I'm officially done with RGB

It's the ones I want from the only brand that makes them that are sketchy. I've seen reviews where they have set on fire, blown power supplies, took out other components as well, etc.

 

These ones:

https://www.amazon.ca/Logisys-Liquid-Thunder-Pattern-Light/dp/B003E3Z4IS/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1508777597&sr=1-1&keywords=Logisys Blue Liquid Neon Thunder Pattern Light&tag=linustechti06-20

 

I don't trust the wiring on these things by the sounds of it.

They might have 4 stars in their review but I've read a lot of stuff on these and they're hit and miss.

Some people have no trouble with them, but others had nightmarish problems because of them.

 

Is an ordinary blue not something you'd consider? I mean bear in mind you shouldn't be looking directly at uv light anyway.

nah, I wouldn't bother now. These coolermaster led strips have the same effect anyways.

I would go with cathodes if I were doing a UV reactive fluid custom watercooled system though.

Yeah that's cool. I was gonna do a uv reactive fluid for mine. I want a nice vivid blue effect, and a vaporeon shaped reservoir.

That would look awesome.

I should have saved up more and did custom liquid cooling but I chickened out and bought a fractal design AIO instead.

There's nothing wrong with doing aio cooling, but I want mine to be unique. I'm very picky about customisation.

Yea, I'm kicking myself though because a custom waterloop with hardline would have been a lot more fun. I just cheaped out and decided to wait until I have to build another computer since I only have like 2 years left on my CPU and Mobo before replacing them.

I like the RGB only because I will never be happy with a single color.

I like silent and dust free as good as it goes... the machine is under my desk... so no matter how much bling, the wooden table won't let me see it...

 

well yes someone will come up with OVERCLOCKED MY RGB... and the desk crumbles to ashes...

 

like with the overclocked laser in the mouse which leaves dark traces in the desks wood... and always smells a little burned...

 

And in the living room I want darkness when watching movies and no supernovae smiling at me from any corner... 

 

If I ever need to build a showcase, then yes I would go for RGB but for daily driver? hell no...

Cooler master you just lost my business..
