The Sentry name has hosted quite a few fan controllers from NZXT. From what I can recall, the Sentry 1 was pretty hip for its time. It had an LCD display and some shiny chrome buttons, but only controlled two fans. As time went on, there came the Sentry 2. This time the LCD was touch sensitive and accommodated five fans. Both of these units were made to fit a single 5.25" bay and offer users plenty of fan control behind the solid steel face plates. There was a dual bay model, the Sentry LX, and the stand alone LXE that both offered aluminum faces and large LCD displays. It seems they have all your fan cooling options covered for a clean looking fit in any case, or do they?
NZXT's Sentry LXE is a unique and well-executed product that allows the PC enthusiast a wide range of monitoring and fan control options in an attractive remote unit. The fit and finish is excellent and the functionality is first-rate with an intuitive layout incorporated into the touch screen LCD display.
Up for review today I’ve got another NZXT product, this time it’s their new Sentry LXE fan controller. It’s like no other out there today I think, this one is actually external, it has a 5” touch screen from which you make adjustments and control your fans. It’s very well made as we’ve come to expect from NZXT, and it’s fairly easy to use.
NZXT has release the Sentry LXE, a fan control and monitoring system like nothing else we have seen on the market today. Check out how the LXE LCD touch screen panel works with your system in our review.
The NZXT Sentry LXE is not your standard run-of-the-mill fan controller. Combining the ease of a touchscreen and the flexibility of having an external controller add to its appeal - and not having to bend down under the desk to change a setting is nice. The built-in clock and sleek design complete the package and will complement any work space.
OCIA.net has posted their review of the NZXT Sentry LXE Fan Controller. Below is a direct quote from the review.
We tested the NZXT Sentry LXE fan controller, which has five thermomethers and can control five fans. Check it out!
The Sentry LXE is a high performance external fan controller with touch screen LCD panel that lets you adjust your fan settings. The NZXT Sentry LXE has the ability to control up to 5 fan control fans and also displays the temperatures of specific zone, shows the time and date and even has a temperature alarm. If you have been looking for an external fan controller for your PC this might be the product you have been waiting for.
Advertised as a “high performance touch screen fan controller”, the NZXT Sentry LXE does not disappoint. Supporting up to five fans and the ability to monitor the temperature at five locations, it is a powerful device that literally puts control at your fingertips. The external touchscreen looks good and exudes a very high-tech feel. It is intuitive to use and does what it is supposed to do and does it very well. Its stylish looks are also a plus.

Cooling is a necessity for high performance gear. From the humble passive heatsink to the monstrous dual-fan tower coolers, airflow is an essential part of the process. Typically we connect fans to our devices via the motherboard, or directly to the PSU. If we're lucky, we can control the fans via software such as SpeedFan, otherwise the hum of high speed performance-orientated fans is permanent.
