XSPC 14mm OD PETG Tubing

Very little image editing was done on the photos in this review to give you the most realist view / perspective possible of the coolant colors. Variation in coolant color between photos is therefore due to differences in lighting and background.

ALL the photos with assorted colors in PETG or Acrylic tubes are ordered the same, left to right:
Black, White, Blood Red, Blue UV, Green UV, Clear UV, Clear.

First up a few white background shots:

XSPC-ECX-PETG-Tubes-1001Above: LED light in front is the only light source.

Only using LED lighting makes the backdrop look grey, but the coolant color is accurate.

Below: LEDs front and rear.

XSPC-ECX-PETG-Tubes-1008The UV green often appeared very washed out with a light background, while the other colors had good intensity or clarity.

Black backdrop and overhead lighting:
XSPC-ECX-PETG-Tubes-1009LEDs front and back.
XSPC-ECX-PETG-Tubes-1015
CC UV Lighting at rear.
XSPC-ECX-PETG-Tubes-1022

The intensity of the UV effect was dependent on placement of the light source:

XSPC-ECX-PETG-Tubes-1019It might appear in some photos that the White fluid (2nd from the left) has a UV reaction, but it does not.

CC UV Lighting at front:
XSPC-ECX-PETG-Tubes-1024
To finish off, the CC UV is placed directly above:
XSPC-ECX-PETG-Tubes-1025

Next we set up Acrylic tubes and see each color side by side again.

Acrylic tubing has much better clarity than PETG so we’ll get a better look at the mixed colors, and besides so many hard-liners (including ourselves) run Acrylic that we couldn’t leave it out.

  1. Outstanding! I checked this out to see how the XSPC coolant looked and see what you folks thought about it in general. As always, ER delivered an article with amazing detail covering things I didn’t think about!
