Hi i have two 2600mmpro. I have some issues with one of them because I can’t reach the temperature I’m waiting for. It gets stuck along the way, even with the cooler at 100%. Example: with 20º in my backyard is not possible reach to -10 and if i want to -5º the cooler gets high to 85 or 90%. Is there any problem with the camera? maybe the fan?
