In a move that appears a nod toward the reintroduction of bay-panel devices, the Pop Air RGB hides dual 5. 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. Indicates that the fans should be chained together with each other before connecting the last connector to the RGB controller. In this review, we will be looking at the Pop Air RGB, which ships in a slew of bright internal colors.

The reason Fractal Design decided to include its “Extended” radiator brackets is that the Pop Air RGB has only around 40mm of clearance between a 120mm/240mm radiator and a motherboard. It also has separate microphone and headphone jacks, a power button, and a tiny mode button for its built-in ARGB 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. If one fan in the chain is faulty, it could lead to all fans in the chain having issues with lighting.

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.

To add some additional versatility to the case’s top panel, Fractal has supplied extended radiator installation brackets to offset top mounted 120mm or 140mm radiators, adding additional clearance for cable management and tall motherboard components. Available with some nifty hints of color, Fractal Design’s Pop Air RGB is suitable for seekers of a big PC case with a pair of hidden, old-school 5.If the controller isn't working as intended, as in if the fans are dimmed or just don't light up/change color when using the controller, please follow the below steps. Its clean appearance and sound-dampening functionality allow Pop Silent to serve as a quietly stylish case for mixed use, productivity, and lighter gaming. Aside from standard black/white colour options, there are Magenta (pink), orange, blue, and green colour options.
