Hi all

I have an EVGA 1080Ti black edition, that has a light up logo on the side, which lights up white.
Before I butcher it, has anyone tried to take apart the logo light bar and inserted a coloured film up change the colour of the light output?

Cheers
Jason

I would imagine any modification to the cooler will void your warranty. Unless its easily reversible.

You could just put the film over the top, you wouldn't risk anything that way.

Removing the cooler doesnt void warranty on EVGA so combine both the above and use a film on the inside, if it ever needs warranty then you must remove it before sending back in.

The above is on the assumption you aren't killing it by force or error when taking it apart.

As suggested, tape it or leave it alone.

At worst you can destroy the card, at best not only do you tear up the warranty, you affect the resale value.

Personally I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole second hand.
 
First I would install Evga Precision Xoc and see if the led is listed in the led settings tab and turn it off. Otherwise you are better off asking over at the Evga forums, it might just be a simple case of popping off a connector around the edge of the heatsink. Evga will honour the warranty as long as you don't damage anything and the serial sticker isn't damaged. If you need to remove the heatsink then you will need a repaste obviously.
 
You can just put a piece of adhesive coloured film on top of the lights and it does the same thing. Done that with my titan x hybrid cooler.

Color in the pic is a little washed out but in person its very green.

Aren't the LEDs RGB?
I've got the FTW3 1080Ti which is RGB and can be customised to whatever colour and pattern in EVGA's Precision software.
I've fitted my 1080Ti with EVGA's Hybrid kit, which is still RGB led, and dead easy to change its colour or even turn it off in Precision Xoc. Better than messing around with coloured tape ;)
