Just a quick question about fan set up

[lithium_6]

I've a masterbox q300l case, initially I installed 3 corsair AF120 fans (2 front intakes and 1 rear exhaust). I'm running a R5 2600 OC to 3.6Ghz all cores base and RX580 OC 1450Mhz.

 

The ambient temp where I live is around 30 - 36 C, so I decided to get some extra fans. Right now i have the original 3 AF120s and I added 2 120 sickleflow (top exhaust) and the stock 120mm fan cooler master that came with the case as a bottom intake.

 

My cpu runs under 70C with Cinebech and Furmark @1080p finishes at around 72C.

 

I'm not sure is this set up is an overkill or if the position of my fans made my case a vacuum cleaner and I will get a lot of dust inside but I did noticed that my system runs quieter under load.

 

So, should I reduce the amount of fans or change the intake/exhaust setup?

5 120mm fans?

If thats overkill im in trouble. hahaha

 

But no i dont think thats bad.

If it works.

 

And if you keep positive pressure inside the case (more intake fans then output) the dust will only collect with the intake fans. A filter would work.
But the amount of fans dont really make a PC more or less dusty, its how dusty the room is the PC stands in.

It's fine you kinda have to brut force air through that case anyways

6 120 mm Well it is a mAtx case and i filled every space available with fans XD, but I was concern about turning it in a dust buster. I use this build in my shop and it is kinda dusty. The case has magnetic filters all around but the mesh size is not really small I will check in a month how much dust collects and maybe add extra filters for the intakes if needed. 

 

 

I wasn't planning to overclock but once I started tweaking the setup I couldn't stop myself, it works my temps are lower and its quieter than with the 3 fan set up.
