Painting a 2060 Super FE or getting aftermarket cooler?

I'd say either look to get a different one, or paint it. Just like Funko Pops in my opinion add a lot of personality and it shows your custom way of thinking. I'd say paint it, and if it messes up, you live you learn.

Hey all!

In an upcoming build, I plan on using an RTX 2060 super founders edition. The problem is, the silver/gray of the FE cooler clashes with the matte black of the rest of the build, so I am either going to paint the card black/dark grey or end up switching out the cooling system entirely. Here is the thing about each of these solutions:

  1. Painting the card might not end up good, well, because I'm no expert at it and I will 100% mess it up somehow.
  2. Getting a random aftermarket cooler. Chances are I'd have to paint that too, just not as much, to fit in with the color scheme. Also, most of these which I have seen are fairly ugly (IMO)
  3. Getting a cooler from a different model 2060s. MIght run into compatibility issues, also the fact that I'm not sure how many 2060s coolers are just floating around.

Thoughts?
