With 10W per channel those fans will not cause an issue. One thing to think about is that the fan controller will never run at 12V due to a bit of loss in the circuitry. I usually see 11.4V to 11.7V through most controllers, so it will effect the top RPM the fans can run, but not by a whole bunch!

But i have been seeing lot of fans that are incompatible with sentry 2 that if the fan is set to 100% the rpm will fluctuate that it will speed up and slows downs and will speed up again and so on.

Did not have that issue with the one I had. Ran multiple fans brands on it as well and cannot recall a similar issue.

So whats your maximum watt that you have tried in one channel?

And nzxt sentry 2 can control a fan with molex connector right?

Don't recall the exact voltage, but I will say I do remember a wiring mess.
Personally I would go with the Sentry 3, more power, and cleaner to install.

It is not available in my country and I need a 4 pin molex connector to power scythe gentle typhoon 4250rpm

nzxt sentry 2 can't control scythe gentle typhoon

So I plug the fan to sentry and switch to manual mode 100% fan speed

it run 4250 rpm then slows down to 3000 rpm then go up again to 4250 then 0 rpm
