		The Hardware Spot: 9/10 2011-11-02 | Web Link Relative to other controllers, this controller wonderful, brings a new spirit, a breathtaking design, uncompromising quality, innovation and excellence is without doubt the stronger side of NZXT.

		Pure Overclock: Pure Overclock Editor's Choice 2010-01-20 | Web Link “Seeing as how this design is the first of its kind, the $30 USD price tag is actually quite cheep considering the control, aesthetics, and number of functions you get included. There are many other dial type controllers and even some with digital displays that aren’t touch screen that can sell for over $50, so again, NZXT has set a very attractive price point here. All in all, we are impressed with the Sentry 2, and feel confident that anyone that needs control over their fans should have this on their short list of fan controllers to add to their current or future system builds.”

		Big Bruin: Big Bruin Highly Recommended, Good Value 2009-12-31 | Web Link “Searching the web finds that the NZXT Sentry 2 has a rather economical price tag... Just $30 at places like Newegg.com. Considering the features and styling, the price makes the Sentry 2 even more appealing. Because of the added value at such a low cost. the NZXT Sentry 2 fan control panel deserves the Bigbruin.com "Highly Recommended" and "Good Value" awards.”

		Lan OC: 9 / 10 2009-12-23 | Web Link “Simple packaging and quality material provide for easy unpacking and installation. The controller is well protected to ensure that it looks its best when installed. The five fan capacity is a definate plus, with most controllers having only capacity for four. The touch screen is not only intuitive but also eliminates unsightly knobs and switch sticking out of the front of your case. Auto/manual controls helps the user maximize the performance of their fans in accordance to the corresponding temperature gauges, though adjusting speeds without can be a bit of a pain. With a user friendly interface and adequate temperature controls, the Sentry 2 is certainly one of the better options on the fan controller market. And with an MSRP of $29.99, it certainly gives its competitors' a run for their money.”

		Icrontic: Icrontic Golden Fedora 2009-11-26 | Web Link “The Sentry 2 is another great product from NZXT. Not only have they improved it in almost every way, but it is now half the price of the original. This product would be useful for PC users at all levels, allowing anyone to save electricity and noise in their office, game room, or home theatre, while making a stylish addition to the case. If you didn’t pick up the Sentry LX because it was too clunky, then this is the product for you. If you did pick-up the LX, then your upgrade is ready. I’m pleased award the Sentry 2 our highest recommendation, Icrontic’s Golden Fedora.”

		Vortez Hardware: Vortez Hardware Silver 2009-11-29 | Web Link "Weighing in all of the aspects of the NZXT Sentry 2, my impression of the Sentry 2 is favourable. It looks great and it works well. Those looking for a fan controller with a sleek and modern look should definitely consider the Sentry 2. At a modest price of approximately $30, the NZXT Sentry 2 packs a good amount of value."

		The Best Case Scenario: 5/5 2009-11-18 | Web Link “I tested the NZXT Sentry 2 with a load of five fans. Three were 120mm NZXT and the other two were power hungry 120mm apevias. At a full load the Sentry 2 never stumbled. After 4 weeks of using the Sentry 2 I am happy to report that there has not been a single issue. The build quality of this fan controller is above that of every other fan controller on the market that I have had my hands on. The bezel is plastic but is not flimsy what so ever and the screen is viewable at all but the most extreme of angles. Since I have yet to find a single flaw in the Sentry 2 I am giving it a TBCS Recommended rating of 5/5.”

		Club Overclocker: 4.5 2009-11-12 | Web Link “The Sentry 2 does a fantastic job in half the size and half the price of the Sentry LX and throws in a touch screen for good measure. This fan controller is great for a minimalist feel on any case, with the lack of any visible buttons. The ease of installation and setup with automatic and manual fan settings allows for minimum downtime. The two minor drawbacks to this fan controller are the lack of RPM display and the plastic construction. However, this minor drawback should not overshadow what this fan controller can do for you. NZXT does it again and makes another fan controller I can easily recommend.”

