Introduction

I would like to thank Corsair for supplying the review sample.


The 3500X is part of the latest push from Corsair after a short stint with very few product announcements, followed by their iCUE Link launch. After that, there was a focus on cooling products, and we are finally seeing a few more cases hit the market. The Corsair 3500X can be considered a slimmer & taller option to the 6500X, which in turn is a dual-chamber chassis. Available in three flavors - each in either black or white, for a total of six SKUs, you can get it as the bare 3500 without any fans, the 3500X ARGB with ARGB equipped cooling units or RGB which utilizes iCUE Link fans. We have the Corsair 3500X ARGB for review in the black color option.

Specifications

Packaging

The 3500X ships in the same type of box we have seen from other Corsair cases in recent times. The larger sides simply sport the company logo and the case model name. On the opposite side, there is just a blank canvas - no spec table or larger depiction of the enclosure.


The Corsair 3500X ARGB is held in place with thick, solid Styrofoam spacers. A plastic bag has been used to protect the chassis from scratches and fingerprints during the packing process.
