what's a nobo , you not worried about loosing the warrenty ?

LOL

I killed mine on day one!!! I painted nail polish right on the serial numbers. Then went to remove that sticker for that reason.....O well it's been doing fine.

So mine was out the window already. I would wonder what they would say if you did RMA it hehee.

. what about you everything fine with yours?

crtecha · Dec 29, 2008

that scares me... It looks awesome but I would be afraid that it would cause the mobo to fry some how

More than happy :toast:

Latex paint might be better cause you could pull it off at any time and swap colors. That's what I'm going to try next

Excellent work both of you. Now you guys are tempting me to do one, hmm may be pull out my old Abit Pale Orange mobo and paint with bright orange and black :roll:

The only problem I see is some of the chips that were painted won't have as long of a life being suffocated by paint. Most likely the boards will be broken by other means before the paint gets it.

*The black looks very good! Sleeve those cables!!!!

Very true erocker

thanks.

i'm not going to sleeve the cables i need a new PSU for it so i am just going to get one that already has sleeved cables and a video card... Thinking XFX now so it is still black

Are PCPower&Cooling 610's sleeved? The flat black finish on them would go very well with your system, and they are beasts! My friend is running two 8800's and a quad core in his SLi rig with one.

take a look here http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowI...ng S61EPS 610W Continuous @ 40°C Power Supply
I don't need that much power i was looking at a BFG PSU

but it isn't flat black :ohwell:

paint might help spread the heat

if they didnt need a cooler on top of them I don't see a little paint affecting that. People have been doing phase and tec for years. They cover up chips with all sorts of things no issues.

IMO same thing as this.

Yeah I forgot about a lot of the sealants that they use. I may give it a shot on a old board to see what I can get going.

Great work DaMulta :rockout:

just did a benchmark to prove everything is working as you can see everything seems to be working just fine

redwings0921 · Dec 30, 2008

alright im not gonna lie. painting a mobo sounds just about the stupidest thing u can do other then drop it off a boat, let it sit at the bottom of the ocean for a few days then go and retreive it. but hey, i guess i can be wrong. good luck and hopefully everything works out alright for ya

Cold Storm · Dec 30, 2008

Nice, can't wait to see how the temps are and what not after folding all night

:toast:

DaMulta · Dec 30, 2008

Can't wait to see you and RM pink motherboard!!!

LOL I did it to a 790i Ultra motherboard.....works just fine. In fact I think I had to lower my voltages on the cpu.....the one I had saved that I know worked(I made sure I had a stable o/s before I did this)didnt work very well and forced me to lower the voltage a little not much but still lower?

It's really 1,478

Not 1.52.....I hate that cpu-z even reads voltages it's always wrong....

Cold Storm · Dec 30, 2008

Damulta... We'll see what goes on with that! As for the color... He does think it's great... Me.. No...

The factor with that, is that the paint is taking some of the elective charge from the board. So, what once took more to do, is less. If that can make any sense..

p_o_s_pc · Dec 30, 2008

here are my temps right now. looks like they are about the same from before if i remember right haven't used this board much lately

it hasn't affected my voltage any. I had to set it at 1.35v before for 3ghz and i have to have it at 1.35v now.... CS could you please explain it to me having a blonde moment

Your still bad!!!

Pink is FTW

Temps look fine to me!

I know mine are ok.

redwings0921 · Dec 30, 2008

damn 33c. watch out. you could make some bacon over that thing. the greese dripped all over the components might not work out to well, but if its good quality meat its well worth it.

those temps look fine. lloks like i was wrong. -1 for me =(

Cold Storm · Dec 30, 2008

Well. If, and I do say if, I'm right on plastic.. it does have a ability to absorb heat to a extended effect. IF it's over 180f then it does melt, but the plastic paint has the same stuff that they make the Plastic mitts for cooks.. It doesn't have the same ability as the mitts, but the mitts are based on the plastic paint effect...
