I think getting the paint between the fins would really mess the cooler up.

As for the placement of the cooler. IDKLOL . Again this is my first build and I grazed over the manuals then started plugging stuff in.

I can tell you that there is plenty of air pushed around in this case and it is cold to the touch. When I start OCing, I guess I'll find out.

If you just paint the top logo? You would be sacrificing some thermal conductivity, but it would look cool?

I'd love to see someone actually colour it in nicely.

I get what you're saying, you were wanting it to be black like the TRUE Black
Man thats weird looking at that megahalem and then looking to my right and seeing it sitting on my desk lol. But black or not, the mega shadow still looks awesome.
