So what I wanted to try was check the effectiveness of a push-pull config. After playing around a bit with temps I ended up removing the filters and switching both fans to exhaust. I stuck the filters on to the other end and did some more testing.

Because the filters were not in the way noise was much diminished. Also now, after having got more familiar with o/cing and voltages, it seemed more apparent to me that exhaust was more effective.

So I stuck with this configuration and restored CPU to 3.5GHz, and temps were now well controlled. After a few more hours I've now pushed CPU to 3725 (LLC mode 3) with VCore topping out at 1.32. Also the GPU I pushed to 1525 @ 1.2125V.

Prime95 yields top temps of 93'C. Stressing GPU on AIDA64 yields 73'C. Noise is very low with these fans and for about an hour's gameplay it was well controlled.

I feel I've wasted my time a bit stressing on dust filtration, I'll be trying to cover up the tiny holes as much as I can with filters. But in the mean time I guess this is a good result.
