Question spray painting GPU will it burn?

[yifsho]

so i am planing to spray pain my gpu that is going up to 70 80 degree will the paing flame or melt or something like that at this temp ? also my paint says that is extremly flameable

Why are you doing this?

Do you mean painting a fan shroud, or the whole GPU (not recommended)?

i want my gpu to be white and i am planing only exterior that is not connected to performance things my gpu is gtx 760 that have back safety part that is onlyplastic i want to paint that and in front of gpu that is only plastic too
nothing related to what works up gpu
the front part is not hot at all the back part is like burning like u can cook egg on it dd

 

[Gururu]

Several reasons why not to do this, primary being that you will be adding another layer of insulation on the chips that is flammable (particularly if using a paint that is not designed for high temperature). Not to mention possible short circuits on the wiring. Painting the silicon and chips seems dangerous.

ok good, would you be able to remove before painting?

Those plastic bits (shroud/backplate) can be painted if you use the right type of paint (something high temperature might be wise). I would remove and paint, then re-assemble.

yes ofc without a doubt i will remove it and paint it like that but i wanted to know when i am playing does my pgu or paint on that gpu melt or worst case flame appears

Only paint the exterior side of the parts, not the GPU facing side. Also, try to use as thin a coat of paint as possible. Should be okay.

The common recommendation for PC component paint that is readily available in stores is engine enamel. It is high temperature rated, well beyond what the typical computer can produce. Complete overkill, but peace of mind.

Keep in mind you are seeing the GPU core temperature, not the temperature of the heatsink, it will be cooler, or it wouldn't work. Air movement from the fans will keep the shroud from getting anywhere near a temperature to affect common spray paint.

ye but the part i want to paint that is on back of my gpu the plastic that defends back of the side is heating so much it is not gpu performance thing only plastic is heating but if i spray paint that thing and it heats up to 90 degree i might get flame my spray paint says extremly flameable when i bought it i didnt think of the heat

If you use the type of paint @Eximo mentioned, this won't be an issue. That backplate doesn't get that hot, or shouldn't. If it did, your GPU would likely be toast.

That isn't a high temperature paint. Have you looked at the label itself for any temperature related information?

I wouldn't recommend this, because I don't have enough information to make a sound recommendation.

If a high temperature paint, as previously suggested, I would say proceed.

If you proceed with the current paint. Good luck.

i read someone sad that every paint can endure 120 degree

 

[USAFRet]

i read someone sad that every paint can endure 120 degree

120F or 120C?

The paints are generally described as highly flamable because of the propellant used to push the paint out of the can and the solvent used to thin the paint so that it can be sprayed. Secondly fine particles that are not normally flamable (like corn flour) will burn like crazy when they are suspended in air and they are exposed to a flame.

High temperature paints have better durability in hot environments and retain their colour better. As I kid I had a bike with matt black exhaust pipes, they began to rust and I used normal auto paint to bring them back to black. At a few hundred degrees the paint was gone in a week. Using appropriate paint they remained black.

Check the datasheet for the paint you want to use with regard to temps, the back of the card shouldn’t get above 100°C. Be prepared for potential discolouration. Apply the thinnest possible layer in many thinner coats, allow the paint to dry fully between coats and leave the plate for a day or so to fully cure before refitting it to the card. Allowing it to cure means that no volatile solvent will remain in the paint.

Bad idea in general imo. It can be done but it just seems risky to me even with all the precautions.
