[SOLVED] Is it ok to put a 120mm case fan filter on a PSU?

[SomeGuyonTHW]

So yea, I recently got 5 case fan filters & I have 1 extra now (3 front & 1 side panel all intake) Can I put my 120mm case fan filter on my 120mm PSU fan? so it won't get dusty? or it is unnecceary & my PSU is fine (It's a Cooler master 650w white)
I remember it warned me about opening PSU on its box, what should I do, I want it to be dust free & it says don't I don't even know if I can do it, did any one ever put a case fan filter on a PSU? or am I the weird guy here?

What case do you have, and how is the PSU oriented?

No, you do NOT open the PSU box.

No, you do NOT open the PSU box.

Hi!
You can't find my case because it's only manufactured in my own country & can not be found on any online store or anywhere else, It's exclusive.
& again I won't open box just opening that piece of metal on PSU fan & placing fan filter & close it again.
my other question is:Have people actually done this or not?

I asked, because most recent cases have a filter in the spot where a PSU draws air in from underneath.

Again, do NOT open the PSU box to put in a filter.

Can you provide us a pic of this configuration?

Leave it alone. A couple times a year blow it out with filtered compressed air and it'll be fine, although it is a Cooler Master budget model so don't expect it to last very long. Be prepared to spend a bit more and get a higher quality model when the warranty on it expires.

I'm still curious. Never seen a case that wasn't super expensive that wasn't made in China.

Z5 Surena by green. You haven't heard of for sure lol

Looks like 1,000 other cases.

And there is already a filter over the PSU intake hole:

Actually, we have heard of them. Due to the many sanctions against Iran, we have to point a lot of Iranian enthusiasts to Green for parts.

And the case isn't made in Iran. It's made in China. That case is the exact same as of one of ABKO Core's because they're made in the same factory.

So yeah... You don't put a filter on the PSU. You mount the PSU on the bottom with the fan facing down so it uses the filter that slides into the bottom of the case.
