I got a few things to get some better airflow in my HAF932 Advanced and to keep the dust out but feel that I have messed up slightly with my options.
The DemCiFlex Dustfilter Set - (very expensive) but pretty well made with magnetic borders that fit around the places that are most prone to dust build up. Drawback is they resist dust and air (case fans) in the process.
The HAF932 Advanced is an open mesh design that (at stock) provides very good airflow but with the above dust kit seems to need a lot better fans running full force to be able to move enough air into and out the case.
The Bitfenix Spectre PRO PWM 140MM are very nice looking and provide good airflow (with the drawback of being loud running at full speed 1800RPM ) anything under 1300RPM is ok though.
The Bitfenix Spectre PRO 120MM - are also very nicely designed (same design as the 140MM) but sadly , as Stulid mentioned in another thread, they push air like a mouse is trying to cough, even running full speed. Personally I think that if I fart you can move more air than these in an hour
They are relatively silent but you should avoid these like the plague if you really want your case to be cool.
The Bitfenix Recon is a looker but with a hell of a lot of wiring. It takes some getting use to and a youtube video or two to run it like you would intend. For some odd reason it has a mind of it's own and turned off my rear exhaust fan for no apparent reason. I tinkered a little but got ****ed off (especially with the temp probs that fill your case with unwanted wiring). I prefer the mobo fan headers to control what is happening and just took this out of my case. (whats the reasoning behind using a smartphone to control your fans anyway?)
With all these my temps are worse, mainly due to the filter kit (going against the original manufacturers testing with the mesh design) and I think I might need to look into other options as my Titan X is running 4C hotter.
