NZXT H440 vs Fractal Design R5 - Dust Proofness, what's your experience?

[Kameegaming]

Basically I have a hard time choosing the right case, I would like to have it very dust proof. What's your experience with these cases?

So Both cases have filtered intakes

R5:

Two in the front
two In the bottom

H440:

3 In the Front


Both cases have a side intake for the front fans.

H440:

Top covered and dust can't fall into it.

How is the cleaning of this top area? does it collect dust?

R5:

Removing moduvents exposes the case for dust falling into it.
Is there Any filter that can be placed on top of the r5 for filtering?

Get the R5 the h440 is airflow limited.

I care more about dust falling into the case. if it's the case with r5 that's no good.

If you don't care much about air flow get the H440, dust is minimal with the default fan set up

But you casually have to clean the outside of the case because the Matt finish can get dusty pretty quick

Is that case good for positive pressure?

Counting 1 140 mm rear exhaust and a H100i GTX with the default 3 fans at the front?

I would guess so, but that means that hot air will be pushed inside your case from the rad if you put it in the front.

shit, I meant rear Exhaust, H100i to the top, and the 3 front intakes remain the stock.

You will have a neutral air pressure, I would recommend getting an h80i instead and putting it in where the 140mm fan and make it a push pull config

Well if I get H80i THen I can just go with the R5 as it has 4 intakes. and then i don't need to open the top.

well i have the h440 right now and even if in my case i switched the fans for noctuas id still say if you have your front fans running a little faster than the top and rear it should still be fairly positive

well checking the manufacturer the stock fans only have 45 CFM, so 135 Total CFM.

the SP120s have almost 63 -> so 126 and AF 140 has 67 so 190+

so the rear and top would have to run slower
