My h100i has accumulated a bit of dust in the radiator and my electric duster doesn't quite cut it. Would be possible to pour water through it (from a sink) to clean it?

im pretty sure dust is hydrophobic meaning the water is repelled best way is a good blow with your lungs or an air duster

I wash the fins of mine with a pressure washer whenever i take it out the case. Dont hold it too close and you wont have any problems.

You can wash them, but I personally use an air compressor at home... it´s fast and easy :) .
