The NZXT Sentry Mix is packaged in a small cardboard shell. The front of the box features a picture of the Sentry Mix and a few of its features while the back of the box has a more detailed list of features and product specifications.
Once we remove the protective outer shell we are greeted by a Pink plastic bag.
Inside the plastic bag we have the Sentry Mix and a pouch containing 4 black mounting screws. Also included is a step by step manual just incase you need assistance installing the Sentry Mix.
I gotta say, I never understood the need for these. Just never got the whole ‘fan controller thing. I do agree with reviewers comments on fan speed. who needs a readout for that? its surely all based on noise
Looks ok, not something I would be rushing out to buy either.
Not really my cup of tea looks wise. Generally, if I want a fan controller, I put inside my case or I just get a case for the build that has a built in fan controller. Both my Antec DF and NZXT Phantom have built in fan controllers. Perhaps some people like these. I had a NZXT Sentry LX that I used for a bit but that was mostly for the temperature readouts. I didn’t use it for very long before I sold it for some seperately controlled fans.
I almost feel like, most of the time, you set all the fans to the speed where you balance cooling and noise and then never touch it again.
