Fractal Design has unveiled its new Pop 2 Air PC case, and it’s got a unique feature: a GPU air guide designed to improve GPU cooling. The case starts at $90 for the standard black version and goes up to $100 for RGB-equipped models.
The Pop 2 Air’s GPU air guide is a scoop-shaped region of the power supply shelf that directs air towards the graphics card slots. A similar design appeared on a few cases at CES 2026, including the HAVN BF 360 Flow, which uses a similar but more engineered approach with an angled metal ramp rather than a simple scoop. The HAVN case earned praise from reviewers for its thermal performance, though it costs up to twice as much as the budget-friendly Pop 2 Air.

Fractal’s new case also features mesh panels on the front and top to improve ventilation. It comes with three 120mm fans already installed. Builders can expand cooling capacity to seven fans total, with support for two 140mm fans in either the front or top positions. The case accommodates GPUs up to 416mm long and includes mounting space for 360mm radiators, PCWorld reports.
Because the Pop 2 Air is designed for budget-conscious users, it doesn’t incorporate features like vertical GPU mounts or rear-connector motherboard support. It does, however, include Fractal’s standard cable management hardware, tool-free opening, and easily-removable filters and panels.
Both versions of the Pop 2 Air are now available at Newegg.
