Project Ecthelion: RAM Heatsink Color MOD

Continuing with the color theme we have going for the case, GPUs and Motherboard, we need to modify the 64GB of GSkill Trident Z RAM we have going into this system.  The actual heatsinks are great, with a gunmetal finish, but the red plastic highlights have to go.



Bring on the Spray Paint!  These were a bit trickier than larger components as I wasn't able to hang them from a wire like I normally do when painting. Having them propped up a bit worked, and I let them dry overnight to ensure the paint wouldn't easily rub or scratch off.



Once installed on the RAM, they look great.  Glad they were pretty easy to take on and off, otherwise I probably would have scratch a bit of paint in the process.



Here are a few shots of the RAM installed next to the white motherboard shroud and Monoblock.



Here we have them next to the modified GPU waterblocks.  Really liking how these components are coming together.



Installed, and very impressive.



Next up, going to make an acrylic backing for the case to hide some of the holes and openings for a cleaner look.
