what about the other chips?

DaMulta · Dec 27, 2008

More pics page before(I hate posting pics on last post of a page LOL.

I covered only the ones that needed heat sinks.

Think any others should be? I don't think so myself.

p_o_s_pc · Dec 27, 2008

I don't see anymore that need heatsinks BUT i'm not sure how the other chips will like the paint. also what about the resisters? Won't it change the resistance?

LOL.. i tested it on a AM2 motherboard... just a $45 cheapy but i will put it into a nice case and see what happens if it turns out ok.. i will keep it or sell it then paint my AM2+ board
Im going to use a sharpie on the other spots so i can get as much black as possible without filling the slots with paint

Looks like it's all taped up good, I wonder if some high-temp engine paint would stand up better, but you''ll find out soon after you run it.

steelkane · Dec 27, 2008

Nice,, Now that's a black mobo,

ShadowFold · Dec 27, 2008

do it already D

DaMulta · Dec 27, 2008

I need the do it gif posted I'm scared LOL

Cold Storm · Dec 27, 2008

Only thing I do say about that is.. It's a jetway.. lol.. You've sealed it up quite well. It should work since you don't have any conductive paint being used.

Like Shadowfold said.. Lets get it going!!

If you had, some cards & memory you could put in the slots, then paint

I thought about doing that after the white. Turn the white ones red

But them I have changed how I am going to paint the blocks.

Purple blocks, red tubes

DaMulta · Dec 27, 2008

I wish this could be my avatar

Alright I'm doing it!!!

beesagtig · Dec 27, 2008

Yewww, get it done

steelkane · Dec 27, 2008

are you done yet,,

DaMulta · Dec 27, 2008

Fist coat

All tho it does look kooL like this

No one can call me a chicken shit for sure now LOL
I just started painting on a 790i Asus Ulta motherboard with no backup!!!

beesagtig · Dec 27, 2008

Nice

fingers crossed it works ay

ascstinger · Dec 27, 2008

reminds me of those sapphire red/white boards

will the paint also serve as the protection from condensation?

DaMulta · Dec 27, 2008

Just got done with the 2ed coat going to wait a bit more for the 3ed/

That's the reason for this mod. I hate that there are no white PCB motherboards.

DaMulta · Dec 27, 2008

You just made a very very good point with that condensation. I bet if a water leak happened this could protect you from that. Also phase, ln2 and so forth.

Solaris17 · Dec 27, 2008

/subscribed

this will look so badass.

steelkane · Dec 27, 2008

That looks SO SWEET,, I have thought about painting a board, well because I want to paint everything, I just never pulled the trigger on it, Great post thanks.

ShadowFold · Dec 27, 2008

That looks amazing D! Can't wait for the final pics :rockout:
