Very well-priced, Simple to use, Straightforward installation, High-quality build,
Limited to 4W per fan channel, Awkward viewing angles.
The installation was pretty simple enough. You have to have 2 free 5 ¼ drive bays and some simple patience to run a bunch of wires. The included tape will allow you to attach a thermal probe near every fan that you are running with the controller. Pop...
Large, bright display, Intuitive interface, Auto / Manual modes, Programmable Temperature Alarms, Classic, professional styling,
Limited vertical field of view
The Sentry LX High Performance Fan Controller was a really fun product to review. It fit comfortably in the top two bays of my NZXT Khaos case, and was easy to install. I liked the fact that the unit supports five fans and five temperature sensors, (ma...

NZXT Sentry LX Review Posted by CB Droege Monday, Jan 26th, 2009 at 3:11 pm in Reviews Operation Kicking it on was a pleasant surprise. The LCD is more colorful and attractive than the photos can really show; when viewed directly, it is clean, stark an...
Great build quality, Bright display, Individual control of five fans, Auto or Manual setting for fans, Five thermal diodes attached, Two replacement diodes included, Battery included, to store settings when PC is off, Ability to completely turn off indivi...
Pricey, Reset button too easy to press, Takes up two 5.25 inch bays, Only available in black, Moving parts of the display may be distracting, No PC interface via USB for example
The NZXT Sentry LX may not be cheap. At almost 60 € or 70 US Dollars, it costs as much as some computer cases out there. This means you can expect a lot from the unit as there are plenty of other, similar devices out there, at cheaper price points. T...

Independently reports temperature and power consumption, Easy to use and looks sweet, Able to detect if a fan is not working or plugged in, Comes with a PWM 4pin connector
viewing angleCVS bracket could get mistaken for a USB port
The ZM-MFC2 is a step up from standard fan controls with knobs for each fan and is surely better looking. It provides a very bright display to show off to friends, all while giving you some very useful information. We didnt have a Kill-A-Watt handy ...

In the end, the NZXT Sentry LX has proven to be an excellent fan controller. The results were accurate, the user interface was intuitive, and the design was flawless. At $69, the Sentry LX isnt too expensive, but is definitely worth the money. Just a...
