I just recently built a pc and installed an NZXT Sentry-2 Fan Controller. However, when i power the system, the fans don't run and the controller will not allow me to up the speed on any of the fans. All fans are permanently stuck on 0%, they don't run on auto and the "plus" "minus" buttons do nothing when on manual. Did I receive a dud or am i missing something?
 
Solution
Try starting the fan by hand. If it starts to spin, then there just isn't enough starting current for that fan. Either way I wouldn't blame you if you return it. I ended up giving mine to my father after a month of use since he thought it was the bee's knees.
