But the fan gets less air doesnt it? Or i dont understand air..

Yes,the fans would get less air to push into the case.

What i'm trying to say is that there is no reason to remove them if your parts are not overheating.You are looking at only 2-3C cooler than now.

I personally would. The front of my case has the exact same foam and it is very restrictive.

Only if something is overheating.

"Only"? No nothing is overheating. But you said you would? It is sucking a loooot of dust. I took the stock cooler out and i almost choked to death from dust lol..

 

BTW: I see you have a hyper TX3 at 4.7ghz. Woud it be good for my 8350 ? The temps on 4.4Ghz 1.385v are ~52 when gaming.

Then why would you want to take out the dust filter if nothing is overheating? O.o

Yes,i would is something was overheating..And it did,so i took it off.

 

Unless you are referring to something else and i didn't understand.

Sounds about right. You can take them off to increase airflow or reduce fan speeds, but I personally wouldn't. I prefer cleaning these to cleaning my whole system and a slightly warmer PC is totally worth it for me.

Removing them would allow more dust into your system though. Is your issue with the dust, are you looking to replace them?

I cant clean them. Cleaning my pc isnt a problem for me. That is from 1 year of use.

It can drop the fan noise if it is that restricted, Silverstone dust filters cause a noticeable increase in noise
