Has anyone else’s series x fan stopped working?

We cannot assist with self repair

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?

Any sort of grinding noise is not a good sign. Arrange a repair or replacement.

I had to replace a Series X that had a grinding disc drive just 6 months after I purchased it.

Hi there!

Sorry to hear about what happened. It seems to be a mechanical issue. Probably there are dusts stuck on your fan that needs cleaning. You could try to use a vacuum blower to blow off the dusts slowly.

If that didn't work, you may check your repair options here https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/...

This is the result of dust getting on the fan blades which usually causes the fan to get loud.
