NZXT Sentry 2 with AsRock 970 Extreme 4

[Rams Anirudh]

I want to know if my mother board is compatible with NZXT Sentry 2 fan controller. I also want to know if it will control different types of fans or should all case fans be the same?

My Case is Cooler Master HAF 912
I have 3 Cooler master 120mm (1x front, 1x back, 1x side) case fans.
I am going to add 2 more 120mm fans top, I am planning to get Corsair AF120, if SP120 can be installed I am okay with that also.
But my main concern is will the fan controller do its job I have different types of fans installed in my tower.

Thank you

This has nothing to do with your motherboard.According to this review is it powered by the psu.It also has connectors for fans powered via a three pin connector or by molex connector.In totall can 5 fans be controlled.

Thanks, how about the 2nd question. Can I control different types of fans or should it be the same ?

You could control fans which are connected via 3pin or 4 pin molex if that's what you mean.You can't control 4pin pwm fans.It's in that review.
You could control different sizes of fans if that's what you mean.

I did not mean the sizes though, but still thanks for that info. I meant different models of fan, like I said I have 3 CM fans and I am planning to add 3 Corsair fans. I would not control the side fan anyways. I would like to control the top 2, back 1 and front 2. But my question is, will it be effective if I have different fans or should I use same fan (all 5 CM or all 5 Corsair) to get a better control.

Brand doesn't matter.They are controlled individually.

Well, that answers my question. Getting AF120 is good option or do you suggest a different fan? I can go with Noctua also. I am adding 2 fans to top of my case (exhaust) and 1 in front (intake).

I'm not that into fans,both options are good afaik,but read some reviews for a better judgement.
