-load components or multiple radiators and ensure dust filters are cleaned regularly. When showcasing hardware with the tempered glass panel, verify GPU cooling clearance and consider active intake fans on the front and M/B side to maintain balanced airflow.
