I gave it some color/contrast to go with my case's color theme. This is the first AIO GPU i've ever owned and I utterly freaking love it! After years of big and heavy air cooled GPU's with huge azz heatsinks and ok temps, I can't believe how cool this thing runs with stock voltage at 2050/2037mhz on the core! Even after 2 hours of superposition loop, it never went past 46c! The stock fan was just too loud so I replaced it with a Noiseblocker eloop and hooked it to a mobo header to reduce speed on Eloop from 2100rpm to 1600rpm for balanced cooling and noise If your curious on the process of how I got it painted, you can view it here: https://imgur.com/a/AKV1x4w

Just a FYI... Painting the shroud doesn't void the warranty. You'll be charged a service fee to replace the shroud if it can't be restored to original condition. Note: https://forums.evga.com/FindPost/2718829

Very surprised to hear that! Too bad I already purchased a stock backup replacement shroud should I need warranty work. Owell.

Good thinking on your part.  Where did you purchase the extra shroud? Off ebay?

To give some more clarification, The product would need to be sent to us in its original factory condition to be accepted for warranty. In the event that the product cannot be returned in its original factory condition, you can opt for the Cross-ship RMA and simply replace the shroud (or effected non-revertible part) of the unit with the replacement card. -Jacob B.

That's also a great idea as well. :) Good job thinking forward! -Jacob B.

Where did you purchase the extra shroud? Off ebay?
Considering I may have this GPU well after warranty due to life changing circumstances and may not have money for a new GPU, I was very worried about the pump failing and thus, no operational GPU. So I bought a used FTW3 Hybrid kit off ebay for $90 so I have a backup AIO as well spare shroud to paint as I really love this GPU being my first AIO cooled one after years and years of air cooled models. I really need it to last since finances will soon take priority for hawaiian proposal, marriage and international moving that will eat up my game rig funds for some years

Congratulation sounds like things are going well in your relationship. Just keep in mind it only takes $20 a week set aside to build a great gaming PC. If you are able to do it for a whole year that is $1040. That would be enough I feel to do a high end new build every about two or three years.

"shrug" I can barely handle thinking 1 month ahead, let alone years. I prefer living in the moment
