how are the temps POS??? thats only a slight bump in vcore right?

temps are same as the last SS now that i have lapped the HSF. and stock voltage is 1.32v i have it set a 1.35v but it overvolts to 1.37v

So did you paint your HS too? Did it drop your temps much? I wonder if coating the heatsink with a specific material type of paint if it would distribute the heat better.

yea i painted the HSF too. it lowered temps about 2c :wtf:

Good Luck selling.

it was folding 24/7 after it was done and never any problems. but the only problem i have had is the paint chipped on the HSF bracket but that really isn't a big deal

Cold Storm · Jan 15, 2009

Yeah, that would probably happen no matter what.

Chicken Patty · Jan 15, 2009

dude it looks very very good, like what you did with the I/O Panel. Good luck with the sale! :toast:

Question what was that orange thing on the mobo? Reminded me of something my dad used to use to "identify" things (he was blind..).

pics of video card ram and 2nd mobo

I think it looks sick.(sorry for bad pics taken with cell) i will be painting my other stick of ram and the back of the video card white(maybe) and the 7900GS(all of it) white

Looks cool, but I don't think I would do that..

That paint very well "can" conduct minimal amounts of electricity, and more so acts as an insulation for the physical board which also naturally dissipates heat.

While I doubt it will have any issues.

+1 for a pretty sweet mod, never thought of that one.

Ya I read that. Like I said, doubt it would conduct enough to cause issues, just one of those overly careful types.

yeah i understand that. I WAS like that before but not anymore with most things (am when it comes to the GF don't want prego :laugh:

) it hasn't caused any problems yet so i think its pretty safe.

p_o_s_pc · Aug 7, 2010

wow old thread but if anyone had the idea of wanting to paint there board i say do it. after almost 2 years on running overclocked and 24/7 crunching i would say that it hasn't harmed it in any way at all.I feel comfortable telling you do not think twice about it and just do it.

**I take no responsibility if you damage your board in any way. do it at your own risk**
