Corsair 680X Dust Filter

One of the side panels on this case is ventilated.  I believe one of the magnetic dust filters is supposed to cover that vent.  I’m not sure, however, if the dust filter goes on the inside or outside of the case.  The manual for the 680X is borderline useless.

The manual has a pretty simple diagram of the case which shows if a dust filter goes on the inside or outside.

I = inside

O = outside.

But of course inside could mean inbetween the frame and the outside case piece.

Hello,

 

It's just in front of the fans (so inside-ish) :

That’s a different filter.
