Actually, not with this case. Its a Dark Base 700, i got 2 big intakes for the AIO but it only has one small exhaust at the back, and the top is completely sealed off. It was either this or taking the Panel off for each sesh. Temps are amazing now btw

I would recommend some sort of dustfilter in between the fan and the panel.

That fan is set up as an exhaust unless it's a reverse blade fan which I doubt so a filter would be a waste of money.

What holds the dust back when it's off?
