The filter fits the Corsair chassis perfectly. The holes in the filter are much smaller than the filter that came with the chassis. The workmanship and finish are beautiful. I also ordered the front filter for this Corsair chassis. The quality is the same. I didn't want to cover it up by putting the front cover back on. The magnet that goes around the inside of the filter gives a good tight seal. I was worried about airflow. Airflow is not a problem. In fact, after playing with the fan speeds, I was actually able to reduce speeds and temperatures were fine.
