About buying them, they will cost ~150/- each. Try that Lian Li reseller in E.

1. You can use some kind of small metal pieces, and stick them with the help of double sided tape. If you want to go cheap, take a piece of cardboard, paint it black and stick it :-D :-D.
2. One of our forum members have bought some lian li dust filters. You can check out the latest purchase thread. I would say don't use dust filters for the fans. They don't allow very continuos airflow. Instead cover the unwanted openings :)

to block fan vents use transparent cellophane paper - fold them 3-4 times to get the desired thickness - stick the using black tape with the cabby.

White paper with Black cabinet = color mismatch = bad interior look.

Why are compressed air cans recommended as opposed to vacuum cleaners/blowers for cleaning cabinets?

No idea what you mean....
I personally clean my cabby with compressed air from my Bicycle pump.. :-D:-D (You too may do this.)


A bicycle pump creates a lot of pressure & blows clouds of dust out from heatsinks :)twisted:BEWARE you have been warned of dust:twisted:) .... :lol::lol:

Also you may need an assistant for blowing the pump continuously. :p

^Elaborate please?

I'll explain the reason with the help of one example.
If vacuum cleaner were used, it may have created static electricity in the motherboard due to the fact that vacuum cleaner is ran by electricity. After cleaning when PC is started, that per-accumulated static electricity may damage the motherboard while being present with current electricity. That's why any dust cleaner which is run by electricity should be avoided.
Here blower is operated manually, not with electricity. So there is no chance of accumulation of static electricity in the motherboard and therefore completely safe.

your gfx card is overheating ? Post The Load Temp.
Is this gfx card based on reference PCB model ? anyway, finding a aftermarket VGA cooler in here is next to impossible.
