Do you have filters on all of your fans?
Just intake?
Intake is all that would really be necessary.
Too many filters will restrict airflow to the point of being counter-productive in my opinion.
I tried once filter - or actually steel wire mesh. It restricted the air flow too much in my opinion (couple degrees higher temperatures or higher fan speed with more noise). So I prefer dust in machine - it is easy to remove periodically.

I have 2 120mm intake fans with aluminum mesh and dryer sheets over them. My temps did not budge when I put them on. Because of where they are I find they sucked in lots of things and I had to filter them.

I have a filter on my big 120, it helps a lot.
