Corsair 3500X LX-R RGB iCUE LINK Mid-Tower PC Case — Black
The Corsair 3500X LX-R RGB iCUE LINK combines a panoramic wraparound-glass presentation with three premium reverse-rotor RGB fans and Corsair’s streamlined single-cable component ecosystem. Removable front and side tempered-glass panels provide a wide view of the motherboard, graphics card, cooling system, and lighting while keeping the interior easy to access.
Three pre-installed iCUE LINK LX120-R RGB fans operate as side intake fans while keeping their illuminated side visible through the glass. The included iCUE LINK System Hub enables unified fan-speed, lighting, and sensor control through Corsair iCUE software. Support for reverse-connector motherboards, 360mm radiators, large graphics cards, and vertical GPU installation makes the 3500X a strong foundation for a clean modern gaming or creator PC.
Unified software control and simplified compatible-component cabling are included.
Extensive roof, side, bottom, PSU-shroud, and rear cooling support.
Large liquid coolers fit on both the roof and side mounting areas.
Wraparound Glass with Easy Component Access
Removable front and left tempered-glass panels create a wide uninterrupted view of the system while simplifying component installation, cable adjustments, cleaning, and future upgrades.
Front and Side Tempered Glass
The dual-panel viewing area highlights the graphics card, motherboard, memory, cooling hardware, and RGB lighting from multiple angles.
Removable Showcase Panels
Both glass panels can be removed for easier assembly, maintenance, cleaning, and troubleshooting.
Dedicated Side Intake
Fresh air enters beside the motherboard through the three included reverse-rotor intake fans rather than through the glass front.
Black Showcase Finish
The dark steel frame creates a deep background that emphasizes illuminated fans, premium components, and coordinated RGB effects.
Three iCUE LINK LX120-R RGB Fans Included
The included LX120-R fans combine reverse airflow, dual RGB light loops, high static pressure, magnetic dome bearings, and direct iCUE LINK connectivity.
Reverse-Rotor Intake Design
The fan blades draw air into the case while keeping the cleaner illuminated side visible through the tempered glass.
18 RGB LEDs per Fan
Dual light loops provide bright synchronized effects and support Corsair iCUE lighting profiles.
400–2400 RPM PWM Range
Wide speed control allows the system to balance low-noise operation with stronger airflow under heavy load.
Magnetic Dome Bearings
Low-friction bearing technology is designed for smooth operation and long-term reliability.
Up to 66.7 CFM
Each fan can provide strong airflow for the graphics card, motherboard, and surrounding components.
Up to 4.72mm H₂O
High static pressure helps the fans move air effectively through filtered intakes and restricted mounting areas.
iCUE LINK System Hub Included
The included hub automatically detects compatible iCUE LINK components and centralizes lighting, performance, and sensor control through Corsair iCUE software.
Universal iCUE LINK Connection
Compatible fans, liquid coolers, and accessories connect directly to one another through the same ecosystem.
Reduced Cable Clutter
Linked components require fewer individual motherboard and controller cables than conventional fan-and-RGB installations.
Unified iCUE Software Control
Configure lighting effects, fan curves, device behavior, and supported sensor data from one application.
Time Warp Lighting Support
Compatible LX-R fans support advanced iCUE effects, including optical-illusion lighting modes.
Key Features
A complete combination of panoramic glass, premium reverse-rotor fans, iCUE LINK integration, extensive cooling support, modern component clearance, and reverse-connector motherboard compatibility.
Up to Ten 120mm Fans and Dual 360mm Radiators
The side and roof provide the primary large cooling zones, while bottom, PSU-shroud, and rear positions allow builders to shape airflow around the graphics card and motherboard.
Side 360mm Radiator
The side mount supports 240mm, 280mm, or 360mm radiators and is occupied by the three included LX120-R fans out of the box.
Top 360mm Radiator
The roof supports 240mm, 280mm, or 360mm liquid coolers for high-performance CPU cooling.
Bottom and PSU-Shroud Airflow
One bottom fan and two PSU-shroud fans can direct additional airflow toward the graphics card.
Rear 120mm Exhaust
The rear position supports one 120mm fan or compact 120mm radiator.
Reverse-Connector Ready with Vertical GPU Support
Back-connect motherboard compatibility helps hide major connections, while the four-slot vertical configuration provides another way to showcase a graphics card.
ASUS BTF Compatibility
Compatible ASUS reverse-connector motherboards can route major connections behind the tray.
MSI Project Zero Compatibility
Supported MSI back-connect boards reduce visible cable clutter in the showcase chamber.
Gigabyte Project Stealth Compatibility
The motherboard tray includes the cutouts needed for compatible Gigabyte reverse-connector designs.
Four-Slot Vertical GPU Layout
The expansion area can be reconfigured for vertical graphics card mounting; a compatible PCI Express riser cable is sold separately.
Large Component Clearances in a Practical Mid-Tower
The chassis supports large graphics cards, full-size CPU air coolers, E-ATX motherboards, and standard ATX power supplies without requiring a super-tower footprint.
425mm GPU Clearance
Large modern graphics cards fit within the listed maximum length, although radiator and cable placement can affect practical space.
170mm CPU Cooler Height
Many full-size tower air coolers fit within the official height limit.
180mm ATX PSU Length
Standard high-performance power supplies are supported, with cable and drive placement affecting final working room.
Four Internal Drive Positions
Install up to two 3.5-inch hard drives and two 2.5-inch solid-state drives.
Perfect For
Ideal for panoramic gaming PCs, iCUE LINK systems, clean reverse-connector builds, RGB showcase configurations, and high-performance liquid-cooled computers.
Hub and Premium Fans Included
Start with three connected LX120-R RGB fans and expand with compatible iCUE LINK cooling and lighting components.
Wraparound Tempered Glass
The front and side windows present the graphics card, cooling system, and RGB lighting from multiple angles.
Reverse-Connector Ready
Compatible motherboards move major cables behind the tray for a cleaner visible chamber.
Check Cooling, Hub Power, and Component Interactions
The included System Hub and fans simplify the initial build, but final clearances still depend on radiator thickness, fan placement, graphics card power cables, storage configuration, and motherboard headers.
Plan the iCUE LINK Chain
Position the System Hub and compatible devices so the included and additional LINK cables reach without excessive tension.
Side Radiator Replaces Included Fan Placement
A side-mounted radiator may reuse or relocate the three pre-installed LX120-R fans depending on the desired airflow configuration.
Check GPU Power-Cable Clearance
Confirm graphics card width, connector position, and cable bend radius in addition to the official 425mm length limit.
Vertical GPU Requires a Riser
A compatible PCI Express riser cable is required for vertical installation and is sold separately.