		RB Mods: 2009-11-12 | Web Link “NZXT's Sentry 2 has a responsive touchscreen and intuitive UI. The feedback based system operates well, and it is easy to use and get the hang of. Overall, the Sentry 2 is a great unit.”

		Bona Fide Reviews: Bona Fide Reviews Great Product 2009-11-08 | Web Link “The NZXT Sentry 2 is the best fan controller on the market today, it’s very easy to use, it’s well made, it looks great and it only takes up on 5.25” bay. I actually have two of these now, one in my main system that’s been in there for a few months now actually, I like this product very much and can easily recommend it to any and every one looking for a great fan controller.”

		Overclockers HQ: Overclockers HQ Editors Choice 2009-10-28 | Web Link “Over all I found that the NZXT Sentry 2 LCD Touch Screen Fan Controller is a good little unit. So far I have tested three fan controllers each with different features, but for this one to come out of nowhere, let me control five fans and still have the lowest cost is amazing.”

		TweakTown: TweakTown 88% 2009-10-26 | Web Link Truly this is a nifty fan controller, with everything you would realistically need it to do and no extraneous features to clutter things up. If you have a case with a number of fans you need to control, you should look no further than the NZXT. It really does the job well; despite its plastic bezel and being only available in black. (Black is in this year anyway!)

		Hard-h2o: Hard-h2o Recomendado 2009-09-23 | Web Link Aunque el controlador no traiga ningún tipo de instrucciones, el manejo del Sentry 2 se realiza de una manera rápida; al disponer de los indicadores en pantalla, nos haremos con su funcionamiento en unos minutos. Habiendo probado distintos tipos de ventiladores, podemos decir que no existirán incompatibilidades con los diferentes modelos que hay en el mercado, aunque los modelos “full-range” (funcionamiento de 0 a 12 V) no puedan usarse por debajo del 40%.La pantalla es totalmente clara y la respuesta al tacto es inmediata, pudiendo alternar rápidamente de un ventilador-sonda a otro.

		Xtreme Systems: Xtreme Systems Platinum Award 2009-09-29 | Web Link I have reviewed many products in the last year, and I must say that this is a first. I give the Sentry 2 a perfect score in all categories. If you have a hi-performance gaming machine with several case fans, YOU MUST GET THIS PRODUCT! I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to take direct control of your case temperature issues. Also, I would encourage you to install extra fans if you are having temperature issues and make sure to add this product to manage those fan additions. As many of you know, heat is your pc’s worst enemy. Beat the heat with the Sentry 2 from NZXT!

		Think Computers: 9/10 2009-10-02 | Web Link “Overall the NZXT Sentry 2 is an improvement to the original Sentry controller. It brings a lot more color and functionality than the original. It's very easy to use and it works just like it's supposed to. It does all this in just a single 5.25" bay, rather than consuming two drive bays like other touch screen controllers. The NZXT Sentry 2 can be found online for about $29.99 and I believe this is a reasonable price considering the features of the controller. Overall Think Computers would like to award the NZXT Sentry 2 a 9 out of 10 score.”

		Techgage: 9/10 2009-09-01 | Web Link “The Sentry 2 is a big leap over any other currently available fan controller in both features and design. Even the mighty Panaflo and Vantec Tornados are no match. I have no qualms giving the Sentry 2 a solid 9 out of 10 rating. Build quality is excellent and functionality is quite possibly the best to have come across my desk in regards to a fan controller. Everything works as it should and we are given a wide range of choices as to how the fans are run in the system. It is very effective in both noise reduction as well as temperature reduction depending on which mode is of the most concern to the user. With a current retail price of $34.99US (Newegg.com) the value per dollar is outstanding. If you want maximum flexibility in your cooling, this is definitely a must have product.”

		Overclockers.com: 2009-08-31 | Web Link “The Sentry 2 is a neat little product. The idea of using a touch screen was great and the implementation is excellent. Not only is the Sentry 2 bright and easy to read, but control is very responsive and each press on the screen emits an audible beep to confirm that your input is recognized. I like that NZXT thought to include 4-pin MOLEX connections for the fans as well, but I wish they had made them modular somehow to help combat cable clutter. It’s also nice that you can turn the display off, should you be sleeping in the same room and want to keep your computer on. Finally the best part about the Sentry 2 is that it costs about as much as a normal non-touchscreen fan controller. At the time of writing, the Sentry 2 can be had on Newegg for $35 US, a very reasonable price indeed.”

