What Kind of Plastic is Used on the GTX 970? Is it Painted Black?

Hello, I'm going to be painting the black parts of the MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G card I have, and so I was wondering about the cooling system they have on it. There's probably a specific name for the thing that I'm referring to, but I'm basically painting the black parts of that plastic shell around the fans and the heat sink. I won't be painting the fans themselves. So, is it just black plastic used? I don't actually know anything about painting it yet, but from what I've heard, if it is painted I'll need to remove the paint.
Thanks!

Hi
I believe it's black plastic. Or at least feels like it's not painted but plain black plastic.
Please note that if you paint it, you will void warranty. Unless you remove all paint before RMAing if you'll ever have to send it back for warranty (hopefully never).

  • What kind of glass is used for the iPhone 6?

    I want to get a case before we upgrade to the iPhone 6.  Some of the cases we are looking at (Speck Mightyshell) do not come with screen protectors.  I was wondering what kind of glass is used for the iPhone 6 and if a screen protector is even necessary?

    The iPhone 6 currently uses Corning’s Gorilla Glass. There was some speculation that they would start using Sapphire glass but I guess they’re not ready yet. I have had my iPad 2 for years now and the glass is still perfectly fine. My new iPhone 6 uses a more developed version of the same glass. Will the glass break? Yes. Will the glass scratch? Yes, if you carry your phone in the same pocket as your car keys, the screen will scratch. It’s not impervious, just highly resistant.
    I do have a real life controlled experiment going on in the family. My wife and one son have their iPhone 6s in a case WITH a screen protector. Myself and my other son carry our iPhone 6s around without ANY protection whatsoever, no case and no screen protector. So far they all still look perfectly fine. We’ll se how this experiment turns out.

  • Wanna know what kind of effect that used on this video?

    wanna know what kind of effect that used in transformation in this video or can we  just crop the effect .

    That transformation is a result of careful planning, 3-D modeling, and layering. It is not just an effect. 3-D tracking, camera tracking, match moving, rotoscope, keying, and other effects can be used to create this kind of transformation. Without careful preproduction planning this kind of a shot/effect is nearly impossible.
    If you already knew that then what part of the transformation is giving you troubl?

    The hub is not compatible. It sounds like the unit is powering the link to the TC.. which would cause the TC to freeze up. You might need a special USB cable which has just data connection but no power.
    It is really hard to get info on hubs that work.. particularly because there are so many around and many are changed .. eg if you buy a belkin this year it fails when last years one worked.. that is because all the manufacturer is farmed out to various factories in China who use .. the cheapest parts available today to build them.. next week it could be different.
    The TC just doesn't have a huge amount of memory to store drivers for every USB under the sun. So some work some don't. The best I have found is the cheapest brand x USB2. I would not bother with USB3 since that chipset is even more unlikely to be supported than USB2 ones.
    I have tried to get people to add to a database.. not much so far.

  • What data type I can use if the text is more then 4000 varchar?

    Dear all,
    What data type I can use if the text is more then 4000 varchar?
    Please advice,
    Amy

    You didn't specify if you are referring to tables or code.
    In tables the limit is varchar2(4000) so anything bigger will need to be stored in a CLOB (as already mentioned).
    In PL/SQL code you can defined varchar2 up to 32K so varchar2(32767).

  • What kind of hard drive is in the hp pavillion dv6700. its about 7 years old

    its running vista, but the computer will not boot all the way.  I did a diagnosis test and it said to replace the disk drive so im just wondering what kind of hard drive is in it.   What happens is the computer loads to the the microsoft , right before you would put ur password in, and then just stays black.  
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Piece of cake on your model.
    If the test indicates the drive needs to be replaced, I wouldn't argue against that info.
    You can try reinstalling the OS before buying a new HDD but if it doesn't work, then you know the drive is kaput.
    Below is the link to the service manual.
    R & R procedures are in chapter 4.
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01295877.pdf
    You will also need to reinstall the operating system. You can see if recovery disks are available by contacting HP technical support.
    If you can read the 25 character MS Vista product key on the bottom of your PC, you can make your own Vista installation disk and use that to install the OS.
    If you're up to a slight but rewarding challenge you can make your own if you can read your 25 character Vista product key on the PC.
    Just download the 3 files you need at the link below, and read all of the instructions to create a bootable DVD installation disk using imageburn.
    Disregard the part of the text under the first screen shot about "extract the files to the Vista folder."
    The files were already extracted to that folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screen shot.
    The other thing I noticed is on the 4th screen shot, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in myself, and then the other codes automatically populated.
    When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message that about a WIM file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.
    I selected No, make the ISO file.
    It was not that hard to do. I burned both the 64 bit disk and the 32 bit disk in case I ever need them.
    I tested both of them on my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, they worked perfectly.
    When you enter the product key, it knows what version of Vista you have.
    http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/softwa​re-os/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-microsoft-windows-v.​...
    After you successfully install Vista, you can then install the drivers from your PC's support and driver page.
    This is where I buy my PC hardware:
    Top of the line 250 GB 7,200 RPM drive:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8​2E16822136279
    A standard 250 GB 5,400 RPM drive of good quality.
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8​2E16822236238
    You need to transfer the caddy, screws and connector from the old HDD to the new one, so don't toss anything out until the job is done.

  • Deciding what kind of file to use to display a message

    I have an email system which is a pop system that basically pulls my emails from gmail. And I am trying to also view these emails. In particular cases, emails are just simple plaintext and so I can just display that in a JTextArea or something like that. But certain emails are much more complicated and I do not know how to display it. For example, here is the content from an email: (scroll all the way down for the rest of my question)

    *So how would I display this email to the user. I tried placing this in a text file and then making that an html file, but that didn't work. What kind of file/what would I use to display this email in Java? Thanks for your help!*
    *Robert*

    did you put the entire content of the email in a file and try to load it as html? is so, that would be your problem. that email is a mime multipart, which means there are separate sections which are different types. if you take the second part, between the "<html>....</html>" tags, that should be a valid html. the first part is plain text. please read up on mime multipart encoding and that should give you a better idea how to handle these emails.

Maybe you are looking for
