Rad Fans Intake up top of case. Dust ?

Hey you all one of the gurus here gave me advice which in turn I misunderstood.  We were talking about my Rad / Fan placement and he meant exhaust out ; This config I already had and temps were ok, nothing to write home about.  So in turn what I did was put the fans on top of case blowing cool air into the radiator.  This makes my mobo hotter and m.2  GPU not soo much.  I combat this be selecting switch 2 for both intake 140mm and outake fans.  Things then settle down.

I must say after doing 100 percent load aida temps have dropped dramatically.  I even get 40's c then low 50's maximum 60c back down to 48c or 53c.  I like this.  A bit later I realized wait a minute wtf, its going to blow all the dust into my case.  I wish that top had a filter.  Should I worry about dust in this config,  Should I change back to making it exhaust.. blowing air from inside the case to outside up top. ?

I found my answer,, amazon has filter.  In the meantime is this intake from up top gonna generate dust since I have to wait until maybe friday to get the filter I bought.

 even with a filter computers still generate dust, the filter helps keep some out out, but you still need to dust it with an outfit on and use any accent you feel. Seriously though. 

 

i modified a empty air canister and can fill it up with a bike pump when it gets low. cause i cant spend all my money on cfc free air in a  bottle all the time
