depends if he dipped plastic covers (see sabertooth boards with thermal shields... I want to dip mine :p ) or just sprayed everything xD hopefully not the shiny socket ;)

No the bare board :p

Will be fine, nearly done now anyway. They say to leave four hours per coat but it seems completely dry within about 20 minutes :confused:
 
The shiny socket is the liquid metal pro reservoir yes?

exactly!!!! :D


and I'd be a bit careful about the entire board.... there will still be one or two resistors/capacitors that get silly hot! (think power management for PCI-E and such) a few years ago at lan I paid a few quid for a few thermal pics and there were one or two hot spots of components that were getting about 70oC+


4 hours between coats?! o.O well from watching quite a few plasti-dip vids on cars they seem to leave the coats 10-30 mins between applying. Imagine having a "dry"... but still fresh surface gives better adhesion between the layers? so long as it's not wet enough to just pool up/run *shrugs* could be talking out my arse but makes sense to me :p

Those are the bits I masked off.

Will probably be on tonight actually, this stuff seems to dry quick enough.
 
TB is back! It will work, but it wont be fully cured, the heat from your NB and other components may result in the paint finish from deteriorating.
 
North bridge isn't covered, wont play anything for a bit so hopefully wont heat up.

I'll put up pics in the log soon, feel free to post there (it could do with some bumps, not getting much attention :().
 
Ive thought about doing this with my maximus VI formula board.



Looks fantastic.

Should be on MLG from about 7.30/8.00 this evening. Though lately ive been having a few crashes in bf4.
 
Pic of the setup.



Top card gets to 79c in bf4 with a pretty aggressive fan profile, air just gets trapped between the cards.

If i run adaptive vsync, temps are much lower but input lag is a bit annoying.
