Corsair 3500x ARGB Review - two different builds in one video

[@3_kids_one_shot726]

This is such a great case. The case itself with no fans is only $90 is the U.S. great video sir as always!

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Yeah it's good value. I should have talked about that. I'm building in another case now that's the same price and is nowhere near as good quality.

[@RLJSlick]

I really love those Corsair cases, they are expensive, but love the design. Great video!

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

@@RLJSlick the standard version is £89, the ARGB is £120. That's not expensive imo. Very reasonable for the quality.

[@igm1571]

what about NZXT ?

[@carson6131]

@@igm1571i'm going to do a build for christmas and corsair 3500x is currently 75$(without fans) while NZXT is H6 is currently 110$(cheapest) option. I'd rather have the H6, but money talks

[@igm1571]

@@carson6131 i think you should buy a case with pre installed fan, corsair and nzxt is just way too expensive while doesnt bring any major features from the case, you could take a look Montech and Deepcool, their case are very high quality and the price is also affordable too, and also come with pre installed fan.

[@KumoGoesFast]

theyre one of the more affordable cases, i got mine for $109 shipped. not sure what you mean, i constantly see builds on pcpartspicker where people spend $300+ on cases.

[@lesbsocal9107]

I had bought a Thermaltake case as I was planning my build, but then saw this Corsair, so I sold the Thermaltake on eBay and got this one. Great review, it will be helpful when I go to assemble. You gave a great delivery. You would be a good Shakespean actor. I could hear you deliver McBeth's soliloquy

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Glad I could help! I never liked Shakespeare though I'm afraid

[@Dillkeyz]

I just bought mine to upgrade my prebuilt. My mom didn't trust me picking parts and so I bouhgt one with a 3060 and i had it since last early december so now I am upgrading it

[@itsprod.472]

The version without fans is definitely a good buy if you have fans already or wanna buy a different set like the RS series of fans (the cheapest new fan lineup from Corsair) only downside those aren’t ICUE link

[@TheJeffBala]

Picked up the icue link version for 100 bucks on black friday. I love the case.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

👍

[@zekken2423]

Thank you for the review. I fell in love with the case at first sight. I think it's time to switch to a new one.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Glad I could help

[@rmorenberg]

I just built in the case and used the Titan 360 as well but I top mounted it. I do like it as well. I used the black version with only 6 rx120mm fans in at the moment but I have an RX 140mm for the bottom and a black rx120 for the rear if I need or want to add it later. So far I am happy with it.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

👍

[@101CBR600RR]

Just want to call out that the panel that you attach the ssd/hdd is double sided. You attach the ssd to the back side that the curve is on and the hdd on the flat side. Should get 2x each like that

[@Mohawkchris]

Very beautiful case! I want to change mine up a bit. I have a Fractal Torrent and love it, but I get bored after a year and always want to change it out.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Fractal has a new case out that's getting good reviews. I personally like this and there's some cool things coming from others coming in October too (watch out for videos!)

[@Mohawkchris]

@@TheProvokedPrawn I'm really into those Hyte cases with the screens right now.

[@EstablishedOne]

I watched this vid a few time and I'm going to put my liq cooler on the side like you did. My first time building a PC, I think I got this now 🤞

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

I have a build guide too if it helps.

[@MASTICOR718]

I'm torn on the case. Coming from a 4000d.... I love the look. I found it simple to build in but had poor thermal compared to before when I had all the same hardware other than the 3 additional fans with the case. Moved the 240mm around no help. As of this writing I'm installing a 360 in hopes of better results. Otherwise I'm going back to the 4000d.

[@normified]

Another great video, gonna upgrade my case soon and use this beauty. Not an RGB guy though, I'll just slap in the Lian Li P28s for that clean-white look. Only gripe would be that the "filter" on the side seems to be metal, metal "dust filters" have never done much since they aren't fine enough to grab small particles and are thick so they restrict airflow. Guess I'll make my own, haha

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks for watching!

