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...
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 ...
Can add a good deal of functionality to about any PC, Control up to 5 fans, Monitor up to 5 temperatures, Looks great, Low cost
Manual isn't very useful, Cable management could take some time
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...
