Titan X Hybrid Painting

[gregderome]

I bought a EVGA Titan X SC, after a few weeks of usage, and being limited by the temps of the card i decided to buy the EVGA Hybrid kit, to watercool my card without

 

going into a full custom loop. 

 

However EVGA has been for MONTHS out of stock of the Titan X Hybrid Cooler (as well as all the other hybrid kit for 980/980ti). I however manage to be at the right spot at

 

the right time on Evga website and saw the 980ti Hybrid kit available, being compatible with the Titan X i jumped on the occasion i bought it right away. 

 

I received it a few days later, and the temps were amazing! I really recommend this kit for whoever wants to watercool a card without going full loop ! I'm sitting at 45

 

degrees under full load on my card ! 

 

There was only one problem, i didn't the appearance of the 980ti shroud, the color isn't that nice and obviously it is written 980ti on it... 

 

 

So i decided to paint the shroud to make it look like a real Titan X. I went for a Matte Black Plasti Dip paint and after 5 coats of it this is the results ... 

 

 

I am really pleased with the final look of the card, finally back to the black Titan X, gone is the 980ti name and the backplate makes it even nicer ! 

 

Using the same paint i also modded my Corsair Vengeance Pro ram stick, i painted only the top metal piece that used to be red.

 

 

This was my first ever mod to one of my components and i would say it was definitely worth it and looking forward to paint other stuff (Looking at you XPower AC motherboard, your yellow look is out of my theme...)

Did the temperature at load changed after painting it?

I have no idea, i guess because its high res..

No it didnt as the shroud doesnt do anything for cooling, its basically an AIO liquid cooler slapped on a Titan X, the shroud is just there to hide it. It's a basic plastic piece. This was the piece i painted before fitting it back on the card.
