CTE E550 TG Matcha Green Mid Tower Chassis
Where Style Meets Function
Designed for an exceptional view, The CTE E550 TG Matcha Green 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 Matcha Green is the perfect choice where style meets function.
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
1. Floating GPU
2. Up Right
3. Up Right Forward
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.

We've Tested Everything, So You Don’t Have To
At Thermaltake, we always stress test our products under harsh conditions to ensure product quality. CTE E550 TG products were tested at 100% full load for 30 minutes, with the most high-end CPU, GPU, and motherboard at the time of test, while paring with a consumer-style setup, allowing us to test how the chassis performs under real-world situations.
Optimal Cable Management
Thanks to the dual chamber design, the CTE E550 TG Matcha Green offers ample space in the right chamber for effective cable management. Numerous anchor points are available in this chamber, complimented with Velcro straps and cable ties from the accessory box to insure a neat and organized setup.
Everything You Need Is Located In One Place
Two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, and HD Audio ports are placed on the top panel to grant direct access when needed.
Perfect Dust Protection
There are fine removable filters at the top, bottom and right side of the chassis to provide excellent protection against dust, and they are easily removable for cleaning.
