Manufacturer description

The CORSAIR 3500X is a mid-tower ATX PC case built around a panoramic, wraparound tempered glass front and side, finished here in white. It accepts motherboards from Mini-ITX up to EATX, so one chassis covers anything from a compact build to a full-size board. Cooling is the 3500X's strength. Side, roof, and PSU-area mounting points take up to ten 120mm fans. For liquid cooling, you can fit a 360mm radiator in the roof and another 360mm radiator in the side, and the roof also takes a 280mm radiator. The front is glass rather than mesh, so you plan your intake around the side and bottom fan…

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Corsair 3500X come with any fans?

No. The 3500X ships with no fans, so you need to buy them separately. It has mounting points for up to ten 120mm fans across the side, roof, and PSU area.

What motherboard sizes fit in the 3500X?

The 3500X supports Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX, ATX, and EATX motherboards. It is also validated for ASUS BTF and MSI Project Zero reverse-connection boards.

Can I run two 360mm radiators in the 3500X?

Yes. Corsair lists support for a 360mm radiator in the roof and a 360mm radiator in the side. The roof also accepts a 280mm radiator.

Will a large graphics card and tower CPU cooler fit?

Corsair says the interior fits most large graphics cards and CPU coolers. Check the manufacturer's spec sheet for exact GPU length and cooler height limits before you buy.

Do I need a special motherboard to use the 3500X?

No. Any standard Mini-ITX to EATX board works. A reverse-connection board such as ASUS BTF or MSI Project Zero is optional and hides the connectors behind the motherboard tray for a cable-free view.
