Open-case vs Closed-case

[rno9201015]

I would like to know the changes in temperature, dust level.etc I need to know because I will change my case but I have no money and my current case isn't available to add any extra cooler.

There is no way of measuring dust level, and it depend son whether a close case is filtered, has positive airflow, etc etc etc

Also there is no way of knowing the difference in temps because that depends on the number of fans, type of cooler, airflow configuration, etc.

I have a wraith spire, and will get the Corsair ll120

My current GPU temp is 89 c on full load and I think it is the case's problem.

I personally use Corsair Graphite 230t case with total of 5 case fans (airflow as on screenshot) and if it comes to cleaning it from dust im super amazed how slow it gathers inside, even in the hot summer, thing worth noting is that I own a cat and PC itself is standing on the floor on a quite fluffy carpet (I placed a piece of cardboard under so the PSU had a place to breathe )  
If it comes to temps, my I5-4690k overclocked to 4,5GHz while for eg. gaming has about 60-70C and my GPU in stress has about 70-80C with closed case

My GPU is a reference GTX 780 that's overclocked a bit, usually goes up to 65-70c while gaming. CPU is a Ryzen 5 1600 overclocked to 3.7Ghz, usually goes up to 55-60c while gaming. I have the Wraith Spire cooler. On full load, my GPU will go up to 75-80c. Haven't measured my CPU at full load in a while, but I believe it went up to 70 or so.

 

I run an NZXT S340 with the following fan config:

Why don't you just take the panel of the case and see what difference you get. The amount of dust depends on how you have your fans positioned and how dusty your environment is. 

 

You can always ghetto-mod your case with some kind of filter for the entire side. Pantyhose is very usable, buy the black kind
