Cleaning h100i rad

My radiator is way too dusty and dirty to the point to where it's affecting cpu performance. I was going to take it outside and just spray it with compressed air but apparently I heard that it wouldn't work. Is that true? If so what's the other way of cleaning it?

This would work perfectly fine, just blow from the opposite direction of the fans on it.

When in doubt: C4

If the dust doesn't dissapear after compressed air, try to clean it with supercleaner a little. No water, just supercleaner  ^_^

Vacuum works well. Disconnect the whole rad/pump assembly from the PC first, though.

Wait really? I could use a vacuum? The thought passed my mind but I thought static build up would affect the rad too! Thanks I was running low on compressed air xD
