What is Reddit's opinion of SilverStone Technology SST-FF121 120mm Ultra Fine Fan Filter with Magnet Cooling?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Your graphics card will always protect itself from overheating by throttling it’s own performance when it gets hot. So no worries about damaging it because it’s built with only one fan.

You can always buy a 120mm fan, put some grill guards onto the fan to prevent the blades from cutting your fingers, then point the fan at the graphics card to cool it.

Where? There’s this little thing called Amazon, ever heard of it?

That’s just one of many options, there’s literally hundreds of fan filters to choose from. Do you honestly think my PC is the only thing I prevent from getting dusty? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Perhaps this would work, might be a bit too slim though. Id use it in combination with the noctua noise dampening nubs.

Yeah, amazon or newegg. Both will surely have some nice ones..

Edit: here's one www.amazon.com/SilverStone-120mm-Filter-Grill-FF121/dp/B0036WTDHK/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1530318649&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=fan+grill+120mm

I don't think that a couple of inches you could get from higher feet would make a big difference. Putting it on a table might.

Otherwise, try not to have an intake fan that doesn't have a filter. If you have that problem, you can get magnetic filters. Don't forget the one for the PSU on the bottom of the case. And clean them every now and then.

It's probably not a big deal unless you are in an incredibly dusty environment.

One thing you can do to reduce dust inside your case is to create positive pressure by having more intake fans than exhaust fans. If you only have the case fan that the 88R came with, make it an intake fan in a filtered intake and every other opening will be pushing air out. If none of the intakes have a filter, you can get one of these magnetic guys. Although I'm not sure how they would fit with that case.

You can also clean your case every now and then using a can of compressed air. But don't freak out about it, cleaning the rig once every few months should be enough in most circumstances.

Looks like these (120 or 140mm idk which) https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Technology-SST-FF121-Filter-Cooling/dp/B0036WTDHK

I live alone so it's not really an issue.

I'm thinking about buying something like this, mostly for aesthetic reasons

Amazon

It wouldn't help too much with dust or thermals at that point, the only thing that'd help with dust is fan filters, and the only thing to significantly help with thermals is an AIO or custom loop. Your thermals are good, I'd leave them.

Honestly, just get some 120mm dust filters, like this or these.

These might help you out a bit, mate

Please reply to post before sending a PM. Moreover, all prices are OBO. Discounts available for buying more than one item. For local interest, I am in Towson, MD. Thanks.

>Can you explain your buckets air flow and air filtration?

My bucket has two passive 120mm intakes that are covered with mesh filters and a single 120mm exhaust in the lid that connects to a 4" flange with dryer ducting. There is a 4" 190 CFM In-Line fan connected to a 4x12 Carbon Filter. I also have a variable fan controller on the in-line fan. I run mine at about half power.

>What do you have your plant in? Planter and soil on the bottom of bucket ect?

I use a 5g nursery pot. For my next grow I will be switching to a smart pot to avoid it getting rootbound.

>I was thinking of extending a 5g bucket under the brute can so the soil is under the setup and the plant itself is in the brute only allowing more space to grow.

If you're gonna do that you're better off getting one of those 5g DWC setups. With that said, I'd advise against doing that. Reason being is you add another layer of complexity in that you have to figure out how to support the brute and you run risks with light leaks. This also puts the brute much higher than you are which can make servicing/watering awkward.

I just have mine sitting on the bottom of the bucket in the pot. The newer style Brutes cause you to lose a few inches but if you can budget to buy two of them and use one as a spacer, it works well.

>Would that work or would I have an issue with temperature difference between roots and plant?

I am not experienced enough to say yay or nay but I doubt it?

Dust in the PC will increase temperatures... so its better if you dont have it

You can use compressed air cans to clean it up once in a while, or get dust filters like these ones

Fan filters like these are pretty popular.

Nope, it won't harm anything. Something like this may help though.
