NZXT H440 owners question

[TheMidnightNarwhal]

My front dust filter doesn't rest fully flush. On the sides in the middle, it's elevated a bit. I need to use tape to make it flush. I contact NZXT about it and they never replied. Do you have the same issue?

i thought the front filter sits in some sort of flange on the bottom

Yeah but it's on the side.

I don't think I've seen that on mine. I'd just make sure the tape can hold well and leave it since the panel will cover it anyway.

Even if the pannel is over, the gap between the filter and the fan pannel is still there, the front pannel doesn't physically push back onto the filter.

Mine covers just fine.  Maybe the frame of the filter is warped.  Try taking it out and setting on a flat surface to see if the gap would still be there.  If it lays flat look for something on the case that is keeping it from sitting flush.  Take a pic and posted so we can see.

Have you tried pushing on the sides of it in the middle. I'll take it out and put a pic.

Yeah looks like it's crooked or something.
