Fan really loud only playing Fortnite

alex haffenden · Sep 20, 2022

Hi, when playing Fortnite my fan goes into hyperdrive. It is so noisy I have to turn the volume up and the fan noise can be heard downstairs. When playing any other game the noise disappears.

It is in a ventilated area, cleaned but no change. The Xbox series x has also turned itself off twice recently.

Any advice please

:)

The console when turning on, issued the message that the console had overheated?

Hello!

My name is Dérek, I'm an independent platform consultant and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you.

Alex, The new generation consoles emit a really loud noise, as they have a powerful cooling system to support the console's processing power.

So this is really normal.

The console turned off playing which game exactly?

Hi, I took the Xbox off the desk, used an Air Duster and sprayed all around and inside any areas dusk could have got. This has cured the noise. Thanks for your replies

Enter the link, register the console.

After, click on it, go to 'online service'. In the category put hardware and drivers and fill in the form with your data.