I am moving a system from a Thermaltake F31 Suppressor case to this Corsair 3500X since my EKWB pump (purchased August 2019) just failed and I have to do work on the system: Intel i9 9900k water blocked - MSI AMD Radeon VII water blocked - EVGA Z370 Micro - EVGA 1000Watt G+ PSU - (1) EKWB 360mm slim radiator & (1) EKWB 240mm slim radiator - defective EKWB D5 pump that failed and is being replaced with an Alphacool Aurora 200 when it arrives from Performance PC. Issues so far: - (3) of the motherboard standoffs were larger then normal requiring me to take the motherboard back out and replacing them one at a time as I discovered them -SDD tray holes are too far away for any conventional screws to actually reach the Samsung 860 Evo SSD to mount it on the outward side (re-watched your video to specifically see how you mounted yours and it looks like you mounted it to the back side. If mounting to the front side I would have to go buy some longer screws -air filter mesh is very air restricting when compared to my Phanteks P600S or the 500 or the 400 I have built in so I am removing it from them build

[@LaoBoiClique]

when you have your aio radiator on the back end and not on top, how is the fan flow orientation? are they set to intake or outtake? I know if the AIO is set on the top then the fans should be outtake but is that the same as putting the AIO on back?

[@cheekster777]

Thank you my friend.

[@marcelafontes6413]

I didn't understand why the icue software wasn't working for my fans, so it seems since they are connected to the motherboard then this software won't work... thanks!

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Correct

[@tr1ksh0t88]

do you think this case will have enough airflow for a 4090 with 8 fans?

[@sinnermac6338]

good looking build

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks

[@brandon_907]

With side mount, any concerns with cooler being above hoses in radiator? Potential air at highest point

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

No kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4LGqox-fNl0qNU

[@mochachocolattevanilla]

Love your videos

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thank you.

[@lightspam7009]

can you vertically mount gpu using this case? i think it would be nice if considering you will use project stealth or project zero motherboards to stay on the theme of hidden cables.

[@morgothbloody7181]

did you found out if gpu can go vertically?

[@lightspam7009]

@morgothbloody7181 yes it can. Saw vids online and manuals on how to do it

[@rn.v4629]

u sure the radiator in/exit at the bot of the radiator is good? shouldnt it be higher than the cpu block itself? i always tought that was the way to go due to bubles in the system. but i might be wrong

Only minor ones. I did a guide here kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpbLqnWniLVnic0

[@notniex]

Can I install 3 of the 120mm fans on the side ? Or is it 140mm or can I do both

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

120mm yes

[@notniex]

@ what about in the bottom

[@yashs98]

Could you tell me, Which RGB you have used? Corsair LL 120 RGB?

[@rmorenberg]

Hi again this time not a question just a statement. I used the Corsair Titan 360 AIO in the 3500x case which has been great, so I did a pump head swap and used the screen head and my coolant temp and package temps are on my rig about 10 degrees cooler than the H150i on my build in the 6500x case. same 14700k CPU's and both in ASUS boards the Hero BTF for the 6500x and the Dark Hero for the 3500x. I'm debating if I should get a Titan RX360 for my main unit, the 6500x build.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Corsair would like that mini review 👍

[@rmorenberg]

I had another dumb question regarding the new Corsair Titan 360 AIO. which is better to use the AIO pump header on the MB or the CPU fan header? I've used both and am not really sure if there is a definite difference? or does it really matter?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Generally I think it doesn't really matter

[@rmorenberg]

@@TheProvokedPrawn thanks I had that in the back of my head. thanks for the response.

Does the RGB version come with pre installed fans? If yes how many

[@B1INK]

Comes with 3 fans

[@B1INK]

Not the icue link ones ither

[@scottrobeson7513]

@@jordanmarazzi I probably could get an aftermaket mount for the front where a fan is on but it looks like it only comes with the two mounts at the back by default. I need more than two drives 🤣

would you put this above the 4000d airflow? trying to buy a new case for my pc and was wondering if buying the 3500x would be the way to go.
