Is Microfiber cloth good as intake filter? 1 Attachment(s) I need the unfiltered top-rear fan on my Corsair Obsidian 550D to be an intake. I'm thinking of mounting a 140mm and draping a microfiber cloth for a washable filter. Are there any downsides to this method that I've missed? As an aside, is there a better way to arrange the airflow? |
Air Intake like that is going to be horrible. Front/Top you want as intake and exhaust out the back as normal. Microfibre will be too think.. use pantyhose if you want to do it on the cheap. |
Forgot to mention the fans on top are for radiators handling CPU/GPU loop. Does that change the situation or still should go out the back? I'm looking at getting Scythe Slip Stream 120mm PWM. |
If a rad is on top then leave it blowing up but put your rear fans exhausting. Air flow in a case always gets screwed up with a rad. Just make sure that your intake/exhaust fans don't blow faster or move more air than your radiator fans |

They look great, and keep in theme with the rest of the case's magnetic filters. Thanks! |
Yeah microfiber is too thick |
Don't use a microfiber cloth cause you'll pretty much no airflow with that. I'm running the same fan setup by the way, with a triple radiator up top. I just have mine unfiltered and I vacuum my rig from time to time. I'm sure you can find an add-on 120mm fan filter for just a few bucks. Or like said above, panty hose MIGHT work. |

You should use panty hose as it will filter a lot of the big dust particles and can be stretched over whatever fan surface you need. |
