Computer fan filter installation


















Pass fan screws through the tights with thin washers to avoid snagging. Stretch the tights to each corner to prevent sagging. See more articles. Custom magnetic filter 1 Get materials You may want a more elaborate design than a simple fan filter, while other filters might not quite fit over your intended vent hole. Tights - the cheapest option 1 Cut to size Tights can make cost-effective filters if there are old pairs going free at home.

From Custom PC store. Hey guys, I just got 4 fans and fan filters in from newegg to put in my mesh panel for the Corsair T.

My problem is that the screws aren't long enough to go through both the dust filter and the fan. Would it be alright if I put the fan on, and the dust filter on the opposite side towards the inside of the case?

So I guess that would let dust into the fan, but not inside the case? I always thought that the dust filter should go on the part of the fan facing outward, so the dust is filtered before the air goes through the fan, but in this case I can't do that.

Would this work fine? Joined Sep 3, Messages 3, 0. If put behind the fan the purpose of the filter is lost. It will only help the cpu cooler a bit, maybe. BTW, are you sure you have checked whether you installed them the right way?

If something doesn't fit, it usually means you made a little mistake somewhere. Now I think about it, what fan filters are they? Joined May 21, Messages 0. The 4 fans are on the mesh panel for my case and all of them are intaking air into the case.

The fan filters are Silverstone. I've tried 3 different sets of screws ones that came with Corsair, Xigmatek, and Silverstone and none are long enough. I can't screw in the fan filter on the intake side of the fan. The mesh at the front or in the side panel? I currently have a few silverstone filters on my case, the magnetic ones, its quite simple actually, I place the fans on the interior side of the panel, having it intake air through the panel vent, and blow it into the case, secure the fan with screw from the outside, and just stick the filter on the outer surface of the panel, since they are magnetic, they just "snap-on", no screws required.

Every six months or so, or more often if you live in a particularly dusty area, open up your computer and blow it out with some compressed air to get rid of any lingering dust.

To prevent dust, slap some dust filters on your intake fans. Clean them out with water and dry them completely every few months to keep dust from flowing into your case again, slightly positive air pressure can help here too. Most cases sold for system builders come with some kind of dust filter, but if you need more, you can buy some nice magnetic ones in different sizes for your intake fans.

But for the sake of completeness: water cooled components have a minimal effect on the internal airflow of a case. The radiator and fan combo itself can be mounted to the front or bottom for intake or the rear or top for exhaust, but it will be less efficient than a fan alone. If possible, mount your radiator and fans as exhaust fans.

Putting them in an intake position will warm up the air via the radiator as it comes into your PC…which is basically defeating the purpose of water cooling your components in the first place.
