Plastidipping will make your card hot, as it will isolate the heat, and the heatsink won't work.

You're coating the card with rubber paint. Don't do it.

Hi all, I want to paint my ASUS PCI-E wifi card and was wondering if anyone has any good reason that I should not, I was thinking plastidip or another non-conductive spray paint would do the job. But I want to see if anyone knows of any issues with painting something like a PCI-E Wifi Card. I'm also currently painting some heat spreaders from my Team Group DDR4 Memory and was wondering if I need some special heat pads or if just any kind of non-conductive double-sided adhesive will do the job.

 

I appreciate your input, Thanks!
