About this deal
Expectations were here, and hearing that this case was a more budget-oriented offering from Fractal potentially signalled great things for the low-cost PC market. Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page.
If one distinction was not enough, both Pop Air and Pop Silent are available in Mini and XL versions to offer a truly diverse and flexible range of cases for a wide variety of build aspirations.
Fractal Design says that the mesh is the filter, which means that users will more easily be able to see when their filters need to be cleaned. Cable access holes above and in front of the motherboard feature rolled edges, as does the cooler plate access hole behind the CPU area. Note that since this isn't connected in any way to the motherboard, the fans will not change color if connected directly to a motherboard RGB header. One of the nicer things that we can say about the CPU temperatures we measured (after mounting our platform into the Pop Air RGB) is that they’re only a few degrees worse than average.
If one fan in the chain is faulty, it could lead to all fans in the chain having issues with lighting. PCMag is obsessed with culture and tech, offering smart, spirited coverage of the products and innovations that shape our connected lives and the digital trends that keep us talking.
Pop Air features a mesh front to prioritize airflow, while Pop Silent offers sound-dampened panels and a closed front to help minimize sound. It also has separate microphone and headphone jacks, a power button, and a tiny mode button for its built-in ARGB controller. 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.
