NZXT Sentry-2 5.25" Touch Screen Fan Controller

Pros: - regulates fans as advertised
- very nice display
- touch screen
- pretty accurate temps, you will need 3rd party software to make sure
- easy installation

Cons: - too many cables, should have been a option to cling the connectors together after cable management, too many wires.

Other Thoughts: def worth 20 bucks, for those who's cases have no fan controller or for those who want a nice looking front panel

Pros: 1. They are easy to install
2. LCD is good on many angle
3. Cords are long enough to hide it on the back of chassis and provide all 5 fans with power
4. Thermal reading

Cons: 1. They don't show the rpm of the fan
2. The manual can only go 40% on minimum going below than that will turn off the fan
3. You need an adapter if your fan has 4 pin

Other Thoughts: For the price it should have everything like show the rpm of the fan and it should go below 40% other than that the they work fine thermal reading is accurate if you put it on the right place

Pros: Does exactly what you expect it to do
Fans never make a single noise unless I crank them way up, then that's to be expected
Over a year and the touch screen hasn't had one single issue and still works perfectly

Cons: So many darn cables, but that's common with fan controllers

Other Thoughts: Well worth the money

Pros: Looks nice.

Cons: Too many wires.
Does not work right.
Company doesn't do RMA's in a timely manner. (I submitted my RMA two weeks ago, have not had any kind of response from the company as to the status of my RMA or even IF I will be getting a replacement)

Other Thoughts: Do NOT buy this model. Buy from a company who actually honors their RMAs! DO NOT BUY NZXT!!!

Pros: Can't say never was able to hook it up!

Cons: Could not mount in my Case, the short mounting side skirts didn't line up with tool-less mounting bracket of my Corsair 300-R Case. Case isn't a winner either, Note case only provides for screw mounting at the rear of bracket. Plastic bezel looks cheap.

Other Thoughts: Not entirely NZXT fault, but how much more would cost to provide a full length mounting skirt? If anything provides for a sturdier base when pressing buttons and fit & finish.

Pros: I love this controller. I don't have enough heads on the motherboard for all 7 fans in my case so this thing work out great. I mounted all 5 fan for to this controller and was able to manually control all 5 idivifdually or at once.

Cons: for some reaso, one of my fan would not spin unless it is at 100% power, not enough to take oen egg off.

Other Thoughts: It look cool in my case and would recommend it to whomever need a fan controller. It is cheaper here then other place.

Pros: Got a gift card for $20 from newegg after ordering a decent amount of stuff for new build. Figured I'd pick this up for cheap. Easy enough to set and install *kinda* (see Cons). Does what it is supposed to do.

Cons: Didn't quite fit in my case (Cooler Master HAF XB), but I think if I was trying to install this BEFORE everything was in my case, I could have made it fit better. As of now, it is sunken a couple of inches compared to the front of my case and cd drive. Others who are more worried about looks than I, might not find this acceptable. I think it fit flush if you have the room to mess with it without the mother board and hard drive trays in it.

Other Thoughts: I knew this was a long shot and not really a con, but I was kinda hoping it could pump my 200mm fan on the top of the case over 100%, giving it a tad bit more airflow.

I don't know if I would have paid full price for this, as I really don't need to control my fans, but I guess its nice to have the option for 4.99

Pros: Touch screen is pretty responsive. Easy to control.Auto feature works nice.
Noise can be muted cause its pretty loud.

Cons: Wires are not sleeved and long.

Other Thoughts: I recommend this. Its simple to use and set up. Fits perfectly in the bay. No problems yet.

Pros: Nice looking design. Easy to operate. Can turn display off entirely when needed.

Cons: After slowing the fans down there was a clicking or tapping or kind of buzz noise coming from the fans. It doesn't happen when the same fans are plugged into the MB power.

Also, this device only allows the fans to slowed to 40%. I returned them.
