The question portion is anything I can do? The house has been dustier
the past several years -- others experiencing and have read due to some vulcano erupting years ago. Vent filters on the computer could make air
flow issues worse. And is there a way to monitor the temperature inside
the PSU? Is an EVGA or Thermaltake PSU.

More likely carpet getting worn and making more dust. That's the
source of most of my household dust -- thick but well-aged carpet
that both sheds and puffs, and the rest seems to come from the
attic's cellulose insulation. Somewhat mitigated if I regularly
vacuum the living crap out of the carpet. It's much dustier in
here than out on my porch, negating the notion of volcanic dust.
Also helps to change furnace filters regularly.

Make high-airflow filters from pantyhose, or here I've used some
very loose-celled foam (random piece that came as packing), or
you could cannibalize household furnace air filters. Foam is
probably the most effective as fine dust stopper, because it has
so many convolutions for dust to get stuck in.
Anyway, just cut to cover vents and fasten by whatever means is convenient. My foam filter sits under the half-a-box that I use
as a noise reducer since Silver's case has a fan on the top.
