Since i was a kid i wanted water cooled PC, so many years later i finally did it. The result is beautiful, and i ended up paying so much money for modding that for the money i spent, i could have bought the most expensive cpu and some mid mobo & ram. The thing is that this setup is powerful enough for everything that i do, both for gaming and programming. I didn't see reason to upgrade, but i just decided to update my PC visually. To be honest modding to me is some kind of addiction, because im never satisfied with the final result, i always want more and more. Anyway, here's what i've got. CPU - i5-4460 3.20/3.40 GHz RAM - 12 GB 1333 MHz GPU - GeForce GTX 1650 VENTUS XS 4G OC (those temps are based on the pump running at lowest speed, full speed is just 2 degrees below) Temperature idle - 20-24 Temperature overload - 34 Temperature continuous overload - 38 PICTURES
Thank youu ) Well if you use regular paint yes. Not only because there is a chance to short the motherboard due to conductivity, but even if you use non-conductive paint it can trap the heat inside the components - killing them over time. In this case i used plasti dip. Plasti dip doesn't trap heat in the components, and its also non conductive. That's not even a paint, its more like liquid rubber or something, you can peel it off if you wish. I followed this guide for the job. This guy used this painted motherboard for 7 years already and it's still working. This is maybe the best guide you can find about painting mobo. NOTE: Thin layer is very hard to peel off, thick layer is easy to peel off. Also you must wait at least 24 hours for it to fully dry, otherwise it's still wet and in that case im not sure if it will short the motherboard. I decided not to take risks and waited 24 hours, and no problems so far.
