Is it just me, or is the "UV Reactive" part of this coolant very underwhelming? And it's not just the LED color, it's the same under all colors. Bleh. Guess I'll wait till I can get some of Primochill new fluid and then switch again.

UV effects need to have it in dark environments with UV lighting, turn off all the other lighting in the case.

There's really not a lot of light coming in from the window, that's the auto focus on my phone. It doesn't look much better in the dark.

Oh idk in that case, that is kind of disappointing

There is UV lighting in there too, I've got hybrid strips, all other UV Reactive coolant I've used has reached much better, with all the leds on. This is the first UV coolant I've tried that hasn't popped.

Did they happen to be UV green and blue colors, reds and oranges tend to be the least reactive. even for the hybrid strips your best is to turn off all the lights and have only UV or only RGB lighting.

Yes, this is the first red. I'll go back to ice blue or try Primochill's new fluid  when it is available.
