How to clean dust from your xbox series x console without opening it

Hi there Oliwier, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

You can use compressed air through the vents of your console to clean any excess dust that may be on the fan or inside it. Just make sure to keep the fan fixed in place with something to prevent it from spinning or moving while using compressed air, and also do it from a considerable distance, there's no need to do it too close to the vents, at least do it 15 cm away.

Additionally, I recommend taking a look at the following link, where they provide more tips on how to clean your console and its accessories:

I hope this helps and if you have further questions please let me know.

Kind regards,

If the Xbox is an X or S the side vents may be clogged with dust.

While its powered OFF to cool it, get a vacuum cleaner without attachment and vacuum both sides of the console, which will allow airflow again.

With a black console you will see how much dust accumulation there is as you clean those little holes.

Thanks alot but are u sure it wont damage the xbox

How long have you had your Elite? If you got it a long time ago (2006 or so) than you may need to open your xbox to clean out all the dust out of it. After awhile, old xboxes can run very slow and eventually get Red-Ringed. Some players have open their xboxes
to clean out all the cobwebs and dust, they say it's what keeping their xbox from Red-ringing.

Never used compressed air?

I'd never recommend it on a PC, since you can open the machine and clean it directly, but how do you think you are going to get the dust out of a console?

The only area vacuums are going to hit are around the fans, face it home vacumm cleaners are not that powerful. There is a big bunch of space in a console that won't be cleaned with just a vacuum cleaner.

A quick puff of compressed air will shift settleed dust that a vacuum alone will not get.

If you could open your console I would not recommend compressed air at all, but you can't without being banned can you.
