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

Prawn here with a look at the Corsair 3500x. This is a detailed review I’ve put together after building in the case twice. The specs of the builds can be found below. This is the ARGB version of the case meaning it comes with pre installed RS120 RGB fans, but I also did one build adding extra and another with an all iCue Link setup. Then was able to find issues along the way, nice points of the case and compare thermals from both builds. Note I also mounted the radiator in different positions both times to show how you can have them in different spots and the difference that makes.
