Xbox series x loud fan when turning on

So, I recently noticed that my Xbox Series X fan runs loud when playing Series X|S / Optimised for Series X|S games specifically.

It’s quite strange as it’s dead quiet every other time, but as soon as I start a Series X|S game, the fan becomes so loud that I need to turn up the tv volume.. it’s quite distracting.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions?

FYI - My Series X is a pre-order/launch day model.. and it sits in an open and well ventilated tv/entertainment stand*

In comparison, I owned an Xbox One S for three years and I never heard the fan on that.

I’m having the exact same problem now. The only time my Xbox sounds loud is when running series x enhanced games, it’s completely fine on old gen games. Have you had this issue fixed or is it still a problem now?

My console hasn’t had any performance problems and it’s a little hot on the sides but it’s the normal temperature of hot I wonder if it’s from my room being a little to hot last night or maybe I played for a long time and it didn’t have time to cool down. It’s literally brand new I bought it a month ago.

Hi there ShinyNut, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

Personally, I have an Xbox Series X console, and that has never happened to me. Whenever I turn on the console, even after it has been off for a long time, I hear the normal sound of the fan. I don't think what's happening with your console is normal because there's no reason for the fan to speed up so much when you just turn on the console; it should not be hot. So if this continues to happen frequently, I recommend using the console's warranty.

At the following link, you can create a service order for your console and make use of its warranty:

https://account.microsoft.com/devices/select-device-for-repair

If your console is not listed there, you will need to register it by clicking on the "Register device" button. Afterward, you must fill in the required information and follow the steps displayed to complete the service order process.

The thing I don’t understand is it’s only happened twice. It’s not a common issue I have and it seems to always be on a hot day. Maybe my console is just adjusting after taxing games plus the temperature in the room.

It’s just the sound of air being pushed out not like any particular noise I was just wondering if I should worry I sit not to far from it.
