What customers say
Consumers consistently praise the CTE E660 MX for its exceptional design philosophy, particularly the 90 degree motherboard rotation which dramatically improves thermal performance. The Racing Green colorway is a hit, offering a sophisticated aesthetic that stands out from typical black cases. Builders appreciate the premium build quality and the vast interior space, making component installation and cable routing surprisingly easy despite the chassis's large footprint. While the size requires careful desk planning, the superior cooling potential and striking visual appeal make this chassis a highly recommended foundation for high end builds.
Know before you buy
The 90-degree rotation aligns the graphics card and CPU with the natural flow of heat, which rises upward. This orientation allows the case to pull cool air from the bottom and exhaust it out the top, significantly improving thermal performance for high-end components.
Yes, the CTE E660 MX is designed to accommodate hidden-connector motherboards. This allows you to route cables behind the motherboard tray for a cleaner, cable-free aesthetic in the main chamber.
Absolutely. The case supports multiple GPU installation orientations and includes a PCI-e 4.0 riser cable, giving you the flexibility to mount your graphics card vertically to showcase its design.
This chassis is built for high-performance cooling and supports radiators up to 420mm. This provides plenty of space for large AIO liquid coolers or custom cooling loops.
The interchangeable front panels allow you to choose between aesthetics and airflow. You can swap them based on your preference for a sleek, closed look or a mesh-style panel that maximizes intake for better cooling.
The case accommodates CPU air coolers with a maximum height of 166mm. Most standard high-performance air coolers will fit comfortably, but it is always best to double-check your specific cooler's height specifications.
