Nice job really like the white and black on the motherboard that would be an awesome thing for MSI to do at some point.

[everything count to life]

Looks absolutely fanatic ;)

Great Job Mate

Not a fan of the case but I love the colour scheme of the modded components .

I like the mods... a lil cable managment on the PSU would be great

Will work on that. The fan controller on the Phantom is molex only so I had to use a full molex cable. An SATA adapter is coming in soon

Window mod! Window mod! Window mod! Do one!

Did your temps increase at all by coloring over the yellow?

Hi tips on painting the Mpower? and yes how was your VRM temps?

I did not paint my MPower in fear that I may have to RMA it. I used Avery poster stickers and just outlined areas I needed to cover. Temperatures remained the same.

I will update the OP with pictures of cleaned build (Even though it's is almost a year old )

MSI is killing it with awesome boards.. I'm truly impressed by their expanded new line of enthusiast boards.

They're still in great shape! Granted, after disassembly and cleaning I didn't handle the stickers so well, so they've began to peel a bit. But since you buy like 10+ sticker sheets for under $10, you can easily re-cut and reapply. I have yet to do that because I'm lazy lol.

 

After awhile the accent novelty wears off, at least for me.

But cool!
And even this card from 2013 is better than mine.
