That was with their first revision of the ACX cooler. The SSC ACX2.0+ version has no issue.
I run a Strix, but would take the EVGA one if given the option to now.
As for painting the shroud, I painted the XFX 280X I had in my previous build white as well as a few other components.
NZXT S340 w/ MSI Z97S Krait Edition - Pure Sexiness - Album on Imgur I ended up adding a Kraken G10 to it later, but didn't take any photos of it.
I believe painting the shroud voids warranty, but it's ok to switch out the heatsink for another cooler or to open it up for repasting. If you want to be cautious, buy an aftermarket cooler and paint that. Plastidip is fine. The shroud doesn't generally get hot.
