    Kinect running hot


    I purchased an Xbox One about a week and a half ago, and one thing I've noticed is how hot Kinect runs. The thing runs hotter than any other part of the console, and I've placed it in various places to see if it helps. I'm sure the fan works fine since I''ve
    felt cool air coming out the back, but that was only on one occasion. It's had no performance issues so far, so I was wondering if it may be a faulty fan or if Kinect just naturally runs hot. Thanks for any help.

    :)

    My Kinect too is probably the hottest running device of the three (console, power brick, Kinect), I wouldn't call it "hot" but clearly the warmest.

    It does get quite hot after a time, but that's normal. The console has built in sensors that monitor the temperature, so if the system gets too hot it will turn itself off to prevent damage. If your fan wasn't functioning at all, I expect that your console
    would be turning itself off all the time as heat would no longer be being drawn anyway from the internals.

    The kinect naturally runs hot but if it gets hot to the point that it is burning hot then you may have a faulty fan.

    Kinect issue

    Without more specific information there's no way to troubleshoot it.

    The Xbox One Kinect runs extremely hot, and i've had multiple fans fail in them myself, so hardware failure is an option. .

    Xbox running hot

    Hey there MidnightRun35!

    It is normal for the Xbox One to produce warmth during game play. Although, if you believe your console is running hotter than normal and it's causing issues (freezing, sudden power off, etc) please post back and let us know. You can also check out this
    Xbox One Ventilation article for tips on giving your console some breathing room!
