I've had my 2600mm for several years now and the cooler doesn't seem to be working as well as it used to. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced a degradation in the cooling ability of their 2600mm. I have a 2600mc that is a few years newer that I use as well and it seems to cool just fine.
How well is your cooler working?

I had problems with my 2600MM Pro after having it at my cabin on vacation. After that it wouldn’t cool more than a 10C delta.
I could hear the fan spinning but didn’t feel much airflow. Opened it up to find a mass of dead mosquitos. Blew it out with compressed air and was back to a 40C delta.

Thanks @Carl Brown , I have had mine in the backyard observatory for quite a while. But I keep the scope covered when not in use. I looked into the fins with a flashlight and did not see any obstructions but I guess it's worth a closer inspection.
I have had my ZWO ASI2600 OSC for years and have not had any problems with cooling. I keep mine in an enclosed observatory.
I did have two occasions where the thermal grease leaked onto the sensor. I cleaned the sensor with no problems.

[pre]Hello, good afternoon. I have a ZWO2600MM, and my question, which I get asked a lot, is: could anyone lower the camera offset to 30, which is what the histogram shows? These cameras come with a 100gain/50gain offset from the factory, but I've also read that they can be used for more. If anyone knows, I'd appreciate it in advance.

I have both a WO ASI2600 color and a ZWO ASI2600 mono. The color version I have owned for a few years and the mono less than ayear.
I have not noticed any degradation on cooling capability.

I run my 2600mm and mc cameras at Gain 100, Offset 15 for everything after watching a video from Cuiv the Lazy Geek discussing Offset.

Thanks for your reply, I'll look for the best one for my camera so I don't clip the pixels.
