Hello. I might be receiving a free gtx 1070 founders edition and to make it fit with a white build I was wondering how I should go by painting the shroud white. Has anyone done this already? Any pictures or tips? Thanks

the key to painting anything is prep work is 90% of the job. You must keep it as clean as surgery while working and use lot's of masking tape. Make sure to clean right before you spray with a dust proof cloth. I like to use automotive paints with clear coat. More color choices and it's tough.

Taking the card apart isn't hard. I like to make a rough drawing of the card and screw holes and lay the screws on the paper so I know...

I would have never got a blower but it only cost me $140 for a GTX 1070.
Once I tuned it to run a little hot, the noise isn't so bad.