		Benchmark Reviews: 8.95 / 10 2009-08-20 | Web Link “Functionally speaking the Sentry 2 has been easy to operate and has been absolutely smooth and responsive. Currently available at NewEgg for $29.99 I feel you get a solid deal. Much more affordable than many fan controllers, throw in the touchscreen and intuitive and reliable operation I feel it's a pretty decent value for your dollar. Given the relative short amount of time I've had with the Sentry 2 it has been a pleasure. I can easily recommend this to anyone wanting easy operation and control of your case fans.

		Hardware Secrets: Hardware Secrets Silver Award 2009-08-20 | Web Link “NZXY Sentry 2 is a good fan controller. Its strong points are the presence of five temperature sensors and the capacity of controlling five fans, in manual or automatic modes. The high temperature and stopped fan alarms are also very useful. Sentry 2, however, is a very useful piece of harware, doing fine the job it was designed to. And better of all, it is very inexpensive, providing a terrific cost/benefit ratio.”

		Bjorn 3D: 8/10 2009-08-14 | Web Link “Fan controllers have become just as unique as our computers. NZXT has added some of the best attributes of fan controllers into one simple easy to use unit. The Sentry 2 is easy to use, has a bright & large enough of a display to read our temperatures quickly and effortlessly. Switching from one temperature/fan control mode to another is as easy as counting 1,2,3.”

		Neoseeker: Neoseeker Recommended 2009-08-05 | Web Link “Overall, the NZXT Sentry 2 is a great fan controller. Having used the previous model, the Sentry 1, this second iteration is miles ahead in every aspect. It can control and monitor more, and it works and looks better. If you're in the market for a powerful and affordable fan controller, the NZXT Sentry 2 should be on top of your short list.”

		Techware Labs: Techware Labs Awesome Hardware 2009-08-02 | Web Link “Overall, I’d say the NZXT Sentry 2 is definitely a great fan controller. The touch screen interface is very easy to use and requires very little pressure…Like the Sentry LX, I’d like to award the Sentry 2 the TechwareLabs Awesome Hardware Award because it really deserves it.”

		BCC Hardware: 9/10 2009-07-29 | Web Link Sentry 2 gets the job done and does it very well. It has almost the same feature set and costs about half the price. For $30 you really can't go wrong with this controller.

		OverClock Intelligence Agency: OverClock Intelligence Agency Gold Approved 2009-07-27 | Web Link The functionality of the NZXT Sentry 2 is undeniable. The touchscreen controls are quick and accurate, and having five temperature probes at your disposal is a handy tool for the overclocker with degrees on his/her mind. Overall, the Sentry 2 earns praise for it's eye catching sleek form and display, and high marks for making itself an essential part of any serious overclocker's rig… the NZXT Sentry 2 earns it's weight in gold!

		Hardware Geeks: 5/5 0000-00-00 | Web Link It worked instantly and perfectly. It displayed the temperatures on the screen and the touch screen interface made it easy to configure. The Sentry 2 is a huge improvement over the Sentry LX and like the Sentry LX we award it our Kick Ass Award, but this time it gets all 5 stars instead of just 4.

		Test Freaks: 10/10 2009-07-14 | Web Link The NZXT Sentry 2 5.25″ Touch Screen Fan Controller is one of the nicest fan controllers I’ve had the chance to review. It’s small in size and very easy to install and use. If you’re limited to space as I am with my case, then you’ll very much appreciate the single 5.25″ bay design of this product. Before the NZXT Sentry 2 arrived for review I was controlling my fans with in-line resistors, this works, but doesn’t give you any real control, now I’ve got control of my fans and I can monitor temperatures as well. I can easily recommend the Sentry 2 as a must-have accessory for your PC.
