I have dust filters installed and i have positive pressure, yet I still get a ton of dust inside my r4, any help in reducing the amount of dust would be appreciated.

Do you have pets and/or have your PC on the floor?

Yeah I have my PC on the floor in a corner.

I thought it was negative presure that help reduce dust. all my systems run in negative but then again they all sit on a desk about 3 feet off the ground.

positive pressure helps reduce dust because it is trapped in the filter before beeing pushed in and out of the case.

The best thing against dust is to put your case more than 1 feet off the ground.

Anything I write is just a comment, take is as such, there is no guarantees associated with anything I say.
