MSI x370 Krait Gaming LED mod

[Sartaknight]

Hey guys, soo I bought this mobo (title) a year ago and with time my setup strated going for RED more than WHITE lights, the only problem is the LEDs on this mobo are White or Off (Sometimes I cant even turn them off). Anyway, I've heard that some people mod the leds with film or maybe paint to change the color! I think that desoldering the leds and putting red ones is a little bit too much tho. Well, Im looking for help with this mod. Can anyone link me a video o the best way to do this??

 

Thanks everyone!

For this board the LED's are directly soldered onto the PCB you can color over the LED's with red sharpie which would be the easiest option or to use a red film to tape over each individual LED.

By Red Sharpie you mean an Indeleble red marker right? I have some alcohol based ones around, will that work?

I mean theses ones, the common sharpie marker, do a test to see if it provides a deep enough red first cause you are only adding a very thin layer of pigment.
