Hi i just want to ask that does the fan in the xbox series x always on or turns of when you...

I can't hear anything abnormal in that video, even with my stereo turned up to maximum..then again, all I can hear is the sound of you moving around etc.

I would say that the Series X does pretty much run silent...I don't hear mine at all when it's on.

Coil whine is always a possibility with anything with some sort of graphics card in it. However, it's possible it is the fan rather than the GPU

Edit: Another question to ask is does it get worse when you are playing games? Especially intense graphics games?

Hi Arjit!

The fan is already programmed into the system. If it's not necessary to use it, it will not turn on. It's normal that it's turned off if it's on minimal usage like in Shutdown mode or Sleep mode. If you play games or use apps that use a lot of power and resources, your fan should start to work.

it is normal, when you shut down the console will run the fan to cool the unit down from use, also the unit is busy syncing saves and checking for updates, it will start the fan every so often too when checking for updates and so on.

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

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Wikus, as I understand it, you have two consoles and the Xbox One does not turn on and you want to pass the data from the HD to your Series X.

If so, it's not advisable because you'll need to open Series X for that.

If both consoles are yours, just put your account on your Series X and download the games as normal.

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?
