Hexes in RGB gives you the option of changing colour either to preference or by temperature. Currently my pump, GFX and CPU blocks each change colour according to their temperature and the res and front light change colour based on the coolant temperature. Hit the max of 4 RGB controller channels the Aquaero 6 can manage. Could hand some of them off to the Farbwerk I believe if necessary but prefer not to have any USB connection to the Farbwerk that I'd need to configure it.
Farbwerk will give you four channels of RGB strips. Go for the light water resistant type (there's a heavier one that's sort of set in plastic like a rope light but the lighter one just has a gel covering set onto the strip) not for the water resistance - although that could be useful in a worst case scenario! - but because on the non water resistant versions the contacts are exposed every 3 LEDs so that you can cut to length. Problem is that you can short them out fairly easily if you're a klutz....like me
Ordered the LEDs last night. Got the same ones as I use on my desk. Had them over a year with no problems so should be good. These won't be controlled by the aquaero 6 as can't justify the extra cost of farbwerk for now. They will be controlled via remote. They are the water resistant ones. Got the clear hex panel and that looks great but still trying to find someone to cut the door.
It's full RGB so I can have any colour I need or just turn it off. Here's some pics...
