Hi guys,

About a month ago I build a new system.
3770k
MPowerz77
1866 c9 vengeance ram

Now having it for a month, I'd like to change te color scheme from "nothing" to black 'nd red.
BUT the yellow on the mobo annoys me.
Is there any way to remove this yellow, and if I do so, will it void my waranty?
Again this is about the MSI z77 Mpower motherboard

Pretty obvious

Best bet is to take the heatsinks off the mobo, and use a fine hobbyists paintbrush to paint over the yellow bits.

Even if I just paint-brush it?

Thx for your reply!

If I touch the heatsink it acutally feels pretty cold.. What if I can get red stickers, put them on top of the yellow, and if I ever have to RMA the board I just remove the red stickers?

The yellow really looks to me to just be part of a sticker. Yeah, trim up some red sticker and put it over the yellow.

when I wanted to change the color in my case I used some colored film from a sign store. It leaves no residue behind when you peel it off later. cheap too.

Theres no reason stickers wouldnt work
