Hi guys, I am going to clean my Corsair C70 dust filter today and I simply need to know which is the best way to do it. It has collected A LOT of dust since I last cleaned it probable because of the CM Jetflos that are currently behind it. would it be best to vacuum the dust out or can I put it under the tap and dry it?
secondly, is it best to take the CM Jetflo out of the case? This is the current fan set-up I have:

Front: 2*Corsair default C70 fans
Mounted on HDD rack: 1*CM Jetflo
Back: 1*Corsair default C70 fan

At this set-up, the average temperature of my AMD 8350 is 32 degrees. Is it safe to take the Jetflo out because of the sound and dust build up?

Thanks for reading!

Hello... 1) If it is a FOAM filter then Yes you can use the tap water-squeeze clean for it... but give it a day to air dry.
2) Remove power from it and monitor the TEMPs without it.

You can simply rinse it under a running tap water and dry it. As for removing the Jetflo fans, I don't think that it'll affect your overall cooling condition, the two fans in the front should be enough to suck in fresh air into your case... But I'd try and remove first and see if your CPU temp will change.
