NZXT Sentry 3 Fan Controller Review

Closer Look

NZXT wasn’t kidding when they said this thing had a large screen. At 5.4″ it uses up almost the entire front panel.

Around back we get a look at the nitty gritty. There are 5 fan headers, one for each channel. The cables can be removed to reduce clutter if you don’t need all 5. In between the fan cables is a temperature probe and molex power plug.

Each channel has one plug, though with up to 15 watts per channel you can easily plug a splitter in and power multiple fans from one channel. The small gold prong seen there is the temperature probe. The manual recommends sticking it on the edge of the processor underneath the socket clamp but it can be put anywhere you want to keep track of temps.

Aside from the controller itself you also get two extra temp probes (though only one can be used at a time), tape to hold the probe down, zipties and screws, and a user guide.
