24k GOLD gtx750ti evga ac2.0 cooler

[Andrew Storlie]

Of before i starting appling the gold i masked up the following parts...

[Andrew Storlie]

Once the extra gold is brushed away...

[Andrew Storlie]

The main cooler with the small back plate in gold

[Andrew Storlie]

The video card is done, letting the clear coat seal and dry for 48 hours before i mount it on the card.

Damn I've never seen this happen before

[Andrew Storlie]

Gold plate a 980ti HoF. Now.

A gold and white build wouls actually be kinda nice....

[Andrew Storlie]

I might gold my ram and then the blocks on my MB...

I could be wrong but I don't actually think good is a good heat transfer material. Usually there is a connect between electrical conductance and heater transfer where the better conductor the better for heat as well. Copper is about the best which is what old radiators were made of but the downside is weight. Silver I believe is the second best but expensive and the aluminum is somewhere is like too 5. Gold is good at a clean electrical conductance (low emi) cause it is kind of an insulator so I am not so sure how well that cooler is going to cool wrapping it in gold.

I assume it's a liquid cooler, right?

So it should just be moving the heat away to the rad, where it will actually be dissipating the heat into the air?

Woah. You wanna gold flake my 290?!

Should have little to no effect on the cooling, as its just the shroud thats covered.

Idk what you both are talking about... the gold isnt transfering heat or liquid cooling, its just looks?

Oh sorry I thought you were gold plating the heatsink. Never mind my mistake

For some reason I didn't get those pics before. Oops

Actually gold is better than copper for conductivity. Tge only reason gold isn't used is because of cost. So gold plating the heatsink might actually have a negligeable improvement on performance.

Well i only did the plastic cooler, not the heatsink.... not that a 750ti would need any extra thermal help lol

at first i thought this was really stupid... but im super jelly now...
