Fractal Design Pop XL Air RGB White TG FD-C-POR1X-01 PC case

Full-tower chassis for E-ATX builds

The Pop XL Air RGB is a white steel and tempered-glass full tower that accepts Micro-ATX, ATX, Mini-ITX and E-ATX motherboards up to 280 mm wide. Four pre-installed Aspect 12 RGB fans provide immediate airflow and lighting, while the hexagonal mesh front panel keeps intake unrestricted. Two concealed 5.25-inch bays with a magnetic cover and storage drawer add versatile front-access storage. Eight expansion slots and room for graphics cards up to 455 mm long suit high-end component choices.

Thermals, noise and power draw in normal use

Four 120 mm Aspect RGB fans ship installed — three at the front, one at the rear — creating a balanced push-pull path through the mesh front and perforated top. The case supports additional 120 mm or 140 mm fans at the front, top and rear, plus radiators up to 360 mm front, 280 mm top and 140 mm rear for liquid-cooling upgrades. CPU coolers up to 185 mm tall and power supplies up to 205 mm long fit without interfering with airflow. The open mesh and included fans keep component temperatures low at moderate fan speeds.

Bundled accessories and software impact

The four included Aspect 12 RGB fans connect to a standard motherboard RGB header for synchronised colour control without proprietary software. A storage drawer slides into one 5.25-inch bay, while three dual-purpose trays each hold a 3.5-inch and a 2.5-inch drive simultaneously. Front I/O supplies two USB 3.0 ports and separate audio jacks; an optional USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C upgrade kit adds a high-speed front port when purchased separately.
