Aww just missed your post, I just ordered some Alaska dust filters from Amazon. I'm pretty sure they're actually the ones TTL used in Orca Gotta trust that!

or save money and use it as an exhaust? IMO that will be better anyway.

I can't cos of how my case's current airflow is set up because I only have 1 intake at the front (Will be 3) and have 2 in the roof (soon to be 3 as well) and then just 1 in the back , this is pretty much my only option unless I have the 2 top fans as intake?

 

[NeverBackDown]

go 3 for intake and 1 in the top/rear as exhaust?

 

[Feronix]

Don't use the top as intake though. I'd say 200mm front intake, 120mm (the rad) rear intake and 200mm top exhaust.

Having more intake than exhaust helps keeping dust out.

My case only has 120mm fan grills. should I order a 360 grill and put it in the front of my case and mount another 2 fans to it? then I could have 3 in, 3 out or 4 in, 2 out?

If you have $200 to spend and have a decent AMD motherboard, you should pick up an FX 8320/8350 with your left over funds.

Have you read the whole post? And thoughts on the grill idea?

 

[Feronix]

Oh, my bad. For some reason I thought you were the guy with the Haf X.

What case do you have and what's the fan-layout like?

 

[RadeonHDx]

Sorry, I was talking to Nibbles when I said that and the InWin Dragon Rider in white, I know its a terrible case for cooling but I am determines to make a good case out of it . Here's my upgrade log that isn't really up to date

Go for the 3 fans in the front as intake and the rear 120mm rad and the top fan(120/140mm) for exhaust. It will be 3 intake and 2 exhaust.

This should work.

 

[NeverBackDown]

I recommend 140s for the entire system if possible but 120s will do as well.

 

[RadeonHDx]

Well I'm working on an update log for the Dragon Rider build so you'll see that I've had some custom panels made so the 140's will deffo be in there

Got through most of it I wasn't sure if you decided to go with the 8320 or not. As for the grills are you talking about the dust filters? Depends on the case (which I couldn't find in your post either) and TBH I use pantyhose and/or cut-to-size air conditioner filters for my dust prevention

 

[RadeonHDx]

Yea, I decided to go for the 8320 and I bought one of the Alaska ones and I'm putting some industrial dust filter material in it if the dust filter isn't too good.
