Any thoughts on Cooling vs Dust

I am trying to minimize dust while keeping a good cooling.

I dont use a case because intake fans will blow dust in faster and noisier

 

My current pc setup is just like testbench, with a lid and 4 sides are hollow, all fans (CPU, GPU, PSU) covered with a net

but I find dust build up very fast, I need to clean it every 2 months, or it will start overheat

 

any thought?

It overheats after 2 months even without a case? Do you live in an oven?

Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.9 Ghz  | Gigabyte AB350M Gaming 3 |  PaliT GTX 1050Ti  |  8gb Kingston HyperX Fury @ 2933 Mhz  |  Corsair CX550m  |  1 TB WD Blue HDD


Inside some old case I found lying around.

Unless you put your system in a clean room, conditioned environment, or crafted box with filtered airflow, you're SOL.  Air flow, relative humidity and electrostatic fields around fans and electronics will attract dust.  Seems your in a dusty spot.
