Green Motherboards

[TimGOAT]

Hi I'm looking into building a new  rig and i wanted to give a green style to it.

Are there any decent green motherboards besides the gigabyte sniper series?

[TheRoss0411]

The sniper is the only one i can think of 

[nsyedhasan]

No, not really unless you paint the heatsinks of a motherboard.

Gigabyte really are the only manufacturer that I know of that makes green motherboards...

[Imabigmac]

black motherboard and a green lighting.

That's unfortunate Since The Sniper 5 is just so Damn exspensive And the M5 is just to small for my liking.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who wants more green products! I'm so tired of the normal black, red and blue.

The OC series of gigabyte are nice, but they're not really made for gaming therefor their onboard audio is rather weak compared  to the sniper series.

@Arcai check these out lol

Try getting an MSI empower z87 and painting the heatsinks green. I know it sounds kinda risky, but you can take out the heatsinks and paint them REALLY easily. I did it, and it looks great. Here, check out my build log http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/75050-project-tuxedo-900d/?hl=tuxedo

Thanks but didn't mean as in a green PCB more as in a  green heatsink and such like the sniper series.

Lol damn autocorrect. I didn't realize I called it the empower. It's actually called Mpower from MSI. it's a great all around board. The bios doesn't seem to look as good as Asus, but it seems better than gigabyte, asrock, etc. The looks of the board are AMAZING. The PCB is all black. Even the transistors on the board are black. As for painting, I'd recommend plastidip. It's a paint that becomes rubberish when dry, and you can literally peel the paint off. Look it up on YouTube to get a better understanding of what I mean. And if you ever have to RMA/sell it, just peel off the paint.

In another topic we discovered that de-anodizing and re-anodizing in another color is the way to go. There should be local metal finishing and even gun shops that should be able to do this once the heatsinks are removed. Paint will act as an insulator.

And today i saw the review of the affordable G1 Sniper Z87
