NZXT Sentry Mesh

Zitat: Für einen kleinen Praxistest schließen wir einen Be quiet Silent Wings USC an mehreren Anschlüssen an und zücken das Multimeter: Die NZXT Sentry Mesh liefert zwischen 4,80 und 12,09 Volt, messbare Unterschiede zwischen den einzelnen Anschlüssen gibt es nicht. Damit lässt sich der verwendete Lüfter von etwas über 1.500 U/min auf flüsterleise 600 U/min absenken.

Zitat: To each his own when it comes to fan controllers: some like them with loads of LED lighting to display all the necessary information, where others like things plain and simple with just the necessary fan control. I personally fall in the crowd of the latter. The simple look of the Sentry Mesh is also ideal with the growing trend of mesh front facial PC cases The unit is able to provide an adequate amount of power to each of the channels, offering support for fans ranging from the smallest 40mm to the larger 230mm that are popping up in the PC towers of today. The unit will not power off a fan entirely but will reduce the power to 40%, which would make most fans almost inaudible, unless you are running some of those Delta units that sound like the airliner of the same name. The user has no way of showing the fan rotation speed or system temperature, but most will realize this when buying such an item. If you need these features NZXT has the Sentry 2, LX and LXE.      

Zitat: While I really wish I would have brought you an image of the unit installed, I don´t currently have a chassis with this type of front bezel. Rather than taking a ribbing for giving you an image that just detracts from the mesh face of the Sentry, I figured I would pass it by and leave you to hunt Google for that image. I do know that if I had the Cooler Master 690II, BitFenix, or a few other manufacturers cases, this would make a great addition to those, and I didn´t even cover the Vulcan, Phantom, Panzer Box, or M59 just to name a few from NZXT. Even if the hole sizes aren´t a direct match from the other manufacturers, this leaves you a much better looking option over brushed aluminum or a solid steel face plate.
