i usually blows out dust using the air compressor for pump tyres....

but my advice is to blow at afternoon/hot temperature coz in morning when blowing sometimes got moistures along with the wind

Just wanted to ask, is there a way to open up the parts holding the dust filters? For cleaning purpose ofcourse.

For the CM 692? Unfortunately no. You're going to have to wash the filter with the front panel together since it's not exactly removable. You could uinscrew the bottom part and from there attempt to extract the filter but it will be tough. Not a very smart move by Cooler Master in my opinion sad.gif. However, for the 4x 5.25" bays, you can probably take the filters out, but you could risk breaking the metal parts that hold the filter because it isn't exactly strong and probably wouldn't withstand too much bending back and forth.

You mean, just open the front panel and rinse in water?

Very sad la, thought can open up and clean out the dust filters just like that. sad.gif

It's not a very smart move truthfully. But on the bright side the users are forced to wash the front panel together and that keeps the chassis looking even better than ever. tongue.gif

Put filter = Clean case + high temp (due to restricted air flow)
no filter = good temperature (for a while) + then dust accumulates (high temp)

it still ends up high temp on both ways actually , but the filter is more reasonable.

It aledi comes with filter lah..
even if u install more filters at the side...dust will still find its way in~
the temp inside wont go up very high with filters~~Air can still go in at a high rate~

argh why u install the filters on ur side panel ? i think it will block more air flow and create more noise.

Gents, I have found a low cost solution to CM690 and probably other casing's dust accumulation problem.

I found this at DAISO

Total Cost of materials:

Dust filter   RM   5.00 (DAISO) 
Transparent Plastic   RM   5.00 (DAISO)
Thin Double-sided tape RM   1.50
Total:  RM 11.50

just tried this method on my corsair 400R, air flow has decreased a bit, i guess my fan static pressure is enough to penetrate the filter, but i still can feel the air blowing although not as strong as before

the most noticeable thing is THE SOUND FROM THE FAN IS GONE!! rclxm9.gif
