Hi!
I've been annoyed with the fan in my Rigol DS1054z oscilloscope for the last two years, and finally decided to replace it with a more silent one.
I read a bunch of threads and watched a lot of videos on youtube about relating 1000z fan replacement and I went for what I believe is the most common replacement; the
Gelid Silent 5.
After assembling the scope again I was first amazed by how silent it had become; it's like there's no fan in there!
Then I started worrying abut the air flow. The airflow with the new Gelid fan in noticeably less compared to the stock
Sunon ME50151V3-000C-A99, but I haven't used the scope with the new fan long enough to see the long term effects of this.
Have any on you guys replaced the fan in your Rigol DS1000z?
What type of fan did you use?
Does the scope gets noticeably hotter when its been turned on for a while?
Have you seen any long term effects of this (having to replace the PSU caps etc.)?
