Tissue over front intake fan.

[JimJackson]

Is it harmful in any way to put a single piece of tissue over the intake fan on the front of my case to minimize the amount of dust entering the system? 2-ply

No, I do that to check and see if my fans are in their correct airflow.

they sell filters for case fans that are made to do this. there is no reason to use tissue. not to mention that it will prob get caught after a while.

LOL, I do the same.

I just open up my case once a month and clean out the case w/compressed air can.

Yeah, I use the compressed air can too. I need to go get some, since I used my last bottle on my VAIO and that's when I screwed it up. :snob:

Ok I see, so as long as I replace it every few days it shouldn't get caught and I should be fine right?

If you're looking to buy some filters, here is a site which sells them for a great price.

All Fan Filters

That's what's great about the TT Armor, I don't have a spec of dust because all intake areas are filtered.

I recomend not using a tissue, airflow is very minimal through one. Just buy filters, they're cheap, and won't rob you nearly as muich of airflow.

Alright, thanks everyone. :happy:

i use the compressor in my truck shop to blow the dust out.
for one thing, it doesnt have any moisture in it like a can will if you tilt it the wrong way.
for another thing, its about mmmmm, 350psi. there aint no dirt hidin from that kind of pressure, lol...i dont have to wipe anything. dont get it too too close though, it would blow the hsf off and the cpu out of its socket lmao.
