Can I safely wash the dust filter of the Corsair Graphite 780T? I tried hoovering it but it didn't do much for some reason.

Looks like all plastic, so yeah, totally fine to wash it. Just remember to put a sieve or something over the drain so it doesn't clock with dust.

It is if you dry it carefully. Depending on the metal it could start to rust, but you can easily avoid this by drying it carefully with some paper tissues and a hairdryer for example. So as long as you get the moisture out it should be fine, just don't leave it out to air-dry for a day or so.

If the metal is coated then you shouldn't have a problem as long as you don't wash it too regularly.

 

Aluminum will be more corrosion resistant than steel with stainless steel being the best.


After washing it I would dry the metal frame with some sort of cloth just so that it's not sitting in the water. The actual screen can be allowed to air dry.

Thank you so much for the confirmation, it is very valuable to get a long paragraph in fluent english. Did it and it was fine, worth it! Thank you so much for your time buddy :)
