Corsair Unveils Enhanced 3500X Mid-Tower Case with Reverse Rotor Fans
Corsair has introduced the latest iteration of its popular 3500X mid-tower PC case, now featuring reverse rotor fans and a suite of thoughtful upgrades designed to elevate both aesthetics and performance. The refreshed 3500X is available with either iCUE LINK LX-R RGB fans or RS-R ARGB fans, and now includes a GPU anti-sag bracket and double-shot grommets for a cleaner, more organized build.
Showcase Your Build with Panoramic Glass Panels
Staying true to its original design philosophy, the updated 3500X offers dual tempered-glass panels that provide a wraparound, unobstructed view of your components. The absence of a front column ensures nothing blocks the vibrant RGB lighting from the three pre-installed reverse rotor fans. To maintain a streamlined appearance, the motherboard tray is equipped with double-shot grommets and a spacious cable channel, making cable management straightforward and effective.
The 3500X is also validated for use with the latest reverse connector motherboards, including ASUS BTF, MSI Project Zero, and Gigabyte Project Stealth. This compatibility allows builders to keep core cables hidden, resulting in a cleaner and more visually appealing system.
Advanced Cooling and Lighting Options
Users can choose between two fan configurations: three iCUE LINK LX120-R RGB fans or three RS120-R ARGB fans. The LX120-R variant comes with a pre-installed iCUE LINK System Hub, making it an excellent choice for those invested in the iCUE LINK ecosystem. This setup minimizes cable clutter and simplifies future upgrades. The RS120-R ARGB version supports daisy-chained PWM and ARGB connections, enabling direct control and lighting customization via the motherboard.
Regardless of the chosen fan option, the 3500X offers extensive airflow potential, with mounting points for up to ten 120 mm fans and support for multiple radiators up to 360 mm on the side or top. This ensures that high-performance systems remain cool while maintaining a striking visual presence.
Designed for Easy Building and Upgrades
The Corsair 3500X provides ample space for large graphics cards up to 410 mm (16.1 inches) in length and includes a pre-installed GPU anti-sag bracket to protect your graphics card and PCIe slot. Tool-free front and side panels make accessing and upgrading components simple and efficient.
The modern front I/O panel offers convenient access to essential ports, including USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, and a combination audio jack. The case is available in both black and white finishes to complement a variety of setups.
Availability and Support
The Corsair 3500X mid-tower case is available now through the Corsair webstore and authorized retailers worldwide. Each case is backed by a two-year warranty and supported by Corsair’s global customer service and technical support network.
