If you're using GTX 980 Ti card(s), then show it off here! These cards look so fine with white LEDs. I can't wait for the new MSI Gaming SLI Bridge to be released as it matches the color theme of my rig (black and red).

Well I made sure to cover up any exposed electronic connections (the side of the connection that connects to the cards). I only put 3-4 layers on the top visible side of the bridge. Seems perfectly safe to me.

I-Siamak-I May I ask what kind of paint you used and also how did u change the Green Geforce LEDs to White ones?
Sure, I used Rustoleum Textured Black spray paint ( this stuff here). As for the letters, it's a fairly simple process. It's actually a white LED strip in the "GEFORCE GTX" logo, and it shines through green translucent paint that they apply to the raised letters, giving it that lime green glow coloring from the factory. If you take the time to remove the letters from the fan shroud, secure them, and then carefully sand them down with 200-600 grit sandpaper, you can remove the green paint, leaving you with clear/translucent letters. Do NOT try sanding the letters down while they're still in the fan/heatsink shroud housing. Here's a picture of it in progress, but keep in mind that I probably sanded a little more after this pic was taken to ensure as much of the green paint was removed as possible. This is essentially what it looks like when it's done, without the LED powered on (NOTE: this is not my picture or my cards, just a similar result).

Wow, that is a great look. I may have to experiment with that rustoleum look though, very nice. I am considering taking the Hybrid model housing to a local machine shop and using their 3D scanner and printer to create a shell I can custom paint (so I don't void my warranty and I get multiple tries to get the look right). I was planning on a liquid metal and carbon fiber look. I think the texture of the rustoleum would go well with that.

It's a neat idea, does it void warranty? Heizer79 I get it from the German Online store "Mindfactory" Its a "Intel Thermal Solution TS13X"

How does it compare to other popular AIOs?

Nah, it's just cosmetic changes. If I were to send it into EVGA for warranty work, I'm sure they'd charge me for the fan shroud/cooler, but I have a way around that too... If I am unfortunate enough to need to use my warranty in the next 3 years, I'll just do a cross-ship RMA (where they send you the replacement first). Once the replacement arrives, I'll swap the coolers, and send my defective card back. No difference to EVGA, and I keep my beautiful custom shroud. :)

If you aren't having luck with paint, try adhesive vinyl. Far less mess and madness.

I think I used 4 coats (3 at least). You've just gotta gauge it by what it looks like, and take your time. I waited 20-30 minutes between coats. Make sure your first coat is very light (so you can still see the original color), it's only meant to help subsequent coats stick to the material you're painting. The second coat might be similar, where you can still see some of the original color. Maybe, maybe not. Depends on the original color, and what you're painting, but the idea is to take your time and go slow. Make sure you do even coats, from a distance, and don't let the spray can sit in any one area very long. After the 3rd or 4th, you should have the entire surface evenly painted. Then maybe one more coats to ensure a good even paint job, and you're done. Very easy, really. If you're unsure of your skills, start by painting some junk you've got lying around the house, and see how that turns out. If you're happy with your skills on the practice pieces, then move onto the important stuff. Good luck, and feel free to PM me if you've got any questions down the road.
