Painting Motherboard Heatsinks?

[Protonian]

I've been planning to build a pc with a yellow and black colour scheme, however no motherboards that are skylake or kabylake compatable that are yellow. So I've decided to paint the heatsinks on a motherboard. This one to be specific: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/KfRFf7/gigabyte-ga-h270-hd3-atx-lga1151-motherboard-ga-h270-hd3

 

But I have a few questions:

 

How much will this effect the temps of my mobo?

 

Which is better, high heat or non conductive paint?

 

Do all motherboards have screws to remove the heatsinks?

 

To the pros, any tips?

not screws, but plastic push pins

 

high heat paint would be better

Use engine enamel

Z170 OC Formula is yellow. A Z70 will most likely be coming out.

As mentioned those use push pins which easily release the heatsinks, you do not require any special paint for the heatsinks as they don't get anywhere hot enough to cause a problem. I personally recommend to use automotive stuff as they usually have better color selection and brighter more vibrant pigments in the paint itself.

 

If you want I have a guide that goes over the specifics for this here under Motherboard and RAM Painting:
