Corsair iCUE Link 3500X (Mid-Tower ATX/Dual-Chamber Tempered Glass/3x QX120 iCUE Link RGB Fans Included/Single-Cable Fan Hub) Review
If you're building around Corsair's iCUE Link ecosystem and want a case that ships with the fans already using it, the iCUE Link 3500X is the one to check.
It comes with three QX120 iCUE Link fans daisy-chained on a single cable instead of the usual rat's nest of individual PWM and RGB headers, which is the whole selling point if you're already committed to Corsair's connector system.
iCUE Link System
Each fan connects to the next with one small link cable instead of separate power and RGB runs, and the chain terminates in a single cable back to the motherboard and a SATA power lead. It cuts real time out of a build if you're running six or more Link-compatible fans.
Comparison to Alternatives
It's a mid-tower counterpart to the Corsair 6500X in our catalog, smaller and cheaper but sharing the same dual-chamber design; against the older Corsair iCUE 5000T RGB, it swaps standard RGB fans for the newer Link connector standard.
