Is Push Pull DUSTY?

Will PUSH PULL in an AIR 540 be dusty? If I get my H100i, mount TWO SP120 High performance by corsair as push in the bottom and TWO SP120 L Stock H100i fans on the top as PULL, will it get dusty?

AGAIN, This will mount on the top of the AIR 540. please dont tell me to get other fans, I only have that option. So..?

No, that case has air filters and you will be pulling air from the case right?
 
The case only has ONE FILTER and that is on the side....the top has NO FILTERS! :(...or are you talking about AIR filters not DUST filters? I dont know how pulling and pushing works....I just want to do it like that video of linus i sent you in which his sp120 HP are at the bottom and the SP 120L I THINK the back is pointing AWAY....but Will it have dust cause the top has no filters? It will be sitting on my desk. And what do you mean by "will be pulling air from the case right" I dont know....If the sp 120 HP are facing down where I CAN SEE the red things pointing DOWN, is that pulling? This is so confusing. Is push pull like intake and exhaust? Can we just use those words?

Push-pull is one fan pushing air through the rad and when one is pulling through the rad.
I mean't you are having air pushed /pushed from the case through the rad and out the case, That is the way Linus has it, so no it won't be dusty.

Yes.
 
Oh ok....So final answer. THE CASE WILL NOT GET DUST? Cause it has AIR FILTERS not dust filters....

SP120 HP: at the bottom of the rad with the nice color rings pointing down.

SP 120 L: Top of the rad, ugly back part pointing away from the rad


total: Both fans FRONT PART are pointing DOWN

correct?

MAIN QUESTION: Will it get dusty, if not, how? There are no dust filters on top

EDIT: Linus had his SP120 HP's as push right?

Yes, Linus has SP120 as push.
Because the air is being pushed out side the case making a higher pressure pulling dust away.
 
Oh...I thought the SP 120 L will be pull (Which i know it is) But i thought that meant it will be TAKING AIR INSIDE THE CASE....its like exhaust/ exhaust? Isnt 5 exhaust and 2 intake bad or..?

So the SP120 HP is taking the air out of the case through the rad and the sp 120 l is pulling that air that the sp 120 HP took into the rad OUT of the rad?

You said it yourself
 
Yeah but im talking about screwing the ONES IN THE TOP. Sorry, I meant mounting the top fans...I know how to mount the bottom. Use the long screw through the SP 120 HP and the rad but how do I mount the ones on top to the rad and the case?
 
Like how do i mount the H100i IN PUSH PULL? MOUNT, INSTALLATION. I know I take a long screw and go trhough the sp 120 hp;s at the bottom and through the rad and then screw the rad in from the top but thats it.....How do I install the top fans? and do you recommend having the H100i tubes coming form the LEFT or the right (over the ram)

How many screws do you have?
 
Let me check the H100i. I still didnt open my PC parts. I get 8 of the long screws so that is for the SP 120 HP and the rad. 4 thumb nuts for the cpu block. Bunch of standoffs. 8 NORMAL screws I assume to mount the rad to the case. And liek 8 small spacer circle things which i dont think I need.
