I have two questions one about popping and other about fan.

The popping noises only last 10 minutes and happen periodically during the ten minutes it might be the plastic thermal expansion I heard a couple people talk about it. It doesn’t seem to cause any issues and thank you for the help.

Hi there ShinyNut, 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.

Regarding the first question, the answer is yes. If the console is very hot when it is turned on, it is normal for the fan speed to increase to cool the console down to a normal temperature.

Regarding the second question, personally, I have never heard popping sounds from my console, although it might be because where I live, it is always very hot, even in winter. However, it makes sense that it happens when the console is new and if the temperature change is very abrupt. As long as the noises are not very loud and do not last a long time, there is nothing to worry about.

Please keep in mind that in this public forum, we are just fellow players like you, trying to help other players with our best intentions.

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

Kind regards,
Gerardo.

No worries, it's always a pleasure to help!

Okay if it becomes a problem i will use my warranty i just got the console in February i just worry to much. Thank you for your assistance.

Hello again,

If you have heard that other players also hear those sounds, you shouldn't worry, unless they are very loud. As I mentioned before, if they become bothersome even from a considerable distance from the console, I recommend using the console warranty if it is still valid. Otherwise, you have nothing to worry about.

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

Kind regards,
Gerardo.
