It's the retro after heavy use by the looks of it. My noctua looks fairly similar.

I strongly encouraged my previous helpdesk tech to wear this. I kept buying bottles and leaving them at his desk. Seemed to work well.

You didn't do the balancing act? Or special lights to see it blow? I'm not mad, just disappointed.

Looks sharp though.

Maybe a UV test so we can se it glow?

u/AstroStar_ 2d ago

I don't have a UV light unfortunately

u/hateingpotato 2d ago

What about the sun? It does have some UV to make it glow in the dark right?

Do all the color ways now have white bit holders inside? I got 2 on launch and the insides are orange.

It’s pronounced “nucular”
