as you can see it haves that Blue colours in the heat dissipators, my question is , can i paint that blue whit Plastidip whitout afecting temps to much ?
only the Blue of the heatsinks. not the complete heatsinks.

saying this cause :.

Black case , will probably be repainted or not i haved decided yet, will be Moded by me.

and this is what i have :.
G-Skill Trident-x ( Red MEMS)
MSI 390X gaming 8gb (Red + Black)
CPU Waterblock (BLACK)
RAD Phobya G-Changer v2 360mm.

and then i have that MB whit blue acents , thats why im asking that on the top regarding the MB.

Edit for Spelling ... what else :) !
 
Shouldn't cause any problems, but those boards are known for overheating so monitor it closely.

thanks for your reply and heads up , i might get lucky , cause i will take the heatsinks out to paint the blue acents and replace the marvelous(NOT) thermal paste that MB´s in general have i might even be able to take some degres off :).

i had a Asus Striker II Formula (that from what i had along the years in terms of MB´s , it was the ****yest MB ever that i owned and it costed me 220€ back in 2007) and i was having problems whit the MB cause the NB and SB where overheating so much that the pc was powering down due MB overheat (STOCK voltages no OC) , i took all the heat sinks off and replaced the Thermal for a good quality thermal ( i belive i used Artic silver at the time) and i as able to take 20 degres of the NB and some more in the SB, you guys might say ohhh that was probly afther some years of usage , no its was taken out of the BOX whit that problem.

after that i was able to OC my Q6600 to 3,8 air cooled stable.
 
FWIW most motherboards use thermal pads, NOT thermal paste, under heatsinks.
