Water cooling (customisation)

ussie · 3 Feb 2013 at 17:49

Would it be safe to spray paint the NZXT Kraken x60's black tubing? I want to colour it based on my systems theme once I manage to get a hold of the x60.

I won't be using custom water cooling loops for a while so I will be sticking to AIO's

I take looks into consideration and a plain black tubing would be rather boring which is why I want to know if it is possible to spray paint it?

I see that OC has " http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CM-100-SB " available. Would this be a good option to use?

Opinions, responses would be greatly appreciated!

Even if you can get the paint to stick it'll crack and flake the moment the tubes get moved.

Why don't you get a sleeving for it?

I was going to suggest sleeving, but with a closed loop system...

Ah

looks like I can't really do much about it unless I do a custom loop. Just not comfortable with doing that yet since I've only made two computers, I'm a newb. Thanks though guys and silly me, didn't even think about the paint cracking =]

That actually might be a good option, I might look into it

http://www.mdpsupplies.co.uk/vehiclewrapping.asp do some good stuff so ill browse around.

If I cant find anything suitable i'll just stick to the kraken x60 as it is(when the stock comes *sigh

* ) then hopefully in the future have the time and confidence to make my own water cooled loop

Would be so good if someone in derby or local could come and do it for me haha xD
