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 =(

thats with the fans on low and that is right after a benchmark :roll:

get this i painted the CPU HSF (HST1283) with a vary light coat and it lowered my temps :shadedshu i painted ALL of it but the base

DaMulta · Dec 30, 2008

I used AS5 on those mosfets you see not painted

that could be my voltage change....

Yea my temps are not bad either. I don't even have the Chipset water blocks being used with water.....but that's normal for this board.
Using a stock intel cooler....yep

At night I just fall in love in day it looks like something made out of play dough or some kind of fancy cake....can't see that in pics.

since i am an honest man and will not lie, as stated in previous post. i believe that that "statement" was sig worthy and i for one am to modest to do it.

i can just imagine seeing a thread in a week about how the paint did some crazy thing that was un expected. and id make one short , once again modest post "Score 1 for redwings"

of course i hope that doesnt happen cause that would just be awful

p_o_s_pc · Dec 30, 2008

not my CPU D I painted my Xigmatek HDT 1283 and my temps went down about 2c :wtf:

it wouldn't be awful for me it would be a reason to get a new board :roll:

hmm wonder if the paint would protect the board from the grease

redwings0921 · Dec 30, 2008

it would be a nice test. if it worked u could sell mobos. that are grease resistant. your slogan can be "No more of that pesky bacon grease will ever ruin your motherboard again"

when i am 100% tired of looking at this board i will do that

I had de-electric grease all over mine.....and figure nail polish...insulation...this board has went to hell and back.

What I would like to save is a water cooling leak

redwings0921 · Dec 30, 2008

hell you could start a whole pc line of grease resistant pieces. since it is my idea we'd have to be buisness partners. we'd have the perfect infomercial skit..
Me- baking some bacon over an open cpu
you - bump into me, makin me spill all the bacon grease over the motherboard and turning my face into the guy from batman
Me - "OMG MY COMPUTER" as i am just about dying from being attacked with bacon grease
you - "no worries i installed your computer with the new grease resistant line of components" smile, with the tooth sparkle... then end commercial

we
would
make
millions

p_o_s_pc · Dec 30, 2008

sounds like a good idea

redwings0921 · Dec 30, 2008

ill take that friend request as an acceptance to my plan.

heres the catch... ill need 500$ sent to my paypal account / non cc for startup fees. but trust me man. we'll make millions.

dude I just jumped to the last one, then checked page 3, then 2, but I figured in 1 he will not have anything done as it is the beginning of the thread. God, I blanked out there lol, thanks bro :toast:

Hey POS, it looks good bro, now you gotta go artistic with lip gloss and all that like Damulta and get creative!!!

DaMulta · Dec 30, 2008

in my paint thread still updating post 1 LOL

its a black out board that's for sure!!!!

black out, yeah maybe, but I know he has to go steal some lip gloss from his sister and get creative with the board

black does look cool though, but it has to have a few things that are UV reactive though, I think that would look cool.

I have been posting updates on how it is working in the first post by dates. :toast:

time for another update it has been folding all night. The only thing i noticed is the voltage went from 1.36v to 1.37v when it is set at 1.35v in the bios but i think it has always done that
here are my temps

Cold Storm · Dec 30, 2008

Glad to see that it's going good! I think after a night of doing that... Say it's very stable!

yes i would say it is stable. That is even with a overclock also i was running orthos and never got any errors

here is a pic of it in my Antec 300

Cold Storm · Dec 30, 2008

The board looks great! I'd say that it's stable. Plus no heat gain is a plus! Might do the Pink and UV Blue.. or something else..

What about black light paint? http://www.cheapnovelty.com/blacklight-paint.html

Could be cool to trim your heatsinks with it.
