Overall I really like this product and will keep it long after I finish this review. However I can’t help but feel that the humble fan controller is slightly outdated by new motherboards and even simple programs such as SpeedFan, not to mention fans...
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...
Excellent Build Quality, 5.25' LCD Display, Can Control Up To 5 Fans, Auto / Manual Setting, Comes With 5 Thermal Probes, Displays Date, Day And Time
Price (For Some), Not Touch Screen (LXE Solves That), Only Available In Black, Only Supports 3pin Fans
The NZXT Sentry LX is by far the best looking, perhaps best in all, fan controller i have ever used. Although the auto function is very useful and allows you to never pay attention to what the Sentry LX is doing i tend to like the manual mo...
During the course of this review we were overly impressed by the quality of this product considering the 60USD price range. A solid aluminum chassis construction combined with the large LCD display and satin black finish are a few of the visual highlig...
Solid construction, Beautiful appearance, Large LCD readout screen, Easy setup
Included battery was dead, Only 3 pin fan compatible as shipped, Temp probes add more work and clutter over standard fan control
The Sentry LX arrived to me double boxed. Inside was a very nice colorful and well laid out retail box. Clear glossy color photos of the Sentry LX were there as well as the list of specifications. All this was laid out in a very easy to read and unders...
To begin with I was totally impressed by the quality of the Sentry LX. NZXT could have easily made the front of the unit out of plastic and still made it look good. But they went beyond that and made it of high quality aluminum. This alone will make it...
The Sentry LX is clearly a step above the smaller single slot or floppy sized controllers. The large screen and anodized aluminum construction go a long way towards justifying the premium price. The large size makes displaying the 5 fans and tempera...
To conclude, I will repeat. I am a big fan of cooling, and anything that allows me to control the temperature, speed, and sound of my fans with such an huge and multi-use LCD screen is Christmas any day of the year to me. The ease of use with the Se...
Fan control in 100RPM increments, Attractively styled, Easy to read display, Effective fan control, Easy to operate
High price to pay for fan control, Connectors are hot melt glued in place, and some worked themselves loose, Limited viewing angle from above or below, Reset button is too easy to press by accident, Audible alarm is fairly quiet and stops after a few seconds
The NZXT Sentry LX fan controller is a capable device that makes controlling and monitoring up to five fans and temperatures rather convenient. The display is well laid out and easy to read (from the right angles), and taking control of each fan is qu...
Abstract: As our machines have become more high-powered (and, in many cases, more high-strung), it becomes of increasing importance to monitor the machines’ health. The vast majority of the time, high temperatures are the big concern, especially if you’re pushi...
