Outside of the case, it's simpler to remove and inspect dust accumulation. At 7:02 you can see the exterior mesh panel, which appears to be metal. The filter is placed on top of it, outside. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4-YI21GDSc. It's similar to having a front filter over the standard mesh panel on the case.

€500? Really? That much?
I bought a Thermaltake Commander F6 RGB 6-channel fan controller for €49.40.
Also, even if you wanted to, this external fan controller won't fit in your H9 Flow case because it needs a 5.25" bay, which your case doesn’t have. My case has three of those, and I needed them when choosing a PC case myself.
Gotcha, thank you! Now, another question about a different subject: How much GPU brackets are required for my setup? I’ve heard from people that modern GPUs are long and heavy, which can cause problems, so I’m worried they might bend. To my surprise, most brackets don’t fit well, and I’d need something with a magnetic attachment. That’s what I found out. What do you think—do I really need one? Are these stories I read accurate, or should I check if it bends before deciding?
Single and dual-slot GPUs can function adequately without any GPU support. Triple and quad-slot GPUs require one. Given you have a triple-slot GPU with triple fans (a large and long heatsink), it’s best to opt for one. The GPU alone weighs 1.3kg. Otherwise, you’re likely dealing with either a cracked PCB at the PCI-E slot on the GPU (which would be unusable) or an open PCI-E x16 slot (the new MoBo fix is the only solution). It looks like you have several options to consider.

The side and bottom fan frames are the ones I don't like personally.

It's not as severe as I anticipated regarding software aspects, though some Corsair enthusiasts connect effortlessly like Lego, passing power through each other with just one cable. Once connected, you can link another set using the same cable. It's ideal for those concerned about or struggling with cable organization. If you opt for Corsair iCue, which isn't as problematic as before, you gain the ability to manage each color and mode separately (refer to the details below). Just steer clear of their QX line.
Connection setup can be done in this manner (just an example; you can link multiple fan sets together with a single cable, excluding the AIO and reservoir).

I'm not a Corsair fan, but they came in as the top alternative among available fans, matching Noctua closely—though Noctua is quite expensive. Give them a try and let your preferences guide you.
