Sleek, stylish design, Functional, useful and easy to use
LCD has poor viewing angle
In terms of function, the NZXT Sentry LX is one of the best fan controllers Ive ever used. It allows unparalleled control with its ability to support 5 fans and monitor 5 temperatures. I was also very pleased with the ease of use. Even a beginner will...
Using the Sentry LX was actually a lot easier than I was expecting. The manual has all of the commands readily available and most were quite intuitive. The ability to control all of the fans at once made using the controller far less tedious than othe...

Easy installation and operation; attractive appearance; manual and automatic modes allow for as much or as little control as you wish; support for 5 fans and temperature monitors.
LCD is hard to read from any angle other than head-on; unit may not fit all cases perfectly; black color may not match all cases.

Automatic and Manual modes, Classy, Flashy and not at all tacky, Easy to install - works well with tool-less cases, Provides fan and temperature information at a glance, Date/Time feature is nice addition, Supports five temp probes and controls five fa
Takes two 5.25" bays, No support for 4-pin PWM fans
