Hypothermia not working with RF

It does not even show it on RF icon.

Bump. This is a serious issue. Hypothermia's tooltip does not mention anything about type of damage MORE modifier is apllied to, just condition of target being chilled.
The DPS gain with hypothermia cannot be showed anyway, the game doesn't show the damage dealt to one ennemy (like if the ennemy has a resistance...). I don't have the gem under my eyes but it's possible that the bonus is applied only on hit effects.
No, it is generic bonus. It does not show letter of the gem on icon, not dps bonus.
Also does not work with PA and SB. Degens in general.
It is strange that this effect do not work with RF. It can be intended, but wording on the gem is inaccurate so, as it does not state any special conditions other than chilled enemy.
Bump. Really hoping for clarification hypo now working with degens either a bug or intended feature.
Bump? :(
RF has always been a weirdo when it comes to support gems. It's obviously doing fire damage, but yet it's not. The Fire Penetration support does nothing for it. Unless the support has quality, in which case you get the increased damage it gives. So it's dealing fire damage, because it benefits from increased fire damage, but yet it's not fire damage, because it can't penetrate fire resistance, but yet it is fire damage because it is mitigated by enemy fire resistance...

That's not the point.
It IS fire damage, the "problem" (which it isn't) is that RF doesn't HIT, which is required by Fire Penetration to actually work; RF is a "degen" damage.

You can read about such interactions in game mechanics thread, "skill discussion" threads for each gem and at fan-made Poe-Wikipedia.
Remember, suffering is convenient.
That is why many people prefer it.
