Thats actually the only thing I don't mind having green. I painted my 780ti red after sanding down the logo and i didn't like it to much. Same with going reference over non reference or water block. I love those cards just the way they are.

Cryorig r1 ultimate, with an extra cryorig Xt140 fan.  Probably buying an h220 today though to compare it with the R1 to see if the h220 is any better.  The r1 with 3 fans performs on par with an h100i, so the h220 will probably be a few degrees better.

 

 

 

and the fans, and the motherboard.. lol

Did you plasti dip the fans?

Yeah, it does. My case and motherboard are black, while my fans are white. Meanwhile, my RAM is red and I absolutely hate it. Really wish G.Skill made silver or at least white Ares modules.

The Corsair ones? Or the ones on the heatsink?  I painted the rings on the Corsair ones, but the Cryorig ones come like that.

Well, heaven knows I'm not very fussy about colour coordination, especially given how I dress, but I do like my computer's parts to work together colour-wise.

I wish it wasn't, but I've had this odd color scheme in my head for a while now of how I'd color a new PC if I ever got one, and now that I'm just about to get the last of the parts to actually build one I can't not do it. Though unfortunately for me it's not just a regular red or blue color scheme either so matching the Mobo/RAM was a color choice (though performance came first), having a GPU back plate I can paint is nice, and I'll eventually need to paint the RAM heat spreaders and sleeve cables to make it better fit my color scheme. I might even have to paint my PSU if I get too worked up about the color, but it being a nice textured black might deter that idea... maybe some colored duck tape or something, do a nice design with it too.

If a case has a window I think it should have at least some colour coordination, but if it's a just a case with no window I don't care.

If i'm on a budget, i'll go with whatever performs best for the money, but when i get over that line and have a pc i like, and money to spend, then i change parts into colour scheme i like :)

This is super important to me, as part of the whole PC hobby is about making something I am proud of, aesthetically too.

Yes :D

You could hide those red plugs on your PSU if you used the front column for your cables instead of the second one? ;)
