Paint Heatsink

[Wolfire]

Hi, im doing a orange color themed pc. But the things that block me, is the GPU, i will probably have a 960 from MSi but with what i paint it? it might be a nooby question but how. With what kind of paint and how to actually get a good result, same for the ram and power supply. Also anyone have a brand who makes orange DDR4 modules?

you can get orange Dominator Platinums but they're expensive as hell

Use Plasti Dip to paint your GPU shroud.

You can paint the GPU as long as it's not the heatsink, we don't usually recommend that since it can heavily affecting cooling performance, I have a guide that goes over that here, but in general regular good quality spray paint or plasti-dip will do a good job:

Why are you getting Skylake/Haswell-E with a GTX 960.  Plasti dip the cooler.  TAKE OFF THE COOLER BEFORE YOU START.  Gskill Ares has orange heatsinks.

My config will be a Gigabyte SOC force z170, I5 6600k, MSi GTX 960 Gaming 4 G, 2tb seagate HDD 7200 RPM, Noctua Nh d-15, Lian Li PC07S and there is the ram missing. Also, do i need to sand the shroud on the gpu? And is it also the same story if i want to paint the ram?

If your spray painting using some scotch brite to scuff the surface for the paint or light coat of primer to bite in is a good idea. The Corsair LPX kits or Kingston Fury DDR4 kits are both great options.
