good airflow and less dust

[invaderdimz]

Currently for my case, i have a Corsair Carbide series 200r with 2 exhaust exhaust fans on top and 1 intake fan in front.

A day ago I installed a fan controller to reduce noise and lower speed of fans.

what should i do to lower dust consumption?

I also got a pny gtx 750ti sc and the Hyper 212 EVO, the fan exhausting to the back of the case.

when you have more exhaust then intake you get a giant dust magnet.

if you put some more intake onto that case and put some dust screens on them you'll kill the dust issue on the spot.

More exhausts than intakes=negative air pressure and it sucks in air (and therefore dust) from anywhere it can. If you put more intake than exhaust it will help you a bit but the best solution is dust filters. Demci do a kit (http://www.demcifilter.com/c63/CORSAIR-200R.aspx) or you can get some single ones

Should i put the intakes on the side?

Ya dust filters are cheap and also if your pc is on the floor it's best to elevate it to something like a desk.

 

[smackers_12]

You can yes, it is better to have slightly more intake than exhaust or equal. The only way to really cut down on the dust is with filters on your intakes (not needed on exhausts) and positive air pressure (or air will come in through unfiltered gaps)

I think I can only fit one fan on the side because the hyper 212 evo takes up too much space, but would that still work? I can set the exhaust fans to lower speeds and intakes to higher.

It would still work but the best solution is to install filters. The improvement with this solution wont be as good as if you get filters

I only got 1 intake which is at front and i think it already got filters, but if i get an intake fan for the side and put a filter on it, would that fix the dust problem.

Improve it yes. You can never keep dust out 100%

Oh I was thinking of using one of my fans thats mounted ontop to put on the side as an intake and plug in the back fan for exhaust. and put the filter on the side
