Hot air is supposed to come out the top, that's why it's designed like a chimney

Hello!

Hope you are well. I'll be glad to assist you.

I'm sorry you're experiencing these issues.

If the console is already experiencing overheating issues, it's possible that the fans are clogged or the thermal paste needs replacing. However, that's a job for a specialized technician. The only thing you could try on your own is an external cleaning with the products Xbox recommends here, in addition to trying to use some compressed air to clean it a bit inside.

Clean your Xbox from dust inside with compressed air.

My system is clean and has been clean. Not even dust on the inside. Can you suggest a new solution?

The xbox collects dust overtime so my opinion is it needs to be cleaned from the inside or the power supply cord is in a spot where it can't breathe.
