what material for filter

[CTA]

this thread is interesting to read... Some Wire Mesh/Filter/Fan Grill Testing... - XtremeSystems Forums

but i cant find ac ryan meshx anywhere in canada...

and i also find another silly but unique filter at Computer Dust Filters | DustX Computer Dust Solutions

so what kind of material for fitler do you use for your radiator?

I wouldn't bother using a filter - unless there is that big of a problem with dust. They just add restriction and noise to the situation, and no one wants that :p

I don't use anything. My PC doesn't collect dust very well as it is in the basement, and I am practically the only one down there - and thats not even that often. I just use some comprassed air and a vacuum once every couple months.

Even then it's not that bad.

is it easy to clean radiator? i dont want to unhook the tubing then clean it if radiator is at the tight location...

ac ryan only have 3% air flow loss compare to other... (how to say that?)

I use to use Silverstone filters but they are so damned restrictive I am back to not using any. I'd rather clean out my radiator once every month or two than deal with the added noise and significant loss in CFM.

Just Take compressed air to it.

The AC Ryan is mesh, it wouldn't do a thing to prevent dust.

If you can get the fans off, you can clean it with a vacuum cleaner. Easy as that.

Filters cannot be good at both letting air through effectively and keeping dust out. It is one way or the other. What I would recommend is get those low restriction mesh filters and clean it once every month depending on how dusty your room is. It doesnt trap dust well though and eventually you will need to clean the rad. If your room is not really dusty, you dont need one.

my suite is not that dusty... so i am okay with clean the radiators... thank you for some advices tho...

but what about psu? i bet you cant open the psu case and clean it...

use your girlfriends worn/torn nylon hose to make inlet filters

That's why I use a pull method for my radiator. Much easier to clean :) I blow air into the opening, and the fans help suck it out. On the other side is the vacuum
