When we power up the PC with the Sentry 2 installed, we really get to see where it shines. The touchscreen display is sharp and colorful, while not overly bright like a lot of lit accessories. It really draws the eye, and the button-less face really...
Abstract: A few months ago we reviewed the NZXT Sentry LX Fan Controller, and I was pretty impressed by it. However the LCD screen wasn’t the greatest and when viewing it at certain angles you couldn’t really make out what was displayed. So when I heard about th...
Very easy to use, Well made, Small size, Looks great
Tap isn’t very sticky
The NZXT Sentry 2 5.25″ Touch Screen Fan Controller is one of the nicest fan controllers I’ve had the chance to review. It’s small in size and very easy to install and use. If you’re limited to space as I am with my case, then you&...
Automatic and Manual modes, Easy and quick to install, Supports five temp probes and controls five fans, Extra thermal probes included, For $30 - its great value
No support for 4-pin PWM fans, Plastic looks a little cheap - not classy like the Sentry LX
Touch screen!, 5 fan connectors, 5 temperature sensors, Manual control, Auto control, Overheat alarm, Defective fan alarm, Back light that can be shut off, Can display in both C and F...
Very poor instruction set...
The Sentry 2 is one of the coolest fan controllers Ive used, and for one main reason: its got a touch screen! The Sentry 2 is a nice little treat to add to your system. Along with looking really cool, youll be able to silence those noisy fans when ...

With the controller plugged in and running, it lights up like Christmas! A subtle blend of blues, orangy-yellows and reds tell you the average temperature, the fan voltage percentage and of course the spinning fan graphic off to one side. From her...

Abstract: The first thing you will notice about the Sentry 2 Touch Screen fan controller is its efficient size. The previous controller model by NZXT, the LX, took up two full, standard 5.25-inch bays in your case. Somehow, the company has found a way to cram even ...
There were 2 problems with this peripheral. The most obvious one I've already pointed out: Cable management. There are 10 cables alone for plugging in your fans, and then there's also the main power cable as well as some additional ones for whatever p...
Flat bezel with no protruding elements, [] Great value, [] Manual and automatic fan control modes, [] Minimal use of packing material, [] Responsive and intuitive interface, [] Sleek and modern design, [] Support for five fans with temperature diodes and...
Absence of a manual on how to operate the device in packaging, [] Inability to configure fan speed between 0 to 40%, [] No fan RPM readings, [] Single large and nonstandard connector for power cables
In all, the NZXT Sentry 2 packs a decent amount of features that make it a good fan controller: support for five case fans, 10W per channel, five temperature diodes, manual and automatic control modes, and an alarm.Nevertheless, the major feature that...
Pantalla táctil, Pantalla visible de todos los ángulos, Sondas térmicas, Sondas de repuesto incluidas, Sonido al tacto y desactivación del mismo, Encendido y apagado de la pantalla, Animación según velocidad, Estética, Calidad de materiales, Tamaño, Practicidad al uso
Stickers poco eficaces, Sondas pegadas a la placa de manera precaria, Modo general, seria una muy buena opción tener algunos canales en Automático y otros en Manual por ej, Velocidad minima 40%, Arranque en modo Manual con velocidad almacenada menor al 100%, Debería traer un solo tipo de conectores, sea de 3 o 4 pines y luego incluir adaptadores para cada fan por si se necesita, esto haría que no tengamos tantos cables sueltos y desordenados dentro del gabinete
Su uso es simple al igual que su instalación, prácticamente no se necesitan manuales ni conocimientos técnicos, aun así NZXT incluye explicaciones muy bien detallas en varios idiomas. Tal vez la tarea mas tediosa sea lograr acomodar las sondas térmicas de...
