Ventillation/Cooling Question

[liquidfluidity]

Ok , I have an Alienware case and have pretty good circulation . I have 2 120mm fans for exhaust and 3 80mm fans for intake. The problem I have is that I'm getting that dust in all of the nooks and crannies of the case which is black. Kind of unsightly since the case is out in the open. Is this a problem with too much intake or too much exhaust? One of the 120s is the stock Alienware one and the other is the exhaust fan on my psu. There are 2 Arctic Cooling 80s and 1 Coolermaster. I don't have the exact CFM numbers but I think that they all have good numbers and are quite quiet. The noise culprit is the Alienware 120. It seems to have quite high CFM and is a bit louder than I'd like but I don't want to sacrifice cooling as my cpu cooler blows directly into it. What are some suggestions for getting rid of the dust issue? Do I need to increase the pressure inside of the case or lessen the pressure by having more exhaust?

If it’s really problems for you try putting filters on the intake fans and cranking up the exhaust. The object of case air flow is to have front to back or front to top airflow with no dead spots. Get that hot air out of the case asap. Increasing pressure inside the case can create warm air pockets from lack of circulation.

Thanks for replying. My flow inside is great and my temps are pretty acceptable - about 30*C at idle(system) and 25*C cpu at idle. my drives are running a few degrees cooler than sys. I guess that the dust issue is more of a cosmetic and personal preference than an actual flow issue. I just thought that maybe there was something else I could do to alleviate the dust issue and maybe drop the temps a little more.
