Xbox Series X overheating during long gaming sessions

if you're not getting messages saying you're overheating, it's not overheating. High-end electronics get hot overtime with use, this is natural and normal. A normal operating temperature for a GPU is 80 C/175F

Games have random performance issues especially if you're playing online, once again this is normal

all high-end electronics and computers get hot. This is perfectly normal. If you hear increased sounds because the fan sped up once again this is perfectly normal. Unless you see a message where it says it's overheating it's not overheating

do not use any kind of external cooling device, they can actually interfere with cooling by disrupting the static pressure

I see that you have a question about your console overheating.

Hello, Lois Nickey.

We appreciate you posting in Microsoft Community.



It has come to my attention that you are experiencing an overheating issue with your Xbox Series X.

I'm glad to have the opportunity to give you some advice.



First of all I would like to explain this for you, from a hardware perspective the Xbox console has a tighter hardware arrangement and the Xbox will be warmer under high loads for extended periods of time as opposed to some of the desktop PCs that have a more developed and aggressive cooling strategy.



Normally as long as the heat doesn't affect performance or use you don't have to worry about it, but performance issues do happen.

You are actually doing very well, clean dust and good ventilation are very much the right options.



Then you need to take this console to the official for repair to check the problem.

As far as I know, there are indeed a lot of three-party platforms on the market selling auxiliary cooling components or modifications, which may be able to solve the problem, but we don't guarantee their stability and reliability, and if you choose them, you need to be responsible for the possible problems that may follow on your own.

Attached is a link to instructions for obtaining repair service for your Xbox:

Usually when there is overheating the console emits a message informing before turning off.

Try connecting the Xbox to another outlet with a ventilated location to check if the same problem occurs.

Make a factory reset keeping your games and apps, following this tutorial;
