  • I won’t make a comparison in this conclusion because my goal was to describe each fan controller to you so that you could make an informed choice. Here are just some basic facts: if you want only to control your fans, you can take a Scythe Kaze Q-8, L...

  • Touch screen, 5 fan controller, 5 temperature monitor, Overheat alarm, Both auto or manual modes, Support for nearly all fan models out there, Easily read screen,
  • No included touch screen manual, gold
  • Out of the box everything worked and ran great. Installation was simple but the lack of a manual made setup a bit of an issue. I had zero issues with the Sentry 2 in my case or with anything in my system. I am not a neat freak with cables in my system ...

  • I want to thank NZXT for sending out the Sentry II for us to play with. Current prices run at $29.99, making this a very inexpensive upgrade. An upgrade that will provide you with piece of mind since you can verify your fans are working and what the...

  • Almost a year ago, I reviewed the NZXT Sentry LX, and found it useful, but lacking in a few key areas. This week, I’m taking a look at the NZXT Sentry 2, and it’s obvious that NZXT was listening. Not only has almost every feature of the original Sentry...

  • As we have been able to see for ourselves, the touch screen really does make things easier to control that one might even think. Despite the fact that the manual is definitely not on our list of our favorite instruction books, the Sentry really is so ...

  • I have always been impressed with the ingenuity and elegance behind NZXT products, and the Sentry 2 fan control panel does not disappoint. With such a simple design, and an equally simple user interface, the Sentry 2 can add much needed functionality ...

  • Simple packaging and quality material provide for easy unpacking and installation. The controller is well protected to ensure that it looks its best when installed. The five fan capacity is a definate plus, with most controllers having only capacity fo...

  • Fan controllers are a godsend in these days of high heat hardware and multiple cooling fans. They allow us to have the perfect blend between cooling performance and noise, whilst still providing the ability to move towards either end of the quiet/perform...

  • I tested the NZXT Sentry 2 with a load of five fans. Three were 120mm NZXT and the other two were power hungry 120mm apevias. At a full load the Sentry 2 never stumbled. After 4 weeks of using the Sentry 2 I am happy to report that there has not been a...

  • The Sentry 2 does a fantastic job in half the size and half the price of the Sentry LX and throws in a touch screen for good measure. This fan controller is great for a minimalist feel on any case, with the lack of any visible buttons. The ease of ...
