Dust problem with PC

Hi,

I have a z270i Asus Gaming motherboard and a Phanteks Evolv ITX case, with Corsair H115i water cooling system.

I have major problems with dust. It makes my throat sore every single time the PC is on.

This happens after around 1 month of usage. I had the older corsair model before and that always caused me the same problem. I got a new H115i and it's been working for around 1 month, no problems and then all of a sudden huge dust problem.

This feels like chill powder in the nose and a huge sore throat.

As soon as I turn of the computer it goes away, so I'm 100% sure it's the PC.

I have taken apart the machine and cleaned it meticulously, with hoover, dust cloth. There is no dust inside the case.

I have also cleaned the surrounding area and raised the PC off of the floor by around half a metre.

Still huge dust problems.

I really dont get it.

I'm wondering whether I should get rid of this cooling system and get one that is attached to the CPU?

I would be very grateful for any help is solving this. Life is becoming unliveable with this in my house and it's a shame because its a hugely expensive machine.

At this stage, I'm at a loss to explain this strange phenomenon.

I should add that both my wife and daughter have the same problems and dont have allergies etc.

Cheers

Yes, I've done all this and it's still just as bad as when the PC had dust in it. The surrounding area is no less/more clean than it was a month ago, and there were no problems for a whole month while the new corsair was being used.

I've got a strong suspicion that it's something to do with the corsair grill that the fans are pushing air through. The dust doesnt seem like normal dust, it seems much smaller particles. I think any dust thats going into the case must be getting broken up and no matter how much, or little it's causing me problems.

ie. in one month I have gone from no dust (since the grill and cooler were new), to a little dust (because ive cleaned it but impossible to get all) in the case and I think even that is causing me a problem.
