The right image indicate how you change the mode and colors on the controller. By pressing and holding in the button for 2 second, you can change the mode in which it lights up. By just pressing and releasing the button straight away, you change the color of the LEDs. Note that the Northern Lights mode disables any color change, as it has its own color theme.
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. In fact, they’re right beside the premium-market O11 Dynamic EVO from Lian Li. Make sure that the SATA-cable coming from the RGB controller is properly connected to the PSU SATA connector. If this isn't connected or loose, the fans can act up.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. Builders who would rather use the case’s RGB controller will find an ARGB header on the underside of the switch panel... In a move that appears a nod toward the reintroduction of bay-panel devices, the Pop Air RGB hides dual 5.25-inch external drive bays behind a magnetically attached mini panel, as shown below... Each of the three RGB fans includes ARGB inputs and outputs, plus three-pin fan inputs and outputs. All outputs are designed only to enable daisy-chaining of these devices, with the original connection leading to a motherboard header.
With the launch of the Pop line, Fractal is truly going all in with the attempt to capture the budget-minded market segment, offering three general sizes: the Pop Mini, Pop, and Pop XL—each with some variations. In this review, we will be looking at the Pop Air RGB, which ships in a slew of bright internal colors. There is also the Pop Silent SKU with a solid front and toned down looks using the same body. Experience a fusion of style and function with Pop Series. Pop Mini Air melds precision engineering with dynamic design, while saving desk space with its smaller footprint. Presenting the Fractal Pop Air, one half of the new Fractal pop series. As the name suggests, the Pop Air is an airflow-oriented design with a mesh covered front and an external aesthetic that is a mix between NZXT’s popular H510 Flow and Fractal’s Meshify series, both of which are great case designs. To say the least, we expected a lot from the Pop Air, despite is more modest pricing. 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.) Vividly colored motherboard plate, drive trays and exterior accents (Pop Air RGB TG Cyan/Magenta/Green/Orange Core)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. 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. Since space is very tight around the top panel’s 140mm fan mounts, Fractal Design recommends using nothing larger than a dual-120mm (aka 240mm) radiator here. We'll map the results against some recently tested large ATX cases, some of which have at least a modicum of EATX-board support. Among them are Cooler Master's HAF 500, Corsair's iCUE 5000T RGB, Lian Li's O11 Dynamic EVO, and In Win's N515.
Great Deal
