PCB Color on Video Cards

[I.R.A]_FBi · Apr 4, 2008

anyone likes the voltage adjustment in gui idea, palit_guy?

how about a dark blue pcb?

rangerone766 · Apr 5, 2008

i've seen the purple pcb's, contrasts with the yellow well and looks good. altho white pcb with gold accents would look pimp.

ANYTHING BUT STANDARD RED OR GREEN so boring of color choices
other shades of green and red are ok

I still think the dark white pcb with charcoal black cooler would look the best.

Naaaa Black PCB with Gold cooler :rockout:

jbunch07 · Apr 5, 2008

i wanna see a clear pcb

but imo black looks the best

ShadowFold · Apr 5, 2008

it might be...as far as i know its just plastics and and such, why not just make it clear...
although with the amount of circuitry it wouldn't look very clear just kinda floating there on your motherboard...that would be so f'in sweet looking

edit:
or why not use glass or clear acrylics ... just throwing ideas out there

The color of a circuit board comes from the outer layer which is called a “solder mask.” Without solder mask, PBCs are a dirty-yellow color. So, unfortunately, I do not think clear PCBs are possible.

Just read Post 54 and you'll know that it can't work... If you read threw it then you'd know also..

jbunch07 · Apr 5, 2008

dang...i just got shutdown!
you gotta admit though it would look nice

JrRacinFan · Apr 5, 2008

Yup, I already mentioned that quite a while ago. I would like 2 tone PCB colors with a clear transparent plastic cooler, but I dont think it will happen.

ShadowFold · Apr 5, 2008

my favorite colors!
that would be nice to see a dark blue pcb with black or the other way around

EiAh · Apr 7, 2008

an extremely bright orange PCB would look nice. (I like bright flashy colors)

PCB with UV reflective paint

alleycat · Apr 7, 2008

blue uv reactive PCB =P

ShadowFold · Apr 7, 2008

Whats UV reactive? Isnt that where it changes color under different light?

it just means that it glows under uv light

Kursah · Apr 7, 2008

I still think it'd be cool to have the UV light on the card itself with UV reactive designs, capacitors and such...but there goes the price! LoL!
