I’ve had an NZXT BLD computer for 2 years now and I started noticing my case lights are going bland. I have LEDs on my ram and motherboard and they look correct.

I have tried going through each color in turn in CAM and the blues are a tad dark.

A quick web search seems to indicate my cooler might be going bad but that doesn’t make sense because ALL of the NZXT lights are doing this. I think it might be the case controller. Does this make sense?

I have tried removing other RGB apps to see if anything was interfering but no change was observed.

That's what you expect from usage-related wear. If they've all displayed the same colours for the same time, and they're the same type of LED, each LED will wear the same, but the different colours can definitely wear differently.

One option to prove whether it's the controller or the LEDs is to connect up an unused new NZXT RGB item - something like a fan.
