but is it RGB

Yes, it even has various lighting modes, like pulsating etc.

Watch a video on it on Youtube.

just make sure the area youre sticking it to has been cleaned

it might come off after a cople months, but you can always get some better double sided tape and restick it

Is it worth keeping though? like are the LEDs strong and nice?

Stick it down with blue tack or just hold it somewhere and light it up to see where the best place to put it is

hmm you mean using rgb or just single coloured light strips

RGB is good if your interested in multi coloured lighting however it is or could be cheaper than buying two strips that are different colours

Well some people have told me that the quality of the HUE is hit or miss and I did pay 60 USD for it because thats sweden for ya, anyway, if it were to be a good unit would the RED LEDs be strong but not take atention away from my components?

Adhesive is pretty sucky but Just use double sided tape or even regular packing tape taped to itself instead. I've got one in my rig with no issues.

I just ordered the corsair link RBG lighting node, only the lighting node tho @ 29.99, as i already have a H100i,

and a 860i, so there was no point getting the additional corsair link kit when i can plug it directly into my

H100i or my 860i depending on how i want my cable management to work. haven't seen much on these

lights, so they could be super good, or they could be super bad, but was willing to find out @ 30 bucks eh.

 

The Nzxt hue's look great, especially the compatibility with cases look's to be really good with them, i've

seen people really raving over how they fit surprising well for some corsair cases, like they were made for them.

the only thing that turned my off about the nzxt hue was the front light controllers, i have a corsair 750D, and the

idea of having the nzxt hue stick out the front of my case like a sore thumb, i couldn't deal with, some would argue

that the aesthetics of it really match that of the 750D, but even still, for my taste it doesn't match it enough.

 

But yeah, those are my 2 cents on the matter, enjoy the lights!
