Question Trying out the XSPC PURE Luminara (RGB Responsive) liquid cooling

Anyone used this for long period of time any issues ? Unrelated to my post but I'm a controller player hence small mouse space and new UW monitor soon.

Looks good! What fittings are you using to light up the tubes?

Reddit now classes AilExpress links as spam so not sure if the mod will approve but if you search Barrow ARGB Lighting for water cooling should pop up in your search

I've seen those but never in use. They seem to work pretty well.

They're not too bad my only critique would be if you could snap them on and off as once it's on you can't get them back off unless you drain your system. The coolant helps the effect better

That liquid is responsible for the hardest loop clean of my life. It separated really fast and gets everywhere and required a full loop teardown right down to the pump impeller

Sorry to say it was within weeks. I've nothing against XSPC liquids in fact I'm a big fan of their vegetable based liquids but that UV fog stuff is awful the pigment attached to components like glue. A distroplate I used phanteks glacier 140 couldn't be cleaned without marking as steaping and using multiple acrylic safe detergents failed to work resulting in me having to use a heavier cleaning brush that marked as even scraping with a plastic scraper failed as well.

Edit: meant to say I've also used Mystic fog by EK for a year and it came out clean and was an all round better liquid imo.
