Painted GTX 260 side plate – phase 1 – testing

DSCN8053.JPG (183 KB)

Painted this last night outside 20F on top of ice for first coat/test.

Left it in the garage (40F) all night, seems pretty dry.

Going to do an hour-2 hour on card drying/testing at idle temps (100F on chip, probably 80-90 on the plate, which is the max for the drying temp of the paint)

Up close, you can see a couple spots and the obvious red underneath but it looks ok in the picture

Hooked all 3 temp sensors on the case to various places on the plate and it’s 70-85, and this is touching the metal that connects to the plate, so I’m sure it’s not TOO hot.

Plus it’s 65 in my room.

Please rate color scheme.

I have one blue SATA cable because the mobo is black/blue

This theme is black/white/blue.

Would prefer green but I’m not going to go through the trouble of finding a green/black mobo.

I work with what I have.
