Colour PCB Mod

[ImMrChris]

I was bored and that is always dangerous

I decided to change the colour of My 460 GTX PCB so after a test on an old GFX card i set about going from blue to black....

i found a dvd permanent marker....

tested it with a Multimeter to make sure it didnt conduct electricity

then had a colouring session...

Took my time and tested the card along the way it's all working fine so far just need another pen as the one i found ran out fast

Boredom is dangerous KEEP OCCUPIED

actually looks pretty decent tbh.

cant wait till it heats up and the solvent out gasses and you get high from your exhaust.

tested that first did a little bit then ran Benchmarks for 1/2 hour no smell

Well I would guess thats 1 way to while away the hours, and probably void your warranty

Warranty whats that then part of me was hoping it didnt work so a nice shiny 560Ti would have been bought

Why didn't you play games using the expensive graphics card you own?

lol good point i like a bit of danger haha on the edge me

 

[ImMrChris]

no solvents in this pen you can tell as it doesnt "stink"

been playing games all night GPU hit 68C and the PCB was hot hot hot no smell and still rocking

ive seen some forums where people have actually spray painted PCB's madness indeed i wont go that far

it's ok problem is some of the resistors are so close you cant get the pen between them and you have blue bits here and there looks a bit crap

Next mod a custom back plate lol watch this space
