A better pic


I made sure no dust was on the board


I just tapped up what I didn't want pained with electrical paint.







Big pic



Fist coat








It does look kooL like this

2ed coat going to wait a bit more for the 3ed/





Tell me a white motherboard is not the ?


test look


Cammera phone damn bats died



Watercooling isn't hooked up as normal




I'm so happy right now

I have gliter paint!!! For caps and chips!

Also will update when camera is back up and running.

----

Update: So you don't have to look into the thread

Have not tested. More to do.


----

Well I'm not turning it on been cleaning today....on here on and off LOL

Camera is dead so sorry bad cell phone pic.

Also I'm going to paint the block while it's off the board. Tonight I plan on doing that, and turning it on 2mrow.



Just a what it would look like now.

Update WORKS

an hour of testing turned down volts on cpu upped a tad on mem and went to 8 tras.

I admire your balls, but IMHO it doesn't look at all good. By losing the contrast between the PCB colour and that of the components on the board, you lose something from the appearance.

[DaMulta]

Those are about to get colors, but I think it looks cool as hell as it is.

I'm going to paint my cards too. Thought about the blocks and was going to color them. Yet, I did look how they looked stock on this.

Had to lower my PLL voltage. Might of saved during the wrong loop when tweaking ram...IDK I hate this chip I need to throw in the quad.

Also made my ram timing a little better. up the voltage there just a tad

Still running prime no issues.
8mins

It was set to high....

---

I also have full coverage water blocks that I need to fix and install on the cards. The dang stands were to high and didn't touch the core....My luck all 3 of the blocks didn't. This is what DangerDen sent for me to do testing with. Also had one that leaked all over the board BAD(it did not boot for 2 weeks after cleaning it) only when the loop was turned off. SO when I tested it is was all good to go.
God I was pissed..(this is a retail board I paid for)....Didn't even send them an email.....

I would still shop there, and I just think I happened to get in on a bad batch of blocks.

Good job so far, at least it works By the way is that Windows Seven, hows that going for you?

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

I cant tell how I feel about the painted board, do try to get some well lit pics from a real camera, preferably daylight/sunlight lit pics so we can get a good look at it.

I'm glad it works good, I may paint my motherboard with this clear-neaon white spraypaint I've got. goes on clear, glow bright white under UV lighting....

[DaMulta]

I need to take pics with my good camera.went to get batteries tonight, and made it home with coke, cookies, this paint, and noooo which is why I went...the one with it installed is from my cell phone which sucks.....It looks really cool!!!!


I love 7. I was starting to like vista until I ran this. I don't think I will install it ever again. Me Vista is what the name should of been. Vista should be like this o/s.





How far should I take it

I'm thinking all over the board and not on the chips with the silver. Red on chips, and another on caps.

P O S just did one in black. Gigabyte GA-m61p-S3(painted black)

I have my log there too.(if anyone wanted to read these)

hey Damulta, we meet again dude, anyways, awesome log bro, i'll tell you again great job!!!

[STEvil]

I feel sorry for a lot of the chips, they're going to be insulated by the paint.

Careful with the glitter, some of it could be metal flakes.

[DaMulta]

Been feeling around they don't feel hot at all. True they are....Could this protect me from a water leak is what I want to know....

Yes I have thought about that also. I have sprayed a a peaice of paper with that pant and colored the glitter on there. To see what it would look like in UV. I guess I could go to there site and see what it is made of.

It will protect from water a bit, but if there are gaps or holes in the paint then you are vulnerable. Still better than nothing.

[DaMulta]

Cell phone makes this like crap I WILL TAKE OTHER PICS

It really looks good.....I need to go get AAs like now.

It's red Red Sharpy FTW

Should I do caps with Black Sharpy FTW?

Ohh missed a few

Great Job Damulta!!

[DaMulta]

Thanks.

Just working on the case, and painted the caps black as best as I could for now.

It looks amazing to me. It just not feel like a real computer part, and that's the best part for me.

[Knight]

Nice job with the masking and final look. I was going to say to use Dupli-Color, but the Krylon came out fine.

PS: You are a real geek when the protective film is still on the stock cooler for your video card.

hahaha, it does look amazing and its definetily a mod that not many people have done, at least I don't think so

[firebane]

this is bloody insane!

you are a pure genius hahaha.

[jarman]

surely paint etc on vregs, caps, resistors is gonna cause them to heat up significantly. Possibly lowering ur overclocks and reducing component life?

[Mescalamba]

I must admit, its eXtreme.. its crazy. But sorry, it doesnt look good, I guess it would be nice, if it will be only PCB in white.. and that would be really difficult.. (or maybe not.. covering everything possible and removing paint from rest.. ).

[railmeat]

%100 agree,krylon fusion is meant for plastic,metal,wood etc to LOCK IN and LOCK OUT light,heat,moisture etc...

looks wise thats pretty cool tho man.i will give u that.ati did it to one of there mobos--white\red(u get the idea from them?,lol).anywat stevil and jarman are right i think ,u locked in heat on caps,vregs,hell everything!lol?who knows how it will last in a few months..but looks pretty cool man,get a few blacklight uv bulbs in there man.would look cool, purple glow on your white pcb

[C3]

wow!very cool project. your board reminds me of an old sapphire amd64 board which looks very similar

[DaMulta]

Yea I hate leaks....you can do a lot to prvent them but they can happen....


White night!

Red on the LED no effect


Going on



These two loops are going for a clean then a step into some paint.


One 1/2 one 3/8


830 is back on my desk!!! Yes this time I will install the right and not have ocz out the side.



God I need windex/asap after this post lol can't see it with the screen on.....

DAMN IT'S TALL

WAY TALL

off topic..

Windex+LCD = FAIL & yellowish pictures.
I learned this hard way a few years ago on my iMac G5, the ammonia in windex messes up your picture over time, and makes it turn yellowish.

most computer stores have them these days, I got one that came with a sager notebook.. works wonders.

I find that spraying a light mist of Windex on a microfiber cloth cleans anything off, but doesn't leave behind all that streaking.
