Corsair RGB Splitter a thing?

t0 a degree your right. but when you have a massive amount of Positive pressure you pull in more dust than negative would.
the idea is to have the inlet(filtered) to be a little higher then the output to stop dust been pulled on via open grills and stuff like then

Still not getting how positive pressure can pull the dust in....

how do you get positive pressure more air in than out.. fans pulling air in. if filtered the dust will be less but it will still be pulled in and by running 6 intake you will still pull a lot of dust in.

if you dont understand how positive pressure can pull dust in do you really understand what you have done?
 
Well. I've got to leave that thread, as there's no point to prove you being wrong, as you don't really understand simple physics.
Case can't pull the air from outside, due to the positive pressure inside the enclosure. So the air is pushed in by the fans through the filter.
You're obviously wrong.
Every 8-9 moths i do a light brush of the rig, and the dust volume is next to nothing.

you run fans about 40% lower for the same airflow and temps, so less to no noise

in my old system the fans didnt spin at idle and would only go to 50% under max load keeps everything well under the specs max temps with an hefty overclock

It doesn't offer any advantage having push/pull over just push or pull. Adding extra fans won't make much difference to temps. You might see a 1 or 2 deg difference at best. Also it creates more dust to clean out.

you are missing the point of my build, my rad with push pull is 60mm thick, it’s the ek xl, without push pull only one half of the radiator gets any air flow. Fact.

The link below shows the 28mm thick SE radiator and the 60mm thick XE radiator. The push or pull performance is fairly similar for both rads.

What cpu are you cooling anyway ?

It’s a ryzen 3950x Overclocked to 4.4 on all cores and an RTX 2080Ti (msi lightning). It will maintain this Overclock in prime 95 for 35 mins before the heat saturates too much, and is totally stable for any normal usage.

I have 2x EK PE 360 with push fans, and 1x EK XL with push/pull.

I tested your theory for the real world by unplugging the pull fans. And for the first 15 minutes you were correct. However after that I developed a hot spot on the bottom rad and the temps went up by 6 degrees on the cpu at load, and appear like they may have kept rising. In order to get the same performance as push pull I had to up the rpm from 800 to 1700 and the system was considerably louder.
 
That is the worst case scenario though (Prime 95). Under normal usage the cpu isn't going to get as hot as it would running that. Also not really much benefit overclocking Ryzen anyway. Usually best to let precision boost handle it.
