| The problem of dust build-up
inside computers has been with us ever since the introduction of
cooling fans. Dust is the enemy of reliability but unfortunately
it is inevitable that along with cool air, fans are very good at
bringing it into the inside of your PC case. The problem is made
worse in dusty environments or where the PC is located on the
floor. Dust not
only makes working inside your PC much less pleasurable, it
affects reliability because a thick layer of dust can exhibit a
certain amount of electrical capacitance and conductivity which
is clearly not what you want inside the workings of your
machine! Just as seriously, it will reduce the working life of
your PC’s fans and increase the risk of overheating.
The simple answer is to
install a fan filter on all your PC’s intake fans, and we have
not come across any products more effective or better made than
these ones from Fansis. Once the fan filter assembly is screwed
onto the intake side of your 80, 92 or 120mm fan, it will ensure
a near-100% filtration of all airborne dust before it is able to
enter the fan and therefore the PC. The foam density has
designed to be high enough to catch dust, but low enough not to
reduce airflow.
Of course no-one wants to buy
a replacement fan filter once the old one has become clogged, so
you will be pleased to know that the foam supplied in these
Fansis filters is 100% washable in cold water, and reuseable. A
simple clipping mechanism ensures that the foam can even be
removed for washing without having to unscrew the filter! |
