Hello, do you know if it is normal for the Xbox Series S Black Carbon to heat up without...

Hello Dead Z, I am an independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today. My name is Khaji

It is normal for the Xbox Series S Black Carbon to run a little hot, even when no games are running. This is because the console is designed to dissipate the heat generated by the internal components through the
ventilation. However, the amount of heat may vary depending on several factors, such as the length of the gaming session and the demands of the game.

It is important to mention that the Xbox Series S Black Carbon has higher performance than the Xbox One S, which could result in greater heat generation. However, if the console overheats, a warning will appear on the screen informing you about this and it could even turn off by itself to prevent damage.

If you notice that your Xbox Series S Black Carbon is getting hotter than normal or if you are experiencing performance issues, I would recommend checking the following:

Console location: Make sure the console is in a well-ventilated location and that there is nothing obstructing the airflow to the console fan.

Power mode: If your console gets hot even when it's off, you can change the power mode to “power saving” instead of “instant start.” This will completely turn off the console when you turn it off, which could help reduce heating

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding! If you need anything else, don't hesitate to contact us again.

Hello,

It's been some time now and I still do not see the Carbon Black Series S being available through the Xbox All Access program.

Can we take this to mean that it will not be? Can anyone on the Microsoft / Xbox side give us a confirmation or denial on this?

I would love to purchase the Carbon Black, but I'd only really want to do that via the All Access program.

Thanks.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community and Merry Christmas.

Hello Jodi, what would be the model of your Xbox, is it a normal Xbox or one of the new generation S/X?

You say that it is full of black marks, but they appear for no reason, did you leave something on top of the console, do you feel that the console is heating up more than usual?

If you can give more details?

Heat is entirly normal.

However unlike others have speculated, the Series S is designed with a giant vent right above the heat sink for a reason, to get the heat out. Depending on what game you’re playing and whst. You’re doing, more heat is generated

The one terabyte model is black. right now only refurbished ones are available, of course you're free to check other retailers
