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

Cable access holes above and in front of the motherboard feature rolled edges, as does the cooler plate access hole behind the CPU area. SilverStone’s similarly quieted Seta Q1 sits opposite the Pop XL Silent in today’s charts, with the four quietest of recently reviewed “non-silent” cases separating them at least in the legend. Users are free to move this part to the top of the power-supply tunnel if desired, and Fractal Design says that it will make spares available to those who wish to equip their cases with additional drives.

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. We have absolutely no influence on where PCS market demographic is, but Mini ITX will make up a very small margin and with millions in the turnover per year, you have to understand that you taking your money elsewhere wouldn't resonate. The honeycomb patterned front mesh creates a striking visual effect that gives the Pop series a premium feel.AIO Chassis as the base of the machine, we are able to provide the ultimate in experiences never before seen in an All In One form factor.

As implied, the Pop XL Silent is a bit larger than the company’s previously tested Pop Air, and that’s easily seen on a back panel that has eight expansion slots and a few inches of space above the I/O panel. But as you’ll see next in the thermal results, you may want to trade higher noise levels for more RPM and/or airflow. This system allows us to produce a substantial amount of heat and effectively test the Fractal Design Pop Air‘s cooling capabilities.The fans of our AIO CPU cooler do a great job of cooling our motherboard’s CPU voltage regulators, and the Pop XL Silent’s bump up to fourth place probably comes courtesy of its extra intake fans. A stepped-in area in the front access hole allows easier cable passage, but limits motherboard depth to around 11 inches. While a look back at past components reveals that manufacturers have placed everything from fan controllers to multi-drive backplanes into spots like these, Fractal Design adds a screw tray to one of its 5.

Another piece is attached to the inside of the right side panel on our case, and those who choose a steel panel for the left side of the case get another sheet there, as well.

Because this chassis is all about silence, there isn’t any fan or radiator support at the top due to the sound-dampening foam lining. Don’t get me wrong, if this were a normal case, then these temps wouldn’t be impressive, but for a silence-first chassis, I gotta give Fractal credit. Comes with three 120 mm Aspect 12 RGB (Pop Air RGB TG version only) fans (and supports two more for a total of five). We received the “orange core” version with ARGB fans, two of which shine through an unfiltered 3D mesh face panel.Pop XL Silent surprises us by including four fans, support for triple-fan front and dual-fan top radiators, noise damping, and a single tempered glass panel (which does a great job of reflecting noise). 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. Those can be quite handy to builders who know how to use them: We’d be tempted to fit ours with an actively cooled eight-drive 2.

With nothing oversized to get in the way, our full-sized components are simply swallowed up by the XL interior of the Pop XL Silent. Oddly enough, the Pop Silent was able to illustrate how silent the NZXT H7 Flow is, because it nearly matched the Pop Silent’s noise level.Connecting front-panel cables is very simple on a case that has no reset button or hard drive activity LED.

The top panel features a mesh panel with magnetic tape on its periphery covering a dual fan mount that, like the front panel, supports two fans of 120mm or 140mm sizes. Designed in a stunning Black finish and clear tinted tempered glass side panel, means you can easily look inside.
