Introduction

Here at XSR we’ve reviewed a lot of fans and talked endlessly about the importance of cooling and so on and so forth. However we seem to have neglected in the most part the role of the fan speed controller. In this age of HTPC, where silence is paramount, a fan speed controller is a very good idea. However can a controller compete with small programs that run in the back ground, a growing number of automatically variated fans or even motherboards that control everything automatically? I plan to find out by testing one such product, the Sentry LX from NZXT.
