When forced to have rgb components.. I disabled them. If nothing else it's yet another point of failure and extra waste heat.

How bright were those LEDs?

Speaking of heat, I ended up turning my stupid stinky rgb on to display the temperatures of various components. Blue to red the hotter it gets. RAM shows ram temp, water block shows cpu package, radiator fans for coolant/core max, gpu does gpu, etc. Actually pretty useful.

That was about the only cool feature on my Corsair AIO when the LED still worked. But I don't remember if it was able to go smoothly from one color to another. Might've been.

Should get a new CLC or an Air Cooler before this one starts leaking I guess, it's the original h100i.

Yep, I have an fully enclosed case. Only RGB is my water cooling block on my cpu that I left the rgb header unplugged. Even though I would never see it, I am a person of principle, damn it!
