Z97 Mpower Mod

[Epitome]

I was wondering if anyone knew if the heatsinks on the Z97 mpower are easily removable so that i would be able to paint them as i would like to be able to paint them white. Thanks in advance for help/advice.

Most VRM heatsinks are screwed in from the back so you should be able to easily remove them, but don't quote me on this since I watched any Z97 Mpower reviews yet.

My VRM heatsinks were just screwed in at the back. It should be really easy.

they are removable, but they arent like on the Z87, where the yellow parts were separate from the black, this time its just a paintjob, so its harder to paint it, but still possible  

 

great board for 1150 btw

Thanks for the help everyone. Now that i know they are easily removable, would normal paint be alright or will i need something different

if you want it to be removable, plastidip is the way. other way you would need to sand the paint off and reapply primer, black, and then the colour you want (probably 2 coats) where you want

I think i'll just use plastidip then, sanding the paint and adding primer sounds like so much effort.

yeah it kinda is. thats why im still waiting for X99 sabranco the good thing about plastidip is that you can just peel it off if you need to RMA
