Painting GPU

Hi Guys.

 

So over the weekend I am looking to paint my two cards from white to red.

 

Basically the bits that are red I want in white to fit with my black & white theme.

 

I am planning on using some plastidip, but I have read some stuff about its insulating properties.

 

What do you guys think, will I have problems with temp? I am running two of these and space is pretty tight already.

That should be pretty easy, Just undo the screws there on the top and the plate should come right off.

Hi. yeah that is not a problem.

 

My question was more about, will it have any adverse effect on my card temps. People have said that pastidip is an insulator so was curious.

The difference would be neglectable, Plastidip is pretty much liquid rubber, It should not be much more of a insulator than the plastic.

It is the air that transfers the heat out from your card anyways.

It would only add like 0.1mm to the card(About 0,005 inches) if you do it right.

if its the plastic cover that houses the fans no but if its the backplate then yes
