Plastidip / Plastikote a GPU back...

[silver_tounge]

hey guys

I am wanting to know if it is save to plastikote or plastidip the back of my gpu and my wireless card as they do not really fit the colur scheme.

i cant see it being an issue but im just wanting to know if other people have done this and how did it turn out?

thanks in advance

Do you mean backplate? If so, you can plastidip the side that isn't facing the GPU.

im meaning the back of the GPU, as in the bit that you can see wen you are looking into a standard system... I dont have a backplate and my card doesnt have one that is made for it. so painting the back of the card is my only option.

If you use nonconductive paint such as plasti dip painting a bare pcb should work but is still risky, there are guides to make custom backplates for gpus and sound cards.

Theoritically you can but only with plasti-dip but I personally do not recommend it. It has been done before by others if you want to take a look, check under GPU Painting, but ideally it's best to just make a backplate for the card itself.

i have a gigabyte 960 2GB edition with the 2 blower fan cooler. i would be very very interested in getting a custom backplate, that would be awesome!

For the GTX960 ekwb do sell a water block cooler for that card but not a VGA fullcover, a custom backplate would rally set that off well!

 

@AddonCustoms are your custom backplates metal or are you 3D printing them?
