NZXT Sentry 3 automatic control

[MinobeHoshiko]

Sentry 3 has three fan modes: performance, manual and quiet.

 

Quiet & Performance mode both start at 50% speed and adjust upwards based on the temperature probe. What temperature does it hit 100%. Can the range be adjusted or is it factory hard set?

It seems to increase fan speeds by 10% from 40% for every 3c from 30c. From that observtation, it probably reaches 100% at 48c.

The range shouldn't be flexible for Quiet mode but that's what Custom profile are for.

What do you mean by custom profile? You can set custom fan curves for automatic adjustments with the Sentry3?

It's not as granular as a curve but you should be able to set custom temperature thresholds.

Nice going with following up with results.

The two rows are for Quiet and Performance mode.
