So I have a silverstone TD02-E and it looks/performs great. Couldn't be happier but I at the moment have no control over the fan speed so it's at a constant 2500. I ordered an NZXT Fan sentry LCD but was it the right choice? Is there a better alternitive?

The spec sheet for the SIlverstone TD02-E says "Dual auto adjustable 120mm PWM fans included" - why does PWM fan control not work?

PWM fan control is sensitive to the temperature in the cooling loop and will auto-adjust as the lop gets hotter. If you connect those fans to Molex, then they don't have that capability. Hence they run at full speed.

The manual also tells you to "Connect the waterblock and fan connectors onto the relevant motherboard connectors, installation complete."

That is the better alternative.

I have terrible observation. Whoopsy. I suppose I can use the Fan Sentry for the case fans (it looks pretty cool tbh. Also the EK Vardar fans seemed too big to be put on, is there any soloution for that at all?:)
