790i Ultra Spray Paint Mod Log

sweet

have you tried stress testing it yet?

heat it up a bit and see if everything stays working?
 
About to start up prime.

I am oced too!!
 
do you think it is ok to test after 4hrs? or do you think i should force myself to go to bed so i don't try it?
 
IDK it was 15 mins on the can LOL
 
Had to lower my PLL voltage. Might of saved during the wrong loop when tweaking ram...IDK I hate this chip I need to throw in the quad.

Also made my ram timing a little better. up the voltage there just a tad

Still running prime no issues.
6mins
 
so your telling me to plug the power in and give it a test?

ok will do. I just want to make sure all the tape if off the mosfets i covered EVERY mosftet i could find so it may take awhile
 
I only did the ones that had heat sinks on them.

Noting feels hot.

I got rid of that pad they used to cool them with the blocks and used AS5!!!!

Plastic bag/AS5/mosftets light light touch and smear.


The only way LOL....

Kick-ass, glad to see she fired up,, keep us posted, I was wonder if the paint will crack over time.
 
I just tested mine and it works! I took a pic but the batts went dead. I will post pics when i get off my lazy ass and find what i did with the other ones

IT did around the screw holes. Have to touch up those at some point. I think if you had a rubber on the screws that problem would go away when putting the board on the tray. It didn't do it bad tho.

How far should I take it LOL.

I'm thinking all over the board and not on the chips with the silver. Red on chips, and another on caps.

LOL I'm on my phone ATM for that reason!!!!
 
mine didn't creak around the screw holes :wtf: maybe i just didn't put them as tight?
 
Do you use case screws?
 
good info about the cracking,, too bad you don't own a airbrush, for detail work
 
Well I used normal ones. I did wait over a day to install it. Maybe yours was not 100% dry when you installed it. I'm pulling mine to paint the tray in the morning.


Oh also if you have led lights on your board. At least with white they still light up just fine. I painted right over them.

i don't think that i have any LEDs on my board. If i do i sure don't see them now. I am sure i used normal screw but they are just painted black. they look like what came with my Antec 300 but the ones that came with it aren't painted... maybe it isn't 100% dry like you said... hmm i am going to pull the power right now and wait till i wake up tomorrow
 
Well he heat from the chips is going to dry it out fast no matter what LOL.

yea that is true but i don't want to chance shorting something out after making it this far :laugh:


also if you check my thread you will see that there is a pic of the rig running.
 
great idea with clean work , so this paint don't increase temperature of mosfets and rds's
 
They don't feel hot.

You seen the ones I covered up. Which were the ones they covered up.
 
I wonder if painting it makes the mobo die quicker or last longer and if so by how much...
