Top of case mode

William M · April 29, 2020

I have NXZT 710 case.(https://www.nzxt.com/products/h710i-matte-white) The one thing I don't like the case is top of the case. That is all closed off. This is really of case of system running really warm. I have amd 3950x in case with aio with 280mm raid. The system runs 2 gpu on it. The system is also running Virtualization and running 2 OS at once. One the OS I have converting 480p media to 1080. I have running though the cpu. I am to cheap to buy the program to render to gpu. The one image is attached AMD rx480 this image is what I use for generally use(work stuff, productive stuff, and web surfing). The other image is the gaming image I am using Nvidia evga 2070 Super. So I took the top of the case off and that lowered Coolant temp 15c. What could use to make new top of the case that is vented and keeps some of dust out. My first though was to use metal screen stuff you would use in a window. Any other ideas? I am not to concern with looks. As the case is below desk on plastic matt.

The simplest would be to take off the top case section, and to get some nice fine mesh filters. If you want to make it so it looks nice and integrated you can cut the top section of the case panel and install a grate around the opening to edge it.
