Painted my card

[Sturm]

So I had this great idea to paint my graphics card on Sunday as the red did not match my blue build at all. **** da warranty meh stickers are now off btw


Yesterday i noticed idle temps 61c but figured its just an amd thing and today my pc was just randomly turning off and since I had turned off the restart on crash function (forgot i did that lol), I was a bit puzzled, so earlier I removed the card and booted up all fine and dandy so figured I must have done something wrong when I put my card back together so I took it apart again. cleaned the tim and reapplied and a full 20c lower at idle

Paint job on left hand side is a bit patchy ! Kudos for doing tho.

Its an MSI thing, too much paste applied on them.

That's a lot of work for something which sits upside down in your case and is never seen !

Very nice, well done.

Paint looks like it could have done with a 2nd coat to patch the holes but good job

looks crap if I'm being honest. You could have just put on decorators blue masking tape instead and that way you wouldn't have voided your warranty.

I have taken it apart again to do it better rather than the rush half baked effort.
