Has anyone done any testing on switching the fan from an exhaust to an ingress orientation? I am thinking about doing that, after cleaning out the heatsink (full of dust) and putting a dust filter over the top if I do switch the orientation. Ultimately what I'm trying to do is get better temps over longer periods of time, with less maintenance. This is the first time I've had to clean dust out of the heatsink, but it's taken about an hour to do. I more like the idea of periodic cleaning of the dust filter instead Smiley

EDIT: The other option I'm considering is just applying more dust filters to the present intakes (on the sides), and at the front; luckily 92mm dust filters mostly line up with the screws that hold the sides onto the main frame. That said, a single 92mm filter leaves a small gap near the rear end of the side intakes, about 1cm wide, where there's no filtration.
