Will this have positive air pressure?

My house is extremely dusty and I want to keep as much of it out of my case as possible.

To help with this I want to make sure my case has positive pressure and isn't going to be sucking dusty air in through unfiltered parts of the case.

Heres the build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Aedris/saved/PxNpbv

I'm planning to mod the top and front of the case with steel or aluminum mesh, so they shouldn't hinder airflow nearly as much as the base model of the case.

This is my planned layout: https://imgur.com/a/h0ZV6

Planning on running two 960 EVOs in raid 0 using Asus dimm.2 card, and I will be delidding my 8700k with liquid metal and trying to push it to its limit. I'm also planning to mount my gpu vertically above the pcie slots toward the side panel.

Will those two noctua fans @~800rpm provide enough airflow to overcome two 140mm on the kraken and a 120mm on the evga clc?

I'm not very bothered by noise so if I need to up them to 1000-1200rpm that's no problem.


Thanks in advance!

cannot find the rpm for the 1080 ti hybrid but unless it has a rpm of over 2000 i believe you will have a positive air pressure. i note however that having positive air pressure causes the cooling to be less effective and also that most of the air pulled in is going to be sucked straight out and very little will reach the gpu fan

Yea i believe the vrm is cooled by the block on this card and i figure the rest of the board components will be ok with the limited airflow being next to the side panel, so im not too worried about it overheating, majorly just worried about dust ingress and airflow over the motherboard vrm and ssds, Thanks for your quick reply!
