Hey guys! So, I've decided to update my current build to match my favorite color - yellow! And to accomplish this, I used my previous setup which you can view in my image gallery consisting of a red, white and black ASUS RoG theme. For this task, I decided to replace the motherboard, change out my water cooling tubing, change my power cables and spray paint my case, ram heatspreaders and cpu waterblock faceplate with Plastidip! Let me know what you guys think. :)

 

 

P.S I apologize why some of the images are upside down even after I rotated them. :/

If it can play minecraft, it can play anything.. haha.. nah, i'm digging Farcry 4 right now... I couldn't find a yellow radiator and I didn't want to reduce the cooling capacity by spray painting it..

Yeah, I just thought that the coolant also flowed through the exterior sides of the radiator?

What if you painted it yellow and added a second radiator to compensate for it? Tat would be ballz...

 

Although black still goes VERY well with yellow, more so than any other color (imo).

Toxic green would fit the theme better. Also you need at least one radiation symbol to complete it.

I have an applique which doesn't really show through the side window..

Hmmm... I already have 2 360mm radiators.. I don't think I could add another 360mm but maybe a 240mm.. hmm.. I was thinking of getting some yellow 3m vinyl and line the outside of the white radiator..

You should be totally fine to paint the sides/shroud of the Rad, Coolant doesnt flow through the sides even if it did the cooling really only happens in the channels connected to the fins

Any confirmation on this?
