Dust and Heatercores...

Is there a problem with dust and heatercores? like, does the dust settle in the fins?

Covers them... I keep everything in my system open air and the radiator gets by far the worst dust build up. Probably because its the only thing with fans though.

Open as well, and yes dust does get in the fins. However it does not affect temps by more than a degree C. Although when you run your system after just cleaning the HC, it is a good 2-5db's quiter. The dust makes noise. Not nearly the amount of noise as a filter though. Just clean you shit once a month, and you will have no worries.
