[SOLVED] Collecting lots of dust in case.

[Luke H./]

For some reason I am collecting what seems like an awful lot of dust inside my pc case.
I have a Phanteks p400a, this includes a mesh/dust filtered front panel. I have 3 RGB intake fans which came with the case. I also have a 280mm radiator the other side of the front panel with 2x140mm fans attached to the other side of the radiator pulling air in.
I have a lot of dust collecting on top of the PSU shroud, the back panel next to where the Motherboard sits and also against the inside of the glass side panel.
This dust is all very visible and is a pain to look at since my whole build is RGB and the lights make the dust show more prominently.
I also have 2x140mm exhaust fans on the top of the case.
What makes it worse is that I've only had the computer for around two weeks, it was build from scratch. I would understand if there were dust build up after a few months, but a couple of weeks should show almost no dust build up.

Can someone help me out as to why there is so much dust inside my computer, and possibly a solution, thanks.

Dust accumulation/build up can and will vary from location to location and from crib to crib since dust can be fine particled or coarse particled. With that in mind, the only solution you have is to probably run an air filter in your house if you haven't already or if you didn't clean the house while the system is running since mechanically aided airflow can and will push dust into crevices(nooks and cranny's).

Another option is to be diligent with cleaning the innards of the system regularly before taking a picture since that's what most would do.

Thanks for your reply, since I don't clean the room when it's running and it is unsuitable for me to run an air filter into the room. I'll have to buy some foam to put in the front of the case by the fans just to filter more dust.
