XSPC ECX Ultra Concentrate Coolant

14mm OD Acrylic Tubing

Before we start a quick reminder – Variation in coolant color between photos is due to differences in lighting and backgrounds used.

ALL the photos with assorted colors in PETG or Acrylic tubes are order the same, left to right:
Black, White, Blood Red, Blue UV, Green UV, Clear UV, Clear.  Again we’ll start with white background photos.

LEDs at front and back is first up:

The fluids have nice colors with LED lighting, except the green which looks horribly washed out.

Next up is UV lighting with a white background:
No real UV effect can be seen here with the UV light at the front or back. The acrylic tube photo shoot was done first and because no UV effect was observed with the white background, I did not do this backdrop/lighting combination for the PETG tubes. It was only later that I realized that it was the acrylic tubes which seemed to cause less UV reaction than the PETG as you will see in the individual color pages for the UV active samples.

Perhaps the Green UV has a slight reaction, but you would be disappointed with this outcome if you did not know better before installing/filling:

Now to the Acrylic tubes with black background.

LED at the rear:
Green looks much better now with the black background.

LED at rear and overhead lighting:
White looks much better here.

LEDs at the front:
Clears are both super clear, and the rest look great. Deep dark black, crisp bright white and deep intense red and blue.
UV at the rear:

Green has the most UV reaction out of the three UV samples.

UV light in front:

The following photo is the exact same as the one above BUT light filters have been tweaked to show up the UV. This clearly shows that the white does not have a UV effect even though in some photos it may appear that it does.  Additionally we can clearly see that green has the most UV reaction, followed by Clear UV and Blue UV does not have much UV reaction at all compared to the other two samples.

Next – we’ll take a closer look at each color a little more closely.

First up is Black…
