Must have!
Comment:
This product is really an amazing buy. So cheap, so cool and it allows you to know exactly what is happening in your case up to the moment. You really get to feel in controll of all your air cooling with this baby. Automatic mode usually just switches fans towards the max if under load I usually just have it on manual while I'm around. Anyway viewing of the LCD is actually good from any side or front angle at computer desk height do not look down at it so if your computer is on your desk like mine its perfect!

GREAT HEAT CONTROL MONITOR
Comment:
I think this is the best Heat Control Monitor that I have used to date. Instructions are OK and the Heat Probes really work good and look the Case looks Fantastic on my Front Computer. I am running a Home Built, Dragon Side, Intel Quad 4 Q6600, with 4 Gig Ram, Ndivia 9600 1 Gig Ram GSO,with all the goodies.

I have used a few different fan controllers before, and this is by far the best. After hooking up all the fans and using the included thermal tape to attach the sensors to various places in my case, I put it on auto and forgot about it. Any time I'm worried about temps, they're all visible on screen at once. Manual control is simple and straight-forward. It even remembers the settings I last used in manual mode if I switch back and froth between auto and manual. My computer is much happier now.

NZXT Sentry LX LCD Fan Controller
Cons:takes two slots

Pros:Good looks, simple controls
Comment:
It looks better then expected. Great addition for my watercooling system. It takes two slots, but it is a compromise for having such a huge screen. Thinking about getting second one...

Amazing little tool. I've had no problems with this product so far, except for two of my fans not running at full speed while attached to the fan controller. I don't think this that big of a deal and I believe that it's because of the fans and not the controller. I plan on buying this for my next build as well.

totally cool, the manual overide feature is great for when i'm putting heavy load on the cpu, really cools everything down. now i know exactly how hot several areas of my computer can get and compensate with different fan speeds.

Bought this fan controller along with my Cooler Master RC-1100 Cosmos S ATX Full-Tower Case. Dark stainless steel finish matches case. Comes with temp sensors automaticly compensates for cooling or manually switch so it runs high speed. Runs Noctua fans at 1400 rpm. O:

NZXT Sentry LX LCD Fan Controller
Cons:tad Pricey

Pros:Very AttractiveFairly good angle of viewOther Functions Like clock and date.
Comment:
This thing has a very nice display to check your fan speeds. Make sure your fans are controllable before purchasing, unless you just want see that your fan is spinning. Seems to have fairly accurate fan readings all though you probably wont need all the temp probes. Im using this with my HAF 932 case and it looks like it was made to go with it. has the same brush pattern as the HAF front panel and makes the case look super sexy.

Like the first reviewer, I too installed this into the NZXT Tempest Case and it looks amazing! The automatic feature is the best part about this device. It's so easy to program and has some nice lengthy cables so I can see how it would work well for those with larger cases. The temp leads are very accurate and the unit is simply a joy to use. I'm very satisfied with the Sentry thus far. This thing makes my case look like some sort of cryogenics project XD

I bought this fan controler about a month ago when i was swaping cases from a stock HP to the NZXT airflow king. the controller looks great indeed but the only problem i have is i can not control any of my fans speeds with it. i went back in and made sure everything was hooked up correctly and sure enough, no fan control. im thinking its defective but im gana keep trying, overall if the fans controllers work it will be a great controller.

Great looking,great screen,shows?? all 3 fans? i have 5 fans. the bay size is a little taller than it should be to fit in a tool-less bay. couldn't fit where i wanted it just below usb, wi-fire ports on my HAF case. the nzxt takes up TWO bay drives and its taller then two bays by 1/8-3/16th'' i have my two optical drives just below the usb ports now and had to install my NZXT below that i also had to bend the tool less slids to fit it into bay.That is just the good stuff. after starting up the new build i could only control three fans. two minutes latter only two, and then their was non. i e-mailed NZXT,letting them know everything i had in the build and what i had done, they e-mail back SEVERAL DAYS LATTER with do you have 3pin on fans. i e-mailed back letting them know yes and its defective. 5 DAYS LATTER i call. I must mail it back and wait for the replacement. i understand that part just very poor response from NZXT.

Cons:none

Pros:Quality aluminium face plate
Comment:
This unit not only looks great but if you run 10 fans like me it helps keep an eye on them. The Led display is well designed and looks like it should be on the Starship Entereprise.

Pros:Looks very cool, easy to use and install

I was looking to add some "wow" factor for a friend computer. Well let me say that while I'm not a fan on these kind of gadget it looks absolutely cool on his computer on an Antec Case.

NZXT Sentry LX LCD Fan Controller
Cons:panel hard to see at angles. price

Pros:great looking, well built, many functions
Comment:
I have bought many fan controllers and this is one of my favorites. Controls 5 non pvm fans from off to max fan rpm. Has time,day,date which is saved with battery. Some controller led's are so bright you can't look at them but this is just right.The only problem is the viewing angle. Straight on it is clear but is hard to read at different angles. Fans can be controlled automatically by temp sensing (which also can be adjusted) which is kinda cool but i leave it on manual. Temps can be in Cel or Far.

NZXT Sentry LX LCD Fan Controller
Cons:The clock and date display isnt very sharpNo on/off button for the display

Pros:Looks really goodWell Made
Comment:
I saw this on every other ad in computer magazines and had to have it... im not disappointed, it looks amazing in my Antec 1200 case. The fan controllers and temp guages look fantastic, but the Date/Time on the left looks kind of crappy to be honest. Its alarm clock style numbers and unless your looking right at it, it looks distorted and hard to read. Its nice and bright too... I wish there was a button to turn the display off, sometimes i dont want that blue glow, but thats a minor issue. The quality is top notch, it fit perfectly in the case, nice and snug... overall im very happy with it.

NZXT Sentry LX LCD Fan Controller
Cons:The 4-pin power connector is in poor quality. The 4 metal pins are very loose and it took me quite a while to get them in proper positions and plug into my Corsair PSU 4-pin connector.

Pros:The display panel is in high quality and looks great.Controls up to five fans and displays five temperatures.Has both auto and manual mode, can shut down a fan completely.It's digital operation and the fan speed is very precise. And it remembers your settings by using a button battery (included).
Comment:
The display panel is in very high quality and looks great. It can control up to five fans and display five temperatures at the same time. Both auto and manual modes are provided, and you can shut down a fan completely if you want. This is one of the best fan controllers available yet it's one of the most expensive.My only complain is that the 4-pin power connector is in poor quality. The 4 metal pins are very loose and can't slide into the four holes at the same time. It took me quite a while (more than 10 tries) to get them in proper positions and plugged into my Corsair PSU 4-pin connector. If not for this minor flaw I would have given it five stars.
