Know before you buy
The 90-degree rotation is part of Thermaltake's Centralized Thermal Efficiency (CTE) design. It repositions your components to align heat sources with natural airflow paths, allowing for more efficient cooling compared to a traditional layout.
Yes, the CTE E600 MX is fully compatible with hidden-connector motherboards, allowing for a cleaner build by routing cables behind the motherboard tray.
The case is highly versatile for cooling, supporting up to fourteen 120mm fans throughout the chassis to ensure maximum airflow for high-performance builds.
Yes, the chassis offers three distinct GPU mounting orientations. It also includes a 400mm PCI-e 4.0 riser cable, so you are ready for a vertical or custom orientation right out of the box.
The CTE E600 MX supports radiators up to 420mm, providing plenty of room for large AIO liquid coolers or custom water-cooling loops.
Maintenance is straightforward thanks to removable dust filters located on five sides of the case. These filters are designed to be easily accessible, helping you keep dust buildup to a minimum.
