Is it safe: I have some questions about this moding i wish to perform

[vESP]

Note: Not sure if correct location.

Note: my grammar is not the best i am sorry.

 

Hey so i have a loud as all hell system but i love the case and fans for its performance : cougar panzer max with 12 x 120mm Maglev Premium fans.

So here are my questions hopefully u can help me

 

1. i want to know if its safe to run some of the cabling either heat shrinked or heat shrink and sleeving behind my motherboard and having sound dampening material behind with it. 

2. can i run sound material over unused case PCIE inserts  [ the holed place holders u have before u put in a GPU ]

3. painting my gtx 1080 back plate using peel coat / plasti dip as a temp mod or would i be best using a High temp spray paint used for BBQ and hotplates etc.

4. Attaching my SSD drives to my PSU basement cover made of plastic / acrylic.

 

Second case Mod

 

1. is there a way i can tint clear plastic side windows or am i best to remove it and attach pre tinted plastic ?

2. is it safe to use acrylic as a MB tray as i wish to segmentize my core x9 with a single sheet and attach my board to it. Advice on this would be epic.

 

M.2 SSD mod

 

i have a board capable of having up to 3 m.2 / nvme chips and tbh im cheap and like to use gear until its dead can i use copper / aluminium heatsinks of ebay / alibarba / amazon with some thermal pads to help cool these, as they do not have that fancy samsung heat spreader these are exposed chips  [ EVO m.2 SSD ]

It seems ok, as long as you don't short anything it should be fine. Also, nowadays PSUs and Mobos have tons of fuses to prevent damage, so if your system doesn't boot you know you did something wrong.

You are better off getting quieter components than to try and sound dampen it as it's strength is in prevent sound bouncing around the case and reverberation. You don't need to sound dampen behind the motherboard you need to only dampen exterior surfaces to limit it.  

 

For the backplate you can use regular spray paint it doesn't require high temp paint, plasti-dip is also a good option, you can take it off paint and reinstall the plate.

With the SSD's you can simply use double sided mounting tape or 3M dual lock (Velcro on steroids), and going on acrylic it's safe to use as a motherboard tray. 

You can get window tint and apply it to the clear window material just like any window.
