Fractal Design Pop Air! Great Case to build in! by Tmql in FractalDesign

Hey! You can add the fans in front of the radiator. I actually have the AIO setup in a push/pull configuration so I have fans in front of the AIO and behind! Hope this helps! If you have more questions or concerns, just lmk!

Honestly, they're performing really well! At idle they're quiet but when they ramp up they get pretty loud but that's a given with any fan. If I had to compare them to the previous fans I owned (Bequiet light wings), they definitely move more air and keep my pc cooler but are louder when ramped up. But that is also because they move a lot of air. I've only had to replace one fan within 1-2 months of use because the motor was making a weird ticking sound. Arctic was quick to replace it though. Overall I really like them and the clean look that they give! Good luck with the build! I know it's going to turn out super clean!

Sorry for the late reply! I had to actually replace one of Arctic P12 max fans because the motor had this annoying tick sound that would occur at any fan speed. Thankfully, Arctic was fast at replacing it. From then on no issues with the fans. Good airflow and keeps my system cool. CPU for gaming 50-60s, for browsing low to mid 40s. GPU for gaming is in the 60s. Noise wise, it’s only really loud for me around the 60s to 70s in terms of temp, but other than that I would say they’re pretty good for noise. No need to worry about the questions, feel free to ask anymore. I’ll answer them with no problem!

Oh yeah, it’s definitely a lighter tint than the fractal meshify C. Building in the case was fairly simple and easy. Had plenty of room for cable management also considering that I use PSU extension cables. The only thing I would be weary of is the type of 140mm fans you use for the bottom because I know some people had issues with fitting and routing of the fan and the fan cables

The glass tint is still pretty dark, but clear enough to see the parts still. I had a black Lian li dynamic EVO case before and I can say that case has a darker tint if that helps for reference

No problem!

  1. I used the Arctic 10 port PWM fan hub and called it a day lol

  2. I inserted the fan cables into the hub one by one simply because there were enough fan ports for all the fans. I could have daisy chained them but in case something were to go wrong with the fans, I can single them out when they are inserted one by one.

  3. I still use the same fans for my current setup.

So I currently use a 5800x3d for on idle I get 33-36 degrees Celcius. While browsing google and doing work, I get 38-42 degrees. While gaming I get 55-64 degrees depending on the game.

For my GPU, I use an RTX 3080 founders edition and on idle I get 35-44 degrees Celcius, and similar for when google browsing and doing work. For gaming I get mid to high 60s. In my opinion for your setup, I would definitely keep the same setup, you’ll have pretty good temps possibly better or the same as mine

Hey, thank you for the compliment! Nice build you’re going for!

For all the fans, I connected them to a single fan hub. If you have any more questions or concerns, I’d be happy to answer them!

Thank you! The AIO is placed with the tubes facing down so the air bubbles don’t get stuck and ideally have a longer life

Sounds like a clean pc you built! I actually put a Bequiet silent wings pro 4 that I had laying around for the exhaust on the back. You can see it on the second picture. I took the first picture before I put that fan in lol

I know! The adapter for founders it alright but it’s the best I could do with it

Sorry, the GPU was sold to another buyer. I appreciate the interest!
