  1. I tolerate the Montana GOLD nozzle spitting cause their color selection is the best and Montana paint is very durable when it cures. Here's the case with wasteland Patina over the Montana GOLD Magic Blue and Easter Yellow colors. Next video I'll share some of the Weathered Paint tips. Note the PC's case front bezel round mesh grill does mount flush,  I didnt push it in all the way.

  2. Ordered Montana Gold paint that I'll test first to determine if it's good match the familiar fallout game Blue & Yellow colors utilized for vault-tec boy. Hopefully these paint choices will be used for my fallout Gaming PC mod paint finish. I may test them on custom fallout theme fan or radiator grill first.

    Here is the color palette I found for the fallout game,  https://www.schemecolor.com/fallout-vault-boy-colors.php

  3. I experienced the very common Pump failure with the Corsair Elite LCD AIO. I tried everything according to Corsair Troubleshooting FAQ

     

    *Shut down PC and shut down PSU manual switch, as per Youtube Influencer channel suggestions.

    *Removed / Re-Installed Corsair Elite LCD CPU block.

    *Removed / Re-Installed Corsair Elite LCD Screen.

    *Unplugged, re-plugged all connections, check fitment of all AIO USB and Commander Pro cables.

    *Install iCue Firmware v4.27.168 update. 

    This Corsair AIO Elite LCD unit with the "pump failure" error was purchased from BestBuy on 8/11/22.

     

    I gave up and ordered new unit from Amazon Prime. I swapped the Commander Pro Unit from the Amazon Prime unit to the BestBuy unit and the Corsair Elite LCD "pump failure" was fixed. Everything works perfectly now.

  5. Appreciate that @Rivettz, btw, please tell me about your project you're working on, case model etc

     

    Since 2010, Mnpctech ventured into doing custom PC builds & PC mods as giveaway to promote new PC hardware or PC game expansions and new releases. I just finished this Corsair 500T iCue RGB case mod for Corsair's new HQ. I don't think NILS would like how "out there" my builds have been since the Phenom build, Is he still running MDPC and doing sleeving orders?

  7. You can do whatever you like!!  

    I do see three familiar names out of the 21 people who have registered so far. The intent behind this Challenge from my involvement is to reconnect Intel with the PC Mod Community. Intel is supposed to boost more awareness next week.  
     
    Some popular questions on other platforms / sites.  
     
    Q. Does the design have to be done in AutoCAD or similar 3D software? 
    A. Simple hand drawing or sketch is fine. 
     
    Q. "What if I never modified a PC, can I still enter?"
    A.  It's ok if you are a beginner or if this is your first mod. Mention this when submitting your design, so the judges take that into consideration.
  8. Admin, please move to appropriate sub forum if necessary.
