  • Bottom line we were impressed of the quality and the external aspect of the new Sentry LXE considering the price tag. A Large Touch screen LCD display with a solid chassis bundled with lots of features. Easy to install and a plethora of options for tem...

  • When the NZXT Sentry LXE arrived I was skeptical of the design and even though I could see the practical benefits of it, I was not overly impressed. My opinion on the LXE quickly changed once I found myself using the controller on a daily basis. This i...

  • Large External Touchscreen, 5 fan controller, 5 temperature monitor, Customizable overheat alarm, Quick change auto/manual mode, All controls on one screen,
  • PCI card did not feel secure, Only support for 3 pin fans, gold
  • Taking the Sentry LXE out for the first time, I was impressed at the external touchscreens design. I've seen and used a few front bay displays and the main reason I stopped using them was because in the long run since their location was tied to the fro...

  • So far this has been quite a love-fest, and sure enough it continues. Initially I thought that an external fan controller would be yet more clutter on the desk and wondered why it couldn't be put in a drive bay like all the rest. However the moment you us...

  • Simple to set up. Easy-to-read display. Unused cables can be unplugged to reduce case clutter.
  • Difficult to use with one hand. Includes no adapters for three-pin fan connections. Fills one expansion slot.
  • The NZXT Sentry LXE lets you monitor temperatures for up to five components and control up to five fans. If you need or want this much one-touch control, the Sentry LXE more than does the job, but it will require some extra desk space and patience to ...

  • The NZXT Sentry LXE is a niche device to say the least - not many people are going to want, let along need, an external fan controller.  The interface was nice and installation was easy but after having been used to capacitive screens for so long on phone...

  • The NZXT Sentry LXE does its job controlling fans and it monitors the temperature inside the computer case quite well, it just falls short by sliding around the desk, and the touch zones are too close together. ...

  • Once again, NZXT has pulled another rabbit out of the hat. With a MSRP of $59.99US, I cannot find another option if you are in the market for a robust fan controller. The overall versatility is unmatched by anything else out there and the best part is...
