Unify Your Look with Our New Chassis
Have you ever felt troubled seeing nice pre-installed fans in the chassis and found out they don’t come in individual packages?
CT Series Fans allow you to pair up your fans without switching out any pre-installed fans granting freedom to unify your display within your chassis. More chassis pre-installed with the CT Series fans are on their way!
Detailed Craftsmanship Pushes Through Limits
After numerous research, tests, and modifications, we finally tuned our CT series fan blades to meet our expectations and beyond their limits. These nine fan blade structured fans can provide a 1.92 mm-H2O static pressure and an airflow of 131.6 CFM while maintaining its noise level at 27.2 dB-A, allowing you to enjoy these well-balanced performance fans under a friendly budget.
Less Clutter with Cable-Integrated Daisy-Chain Design
The new cable-integrated daisy-chain design allows the fans to be directly connected, so it minimizes demands of 4-pin PWM and 3-pin ARGB ports on your motherboard and shortens the cable length between the fans. We’ve also included a 900mm PWM cable and a 900mm ARGB cable for you to easily manage your cables while assembling your build.
A little Surprise for Extra Security
CT Series Fans are equipped with round anti-vibration rubber pads on each of the fan’s corners. They are designed to be stable and dampen the fan’s vibration, allowing the fans to spin at a higher speeds under certain noise levels.
Keeping Your Cables in Place
You might have experienced easily detached 5V ARGB cables when you assemble your builds. Worry not; this 5V ARGB Connector Clip can guarantee that the cables are correctly connected and won’t get loose in unexpected conditions.
Spectacular Lighting Effects
Features 9 addressable LEDs for users to build up spectacular lighting effects through 5V motherboard sync software, providing great coverage of 16.8 million uniformity colors. The CT200 ARGB Sync Fans now support ASUS, MSI, GIGABYTE, BIOSTAR, and ASROCK sync software.
Note: This product requires motherboard sync for ARGB lighting effects
Where Style Meets Function
Designed for an exceptional view, The CTE E550 TG Gravel Sand 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 Gravel Sand 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
