H20 Guys How often?

[fullinfusion]

Have a question for ya water coolers out there.

How often do you clean the outside fins of your water cooling radiator?

I did mine 4 months ago and It already looks like it needs the fans pulled and a cleaning.
Weird how the rad picks up so much dust and fine parts of hair over the rest of the system especially using filters on the case.

I know when benching I'll pull the side panel off the case just for lower crossfire temps but really,
That much on only 1-2 nights a week of benching for 3-4 months?

jeez my home isn't filthy by any means

I have 5 of my rigs under water and haven't cleaned them yet. Maybe I should look into that. But my temps are great.

I clean mine every few months. about twice a year ill do a full strip down and clean/soak in soapy water etc.

My rads are outside so get a blasting from a powerful hairdryer on cool, or a vacuum. Hairdryer is the best trick ive learnt for blasting away dust.

I got a 3 stage water filter for the compressor in the shop I set the air control down to 35PSI and that makes short work of any dusting got sick of the bad taste from "canned air"
