Review on ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Protect Your PC with 120mm x 2 Dust Filter Screens - Magnetized, Ultra Fine PVC Mesh, Black Color - 2 Pack by Ashwin Patel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great idea on paper.

As a plant builder, I'm always looking for dust reduction ideas, particularly ones that can be easily retrofitted into an existing enclosure. I decided to give it a try. Simply put, the airflow penalty causes more adhesion than no drop. So if you have a gaming PC, be careful as this will cause your rig to get hot. I tested before and after. World class quality and manufacturing. However, it's a concept that sounds great but just doesn't work, and I'm willing to bet that no other magnet-based screens do a better job. Here are the problems. *The product is too flat to fit on the grilles of all the PCs I've tried. Something you don't normally think of, but several PC fan grill holes are completely flush with the case, and all the cases I own don't fit this unit without leaving gaps for dust to get in. It kills the whole point of that *. I also didn't take into account that tiny holes that keep dust out also block airflow. My measurements have shown that the grilles block enough airflow to create a temperature rise of at least 3-10 degrees compared to the ambient. For my larger builds with smaller cases this doesn't work. It's a shame because I had high hopes for this product. If it worked, I'd probably buy a case to use in my day-to-day work and upgrade every system I came across.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Speed
