GPU

[heavy hill]

Does the GPU have a custom plate? If so then that's hella sick. I'll consider it for my build

[sharp igloo]

ftw3 gang

[glass crag]

at first i wanted a white gpu but you know its too hard to find the gpu you wanted so i had to improvise

i spray painted the shroud

[glass crag]

ftw3 gang 💯

[heavy hill]

Ohh that's so siiick!

I'll most likely try the same thing when I get one

[glass crag]

👍

[heavy hill]

Did you add any type of coating to it after the paint?

[glass crag]

you should haha its very fun and rewarding

when you paint it try to do it 3 coats to keep the texture of your shroud

[heavy hill]

Got it. Thanks a lot!

[mystic wind]

What a beauty

I'm planning to buy the same stuff!

[nocturne spear]

Was it high heat paint?

[glass crag]

i used krylon fusion, yes its high heat resistance

matte white

[nocturne spear]

o

[glass crag]

here some more pics

[nocturne spear]

thinkin of doin to a fe

[glass crag]

Ive heard FE is harder to paint

[mystic wind]

I hate how in EVGA FTW3 Ultra GPUs you can't set a white color

That's like blue lol

[glass crag]

ikr its not fully white

[mystic wind]

How much is your build?

I know 3090 goes for $1900-2200 at scalper price

[glass crag]

uh the price

around 3k 😩

specs are
Ryzen R7 5800x
Corsair 32gb 3600mhz
Asus prime x570
Evga rtx 3090
2x 2TB samsung 980 pro nvme

[mystic wind]

If you sprayed your gpu (Lost your warranty), i'm guessing you have more than enough money to buy a new GPU in case it malfunctions lol.

Nice build bro

[glass crag]

actually my warranty arent voided

evga are very kind enough to send me a spare shroud

[mystic wind]

Lmao i love it

[trim cargo]

@glass crag what mobo

[glass crag]

speaking of evga they have the best costumer service

[trim cargo]

Is that a black one?

[mystic wind]

Yes!

[mystic wind]

The one in the pics is black tho

And yes

Yeah it's a black one but has white details

[trim cargo]

I originally wanted a white build but all my parts ended up being black. I might spray paint the black parts

It's all black when I intended white

[mystic wind]

Rip lol

[glass crag]

thats sexy looking build

[mystic wind]

Nice build btw

[trim cargo]

How easy is it (I have no experience)

Thanks!

[mystic wind]

I only have 6 UniFans, i'm getting a 3070 ftw3 ultra and i already have both rgb psu extension cables, hope my build looks a little bit like yours when it's finished.

[glass crag]

nicee

[mystic wind]

If the customs don't charge me taxes then i'll probably get a 3080 ti

But that's too much for 1080p so i'm just sticking to a 3080 maybe

[mystic wind]

Ty. Hope they don't charge me taxes

Apparently if you say it's for personal use they don't charge any taxes

If they do it's like $100-200 :(

[glass crag]

3070 is already good on 1080p gaming

[mystic wind]

True

[glass crag]

its what i have before

[mystic wind]

Maybe i could get better ram, an AIO and 3 more unifans

With the extra money

[glass crag]

tbh my white build arent used to be like this

[mystic wind]

Nice!

[trim cargo]

How easy is it to paint my Mobo white?

[mystic wind]

I wouldn't recommend doing that tbh.

Lol that sounds dangerous

I mean

You could spray the other stuff tho

But i think the mobo is fine in black

[trim cargo]

Just the io pretty

Part

[glass crag]

this what it looks like before

[trim cargo]

And heatsink

[glass crag]

when i first build it

[mystic wind]

I hate the XC3 versions of EVGA GPUs :(

[glass crag]

then day by day i started improvising to white build

[mystic wind]

Nice build tho

[heavy hill]

White builds are so beautiful but I feel like it would get dirty pretty fast

[mystic wind]

Congrats bro

[mystic wind]

You can clean it with compressed air and you'd be fine :)

The problem is being like not lazy enough to clean it

[trim cargo]

Tbh I found my black parts get dirty faster than my white parts

[heavy hill]

Ooh neat. Heavily considering one then

[trim cargo]

Since dust is a light color

[glass crag]

heres what it looks like before

[heavy hill]

I feel like I'm the type of guy that'll clean it after every use lmfao

[glass crag]

i gave up looking for white gpu

[mystic wind]

Lol, same!

[glass crag]

its too hard

[trim cargo]

Nah, it's not worth it

[mystic wind]

Yeah

[mystic wind]

Nice build bro!

[trim cargo]

Even though my build is super easy to clean there isn't a good reason to

Once every 2 months or so

And it's the black parts I clean

[mystic wind]

Mine's ass right now i feel embarrassed to share it

[trim cargo]

Mainly the front fans and GPU backplate

[glass crag]

orange white and black looks nice

[mystic wind]

True

[trim cargo]

I switch my themes every day loll

[glass crag]

isnt that great

you could just switch your rgb to any color

[glass crag]

it would still look great

[trim cargo]

It's cool

My homescreen for my phone and dsicord

[heavy hill]

Should I get a white Z73 or would a black one look good on a white build?

[glass crag]

i mean the white would compliment your white build

i have the black because i bought it before the white version aren’t announced or released

[trim cargo]

White+ some black+RGB is beautiful

[glass crag]

tbh i really wanted the white asus strix gpu

[trim cargo]

Same!!!

[glass crag]

looks way better than what i have

[trim cargo]

The strix 3080 white

Yeah

[glass crag]

cruel world we live in

[trim cargo]

Lmao

People in Africa

😭

[glass crag]

no where to be found in my area or even online

[trim cargo]

There are some on eBay but they're 2600 rn

Not worth it

It looks nice but it's not THAT nice

[glass crag]

not worth at all

[heavy hill]

I'll just pull some 5-Minute Crafts thing like Jay did 😭 😭

Thing is that it looks insane

I honestly thought it was a plate he bought or something

[trim cargo]

The thing is, I prefer to keep my PC working and my warranty intact. I also really want a white build tho

[heavy hill]

The only downside to a white build is the GPU

[glass crag]

agreed

[heavy hill]

Although

I could just get a regular one and mount it regularly

Shouldn't be too noticeable

[idle flame]

I’m wanting to do the same with mine. The shroud, fans, and back plate.

[trim cargo]

@glass crag

[glass crag]

👀

[trim cargo]

There seems to be a similarity

[glass crag]

the gpu and vertical yes

[trim cargo]

White evga

[glass crag]

the rest are not

[mystic wind]

@brisk forge

[brisk forge]

Dayum

that's literally full white

[sharp ice]

DAMN SHEEESH

THIS BUILD SO FCKING GOOD

compaired to mine lol

[trim cargo]

new theme lol

[glass crag]

thanks guys

[surreal steppe]

@glass crag just asking, where did u got the rtx 3090

[glass crag]

newegg

[surreal steppe]

how much did it cost

[glass crag]

got it for 1800$

[surreal steppe]

wow how

that is impossible

it costs over 3k

how

[mystic wind]

It's most likely that he used a bot. It's pretty much impossible to grab one on Newegg being a human lol.

[surreal steppe]

damn

he could get a 3080ti

but still cool

[surreal steppe]

is this true @glass crag

[mystic wind]

Yes. I was being a little sarcastic. But if you see Newegg they're pretty much always out of stock. When there is stock it gets sold out in seconds because bots buy the GPUs.

[surreal steppe]

damn

ik what newegg is but i’m actually german so
