Initial Setup

The pastel diffusers on the V-Color PRISM II RGB lend a unique look to the kit, though it may be hard to perfectly match with other components. While not the best fit with the dark colors of my ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 7, both orange and green contrast wonderfully with the backplate of my EVGA 2080 FTW graphics card.

The large RGB LED diffuser gives the V-Color PRISM II RGB a soft look without sacrificing any brightness. The individual RGB LEDs are visible through the diffusion, but overall, the V-Color PRISM II RGB kit looks excellent. The pastel colors are hard to distinguish when the lights are on, so you don't have to worry about mismatched color tones in your lighting.

Thaiphoon shows that these are Hynix CJR chips. It also shows an 8-layer PCB despite markings and V-Color marketing indicating a 10-layer PCB. I am inclined to believe Thaiphoon is in error here.
