What’s the best way to clean a very dusty radiator? Can I just soak it in distilled water to clean it all off or can that rust the fins or anything like that?
I slide zipties on a stick thru the rad and fan to keep them from spinning (example top 360 rad = 3 zip ties tight on a 1/4in dowel rod spaced out. Then gently lower the zip ties thru the rad and thru the fan blades. This will keep the fans from spinning). You don't want to spin the fans as it will generate current and if overspun can damage bearings. Then I use a Data Vac and if needed a SOFT brush to get the dust loose.
