NZXT S340Elite airflow/dust issues

Hi All,

 

I run the following configuration in a NZXT S340Elite case.

  • I7 7700K
  • Kraken X62
  • Asus GTX1080Ti OC
  • Samsung Evo 850 500GB
  • 2*HDD WD 3TB

I use the original fans from the Kraken as intake in the front, a Corsair ML 140mm as top exhaust and Corsair Silent 120mm as rear exhaust.
 

What I noticed using some smoke is that when the GPU is working harder like Gaming or Graphical editing, the fans of the GPU start to spin and they begin to suck air through the rear of the case.
Dust (smoke) enters the case through the small holes from the perforated backside.

What I would like to do is getting more Positive airpressure by using the topfan as intake also.
But missing a filter in the top makes this a big nono.
Also wander if there are other people who have this issue and how they deal with this.

 

thanks.

Uou could tape up the holes for the PCIE brackets. In addition, there's also these

The tapejob was the first thing I did. It just relocates the issue.
Would changing the topfilter from exhaust to intake do a good job for this issue?
