  • No four pin connector for PWM fans.
  • Over all I found that the NZXT Sentry 2 LCD Touch Screen Fan Controller is a good little unit. With the option of connecting up to five fans is that little extra that I found useful while testing some cases especially since most cases lately have one f...
