295x2 Repaint

[The Blackhat]

I recently decided to repaint my two R9 295x2s, but after some searching I could only find one other person who had done it, and they had made a post on here in 2015(found here).

The original plan was to go straight ‘black,’ really it was iron, for most of it, and have some red grills. Well, that turned into painting the front plates, the insides of the letters (it triggered me that the other person who painted one of these cards left the letters stock) and eventualy the backplate once I have a design for them. Note that this is my first time painting really anything at all, so they look rough around the edges of course. I get that red and black is overused, but the scheme works great with my next motherboard and my also recently painted/modded case. This took about 4/5 days and about 16 hours of actually doing something, which includes the time for case painting, and they turned out better than I’d expected, but I still think stock was cleaner and more pleasing to the eye.

Here are some images I took before painting them. Sorry, I didn’t have time to set up good photos of the painted cards, I will once the system is back together again.

Yeah...it used to sit in a 5’x7’ office, as you can imagine, the room cooked quick, now they are in a virtually completely open space with about 1000 sq. feet, will make a great heater in the winter

How hot do those get in tandem?

Man, that rig you've got there is pretty damn unique.

Loving that you're rocking not just one, but two 295X2s there.

Thanks, it’s actually less unique than it used to be, 2400G and 32 gb ram b350 pc mate and these cards, which couldn’t run crossfire because limited pcie lanes.

Still hella unique. This is the first rig in fucking ages that I've seen with a dual GPU card, much less this one.

They are my pride and joy, and I don’t plan on moving away from dual gpu, even if I have to buy a Fiji/Polaris Pro Duo or a Pro V340

Weeeellll...currently nothing, running a phenom means I’m limited to pretty much a word processor. Yes, I need 4 gpus for a word processor.

I wish! A novel would at least be worth something.

I got them in the system, really happy with how it turned out!
