[QUOTE="Joe88, post: 8009187, member: 111209"] So I have a black and gold theme in my machine, ( [URL]https://imgur.com/4ZxOG91[/URL] ) unfortunately the MSI card was red and black so you can see it clashes badly, and they pretty much only come in that except for more recent stuff like the Quick Silver edition, and also lightning which are more yellow theme, they also have the armor series in white but the low end hsf just doesnt compete with the twin forzr design. Now some time ago they released the 980ti golden edition [IMG]https://www.picclickimg.com/d/l400/pict/192545582815_/MSI-GTX-980-TI-Golden-Edition-graphics-card.jpg[/IMG] That would have been great except I wasn't willing to pay $700 for a gpu (just for reference I spent $250 on the 390) and they only made a 980ti version. So now the warranty is expired I figured now is a good time to make my own golden edition. Pics will be in the spoilers below. So first things first is to remove the shroud, fairly easy, 4 screws holding it on and you slip the little holders through the fan blades. A problem popped up was the led which was housed in the shroud, so I basically had to remove the whole heatsink (9 more screws from the rear of the card) to get at the led power cable [SPOILER][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/4TEWL9e.jpg[/IMG][/SPOILER] Next up is separating the parts to be painted, removing the led strap and such.

[SPOILER][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/lxYm2y0.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/asT2HiP.jpg[/IMG] [/SPOILER] Now we have a our parts for painting, paints used for this was a rust-o-oleum flexidip (white) and a metallic gold spray paint.
