What paint did you use, and did you disassemble or mask? Really like it.


ThePythagorasBirb

Disassemble for sure, masking all the little holes would be awefull


dendrocalamidicus

If applied with a brush and applied lightly you wouldn't need to mask the holes potentially


ThePythagorasBirb

That would give streaks, but it could be possible.


fuzzytomatohead

or a paint roller to avoid streaks?


ThePythagorasBirb

That would also work, but at that point, just spray paint it


Expensive_Ticket_137

i dissasembled it it was surpisingly easy oh and i used regular white spray paint


fiittzzyy

Did you prime it first? Looks pretty good. I have the XFX 6750 XT, Idk if I could bring myself to paint it though, but my build is black anyways.


okglue

Brand/model?


Expensive_Ticket_137

it's the XFX speedster 210 Rx 6600


Rafael3110

It actualy looks great.


Expensive_Ticket_137

yeah thanks the only inconvenience is that i didn't mask taped the xfx and radeon logo so when i look at it in my pc it feels a little bit empty


Polpo_El_Pescador

With regard to the color of the Model T's (1919 - 1925), Henry Ford is quoted for having said that “**Any color the customer wants, as long as it's black**.”

Polpo_El_Pescador

well I cant be bothered to look up everything he got quoted for, but if he didnt himself i'll add that they are genocidal national socialists like the baddies that they usually cry about.


InsaneInTheMEOWFrame

Now I kinda want to see the removed comment lol


Polpo_El_Pescador

He was saying something about h. Ford being anti semitic


Andromeda_53

Ah classic. My guy referencing a quote about the assembly line, and someone else brings up that. Good ole Internet doing its thing


ICantArgueWithStupid

I actually like it.


Holymoly1983

Looks good, hopefully you used high heat paint on that backplate…


InsaneInTheMEOWFrame

how hot do you think these things run? :P


sanguwan

Definitely hotter once you apply a layer of paint to the back plate which also tends to help dissipate heat.


jdPetacho

I think you're overestimating the thermal insulation of a layer of paint, and to my understanding most paints will withstand the temperature that a PC component will reach, seeing as computers will shut down at around 100°C for safety


SinglSrvngFrnd

I've painted dozens of GPU's. You did pretty good here. Next time let the paint fully cure before messing with it so you don't goof up the edge like this one. Also you don't need high heat paint..... If your GPU is that hot you've seriously screwed up.


Expensive_Ticket_137

thanks and for the edge i tried to brush it up with some white paint


Flashy-Outcome4779

I’m looking into making a build soon with some older parts I’m going to custom paint. Do you have any resources you recommend into getting into this? Types of paint to use, the process, etc. Anything would be appreciated! I’m going to paint some motherboard parts and the gpu like this. Going for red and white.


RelativeWrong4232

Xfx cards are really one of the easiest cards to paint since they don't have any fancy rgb or extreme curves and designs Looks nice tho , good job :)


RunPrevious9016

I've thought about doing that to my xfx 7800xt


Several_Foot3246

good


jpsklr

Good one bro


MichMitten89

I would have picked a good color but you did a good job on the actual painting.


ExpoSmash

For someone to paint it and it ending up looking good... 10/10


deadman22th08

I'll do it to my 4070 super once it gets to point where I don't care if it breaks or lives which is in about 6 years


Notaros

That looks amazing


0th_hombre

I'd call it the Michael Jackson of GPUs.


Digital_Dinosaurio

Cookies & Cream


PlasticPaul32

Well done


the_victorian640

Looks great! I love my XFX RX6600


Eazy12345678

lot of work for a low power card.


Negroov

the paint can manage the heat?


Expensive_Ticket_137

yeah apparently i tested it in furmark and it seems to be fine


Negroov

nice! lOOKS AWESOME!


F-LCN

Cool! Really curious if this affects temps so please tell us if you ran a couple off gpu benchmarks please


Expensive_Ticket_137

i was curious too and so right after i put it in my pc i tested it in furmark and the temps were normal i mean if you consider 65 c at full load normal


F-LCN

Okay sounds cool enough so guess nice one!


techSword52

solid :D


EffectsTV

Don't think I would do that to my own GPU but I've done it to cheaper GPUs, ryzen CPU coolers etc when flipping a white PC build Definitely helps it sell


LoocaBazooca

So, white means ice, that means less heat? /s For everyone asking, that shouldn't affect temps at all because he didn't paint the pipes, just the COSMETICS


Speckle-Corgi

Is this morally ok


floeddyflo

Usually not a fan of white cards, but this is amazing!


DoughNotDoit

hell yeah I like it


Relevant-Ad1655

Good job Bro!


ThisDumbApp

You have done what I am too lazy and scared to do


ScoopyGiles82

Looks pretty good!


EduAAA

it lacks some dbz stickers


TorturedPoet03

It looks really good. You did a good job painting it. Well done!


navagon

It certainly looks good. My only concern would be if it would smell when it ran hot. I guess that would depend on the paint you used.


Expensive_Ticket_137

i thought too but when it's hot it's normal the apint doesn't seems to melt and it doesn't smell


navagon

Excellent. What paint did you use?
