Fractal Design Pop Air RGB Black - Tempered Glass Clear Tint - Honeycomb Mesh Front – TG side panel - Three 120 mm Aspect 12 RGB fans included – ATX High Airflow Mid Tower PC Gaming Case

Product Information

Pop Air brings attitude to airflow, melding precision engineering with dynamic design. This includes a range of cases with vividly colored motherboard plates, drive trays and exterior accents for a fresh, expressive feel. The functional focal point of Pop Air is at the front, where a honeycomb mesh provides access to fan-powered cooling. As with all Pop Series cases, the front also introduces a neatly concealed storage drawer which can be used to stow away desktop clutter or be replaced to host up to two optical drives.

Indicates that the fans should be chained together with each other before connecting the last connector to the RGB controller. You then connect the SATA-cable to your PSU. Note that this is only relevant if you are using the controller. If connecting the fans to the motherboard instead, note that the SATA-cable still needs to be connected to the PSU since the power-LED is powered through this. In addition to fan cables, the Pop Air RGB includes a SATA-style power input, and header cables for a motherboard power button, HD Audio, and first-gen USB 3. The SATA-style cable powers both the Pop Air RGB’s ARGB controller and its power-on indicator light. (As for the USB 3 lead, most case manufacturers call these "USB 3.0" despite USB-IF’s "USB 3.2 Gen 1" nomenclature.) If the two above steps are done, you can try and disconnect the fans that are chained together and connect them separately to the controller. If one fan in the chain is faulty, it could lead to all fans in the chain having issues with lighting.Experience a fusion of style and function with Pop Series. Pop XL Air melds precision engineering with dynamic design, while offering the space and flexibility of its generous format. Experience a fusion of style and function with Pop Series. Pop Air brings attitude to airflow, melding precision engineering with dynamic design. In sum, all this isn’t an argument of poor performance, by any means, but rather that the case doesn't distinguish itself for doing especially well on our thermal and acoustic trials. Cable access holes above and in front of the motherboard feature rolled edges, as does the cooler plate access hole behind the CPU area. A stepped-in area in the front access hole allows easier cable passage, but limits motherboard depth to around 11 inches.

We have seen some issues with the RGB controller in combination with the Arctic P12 and P14 A-RGB fans. It seems like no matter how these are connected, if you connect two of them in a row, the third fan will not light up. If you have a mix of these fans in combination with other models, we would recommend mounting the other fans first in the chain and keep these two fans last in the chain for all to function.

The Design: A Throwback to Old-School Bays?

Fractal fuse style and function in the Pop Series – a brand-new case family. Pop Air features a mesh front to prioritize airflow, while Pop Silent offers sound-dampened panels and a closed front to help minimize sound. While Pop Air and Pop Silent might differ in their ambitions, both styles offer a solid build quality, a straight-forward layout, and a uniquely stylish design expression.

Yes, Fractal’s Pop Air supports optical disk drives, up to two of them! While this is uncommon for modern PC cases, it is a useful feature for those who still value their optical drive bays.
