Hi Guys,
This is a bit of a weird tech question but what better place to ask it
I have a Corsair 500D case packed with a Sabertooth 990FX, FX6300, 8gig 1600mhz, R9 280x, Corsair 750m power supply and a couple of Harddrives. But my question is regarding the dust filters on this case they are really good and all but when I take them off especially the front on my overall core temp drops by 5+ degrees C
CPU Havok 140 cooler 61 - 54 overclocked to 4.5Ghz
MOBO 49 - 43
ASUS Direct CUII R9 280x 79 - 73
Now I know these limits are not crazy high but what I am concerned about is overall airflow through the case and which is better. Higher temps or dust to the overall health and longevity of the equipment inside?
