[sdiy] rigol scope fan noise!!

[dan snazelle]

alright maybe i will try replacing the fan

its kind of funny what a loud fan it has for the board it has inside.

i was mainly just wondering if anyone else found a way to quiet these scopes down as over time it has gotten louder and louder.


thanks
