Testing Methodology
There will be no particular test for the NZXT Sentry 2. Responsiveness and ease-of-use of the Sentry 2 will be examined, but no measurements voltages will be taken. It would be ideal if the voltages being fed to the fans by the Sentry 2 were recorded as a benchmark, but I unfortunately do not have digital multimeter on hand. Nevertheless, if you are curious to know such data, I suggest you read BCCHardware’s review on the NZXT Sentry 2:
