Crystal white

[FromWhitin]

Hey Guys, i got this build for about 4 months now and never cared to upload it.

 

But now i start doing some mods and still have some stuff on my mind and i like to know what you guys would think of it,

What i did already?

- Replaced the plexiglass sidepanel windows for temperated glass with non-reflective coating(reflects 2%)

- In the pictures below i changed the geforce gtx logo white, replaced the cooling paste and painted the edge of the pcb black.

- Take one of my led strips out and put it under my case(underglow effect)

 

Planned mods?

-paint the silver parts on the graphics card white with plastidip.

-paint he motherboard black or white, not decided yet.

-make a cover out of plexi(white color) for the radiator and fans to hide them.

-make a cover out of plexi for(white color) put over the back of the case and hide the IO and stuff.

-buy or make custom individual sleeved cables.

-maybe new ideas?

Notice how the Geforce GTX logo is green and the edge of the pcb is.. yellow...ish.

 

 

Also the cooler was dirty with dust ect so i took it appart.

 

Look at that bueaty.. all teasing ad stuff..Naughty!

 

Yes Yes i know what you guys are thinking, didn't sepperate the screws or put them in a cup or something!, but everything went alright without hassle!

 

The windows cleaned!

 

The GeForce logo sandpaperd!( it's finer and more equel now)

 

And here she is all put together in her clothes.

 

Here she was in my system before i modded and cleaned it, Oh! and i also replaced the cooling paste!, but didn't make a picture of it.

 

 

Like you can see my colors are all white/block and blue, that is why i changed toe Geforce logo white, What it looks like?, well see for yourself!

 

Here you also can see that i made the PCB Edge black, looks much cleaner i think!

What did you use to paint the PCB edge? Was thinking of doing the same to my 970s BTW, nice build, good choice in colors, reminds me of my build

Nice The 980s are kinda out of my price range, thats why I went 970 SLI, it is roughly the same price as a single 980 and performs 70-80% better for what I have heard

I had a gtx970 before, asus strix one, but i needed something with usuable 4gb vram and more power for my uhd screen.

Understandable But seeing I have only a 1080p monitor, or should I say 39" TV, the 970s are more than enough for me and later I will be getting a 1440p monitor, I dont need more I dont Play that many demanding games, so the VRAM "feature" is not a problem for me... Diablo III and The Crew for example at 4K DSR - flawless

cool,

for 1080p and 1440p they are perfect indeed, the crew at 4k it mostly flawless with 1 gpu and high settings, mostly 60 fps, dips to 50 sometimes.

@FromWhitin your black and white concept is nice.... something different from the regular black/red and black/blue scheme

Thanks!

 

Yes, that's why i don't want to much black haha.

Man the reference card looks *AMAZING* 

 

That window, heatsink and logo are very nice.

Update!

I painted the silver parts on the cooler white, made the board Matt black(except for the heatsinks) and painted the hold-down plate for the CPU white. Pictures will follow later
