NZXT HUE 2 EPIC RGB Build

We were recently sent some of NZXT’s latest RGB products to take a look at from their HUE 2 range. What better way to show you at home what they look like than to do a build FULL of everything we had?!

All of the pictures that accompany the product descriptions below are photos taken by us, so you can be assured of achieving the same look if you invest your hard earned cash in these awesome products.

A New Approach to RGB Accessories

One of the key innovations in the new HUE 2 family is the addition of a micro controller to every single RGB accessory. This innovative, patent-pending feature allows each HUE 2 component to identify its specific LED configuration, breaking the limits faced by existing RGB components available today.
In addition to allowing for different LED counts and unique accessories, this feature lets the user mix-and-match different components on a single channel making installation easier and allowing lighting modes to be synchronised across channels.

Aer RGB 2 Starter Kit (120mm or 140mm versions)

The Starter Kits include everything you need to add amazing RGB fans to your PC and are available in three configurations: 120mm with two fans, 120mm with three fans, and 140mm with two fans.

• HUE 2 RGB controller with four channels, each supporting up to 40 LEDs and six accessories
• Aer RGB 2 fans with individually addressable LEDs
• All necessary cables
• Backward-compatibility with existing HUE+ LED strips and Aer RGB fans.
  (Note: older HUE+ accessories cannot be mixed on the same channel with HUE 2 accessories)

HUE 2 Cable Comb Accessory

Nothing finishes off a fully-custom PC build like braided PSU cables—except braided PSU cables with RGB lighting. This new HUE 2 accessory adds RGB lighting to cable combs for the 24-, 4+4- and 6+2-pin PSU cables.
