Fitting a Fan controller

Can anyone explain roughly how easy it is to fit a Nzxt sentry 2 fan controller into my computer, i'm looking to add one of these but want some advice from the experts first. Where would be the best place to add the 5 temperature probes for example, also are the fans easy to connect to the controller.
I'm not very technical so the easier you explain it the better

.....I'll show great restraint here and say nothing! :whistling:

Don't know sorry, but atleast your post gets a little bump from me.

Pretty easy, just take a front mesh out and slide it in. In terms of temp probes I bought bitspower ones for my WC loop so I didnt use probes taht come with it so I wouldnt really know where's the best place to but them, but atleast one for CPU?

Turn pc off, remove all cables and power cables from pc, take side panels off, take off the mesh on the drive bay you want to use, slide in the controller, screw it into place, find the fan cables, plug them into the fan controller, tidy the cables with cableties, replace side panels and cables, turn back on

Not sure about temp probes, but I'd have thought on your HDD, GPU, CPU? Not 100% sure. Also, I'd recommend you get an anti-static wrist band to cover you incase of any static your body has don't want to fry your pc! You'll probably also have to plug in a molex, so just find a spare one from your pc and plug the one in from the fan controller really simple, jobs a good'un!

& yes one on the GPU would seem like a clever idea, maybe one near HDD's and one near exhaut fan to get a rough idea of your exhaust temps?
