Are the dust filters only accessible if the fans are removed? (similar to the GD05B)

Not familiar with gd05b, but yes you need to remove the fans to access the filters

No. You could replace old fans with new fans or simply clean the fans periodically.

These might cause the fan to increase the noise if running at full speed, but this is expected from any filter. I would only install them on intake fans, they really catch a lot of dust.

There should be a standard cheap filter for small particulate/dust. They should all be standard and need no adapter.

A box of the Swiffer dry dusting cloths will come in handy for this. I use a single layer in front of my computer air intake fans, do the same with any of these fans. It won't look very pretty, but they work well to keep dirt out.

I simply vacuum over the intake and it gets the dust out well. Then Windex and a cloth around the fan ring. I do the every week or so. They're great.

As mentioned below the air flow is a little bit restricted but it does allow some air. I went to Corsair's site and ordered their high air flow front plate. It's a front panel that is screened, yet the framing is still sporting the brushed metal face. picked it up for a mere $15.00 + shipping. Best of all, the fine dust filter that came with the stock case fits behind the new screen face. I did change out my stock 140mm fans with Cougar 140's Vortex hydro-Dynamic-bearing fans. There far quieter and have better Static Pressure than the stock fans. Plus they are PWM where the stock ones are 3 pinned. So now it's still a quite case even with the open air front.

The fan on top of ur PSU is actually an intake(usually), not the exhaust. The exhaust is the rear of the PSU. So it will suck cool air from below and exhaust hot air out the back, instead of sucking hot air from the case if it were up. That is y there is a removable filter at the bottom as it collects dust before it's sucked into the PSU

Hello there..It is always preferable to put rear fans blowing out. But be sure you are creating a single air flow direction. You may not need intake fans and create enough negative air pressure within the case that air will enter through any other openings, but it's also preferable to put filtered intake fans with more capacity than the outlet fans so you always keep the dust where it should be and a fresh computer case.

There are a couple of screws that hold the dust port on one end and a flat plastic plate on the other. Just remove the screws and swap out the port with the plate and screw everything back in place. Should be no problem Cheers, Dean

There is an exhaust port. And the air that comes out is hot. But I don't believe dust or debris can escape, since it has a filter there. I've never noticed any dust or debris coming from there.

It does not... Lots of air input grilles but you will want filters for all the grilles that have either no fans or input fans. Highly recommend the "Silverstone Tek - Ultra Fine" filters... They come in black or white and you will need a combination of 120mm and 140mm filters... Make sure you have enough computer case fan screws... Got the screws from the vendor Koolertek on Amazon... The filters are direct from Amazon.

It's not a problem. They're designed to be mounted that way, as the screen is used as a dust filter. All you need to do is periodically slide the screen out (it's easily removable) and blow the dust off of it. In fact, mounting it this way if possible is even better, as the PSU will take in cool outside air instead of hot air from inside of the case, and exhaust it out the back of the case so the air is completely separate from the rest of your components.

Yes. I have the H110 installed in a push configuration. You will need to remove the dust filter from the very top unless you shave off a small portion of the dust filter where the screws are located on the top if you still want to use the dust filter. It is a tight fit and you will have to be patient putting it in, but other than that, this case does fully support the H110.

I've never used the filter without the dust cover but I can say that the unit does restrict air flow somewhat. I have in inline 400 cfm fan attached to the filter and there is some slight blow back with the filter attached...I use the filter to mask odor and it does an excellent job and I have no complaints! If your Hyper Fan pushes more than 400 cfm then I wouldn't worry about the resistance. Hope this helps!

Depends on what kind of fans/filters you are using, and where the system is. In general, using directed air fans with no filters and my case on the floor (living room) I have to clean it twice a month(minimum, I clean it whenever I vacuum). If you keep your case on a desk you can reduce that to once every other month... if you use dust filters, you can simply clean those (which is quicker then cleaning the radiator.
