Overheating issue Replaced my system 4 times.

Hello Da Gamer JayDeeZee1,

Thank you for your contribution to the Microsoft community.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing overheating issues with your Xbox Series X. Based on the information you provided, it seems like you’ve already tried several troubleshooting steps and replaced your console multiple times, but the issue still persists. Just a reminder, we are not able to double check your account and console here manually since we do not have the option to. No worries, we do have some troubleshooting steps here that we may use for the issue.

Basing on the statement you provided above, here are some troubleshooting steps that you may try:

• Running software
  
  If you have multiple applications or games running at the same time, then this could cause your Xbox to use more resources, resulting in your system running hotter than normal. Close any unused applications or games.
  
• Low-quality accessories
  
  Low-quality or third-party accessories may not deliver the proper power or cooling required for optimal performance. Remove any connected accessories.
  

You can also try the following steps to prevent your Xbox Series X from overheating:

• Ensure your Xbox Series X is oriented to allow and is clean. The Xbox Series X is designed to allow for cool fresh air to pass through the system from the bottom and spits hot air out from the top. If the vent at the top of the console is blocked, then hot air will build up in the system. Avoid placing the console in enclosed spaces or on surfaces that obstruct airflow, such as inside cabinets or on soft materials like carpets. Keep 4-6 inches of open space between your console’s vents and any objects.
  
• Keep your Xbox away from any heat sources. For your Xbox to cool it needs to be in a space where the ambient air temperature won’t change drastically. The ideal room temperature for your Xbox should be around +5ºC (+41ºF) to +35ºC (+95ºF).
  
• Check your system for any available updates. Ensuring your system is updated ensures that your console receives essential bug fixes and system improvements that can prevent your system from overheating.
  
  If none of these steps work, you can try contacting Microsoft support directly. They may be able to provide additional assistance with the issue.

This overheating issue is dissappointing. If you are expected to run your cable box through the console, it should be expected that the console will run for long periods of time. Even with all the power saving options some consoles are potentially overheating.
After the fiasco with the 360 I'm not very optimistic about this being resolved in a satisfactory manner. Users have replaced there units and are still having issues. If I receive a second faulty unit, I will be forced to do my gaming on another companies
game system.

I've replaced my power supply for my original Xbox One two times... similar issues to what you're describing. It took a full unplug.. I even unplugged the cable from the wall and from the brick. The brick was always very warm when I did this.. I believe
the brick itself was overheating, which is why I replaced it.

Be Wise & Think about What was Said... (DON'T OPEN YOUR CONSOLES)

The PAL consoles do react differently in different Climates & Australia's Climate can change on a drop of a hat too & cause overheating issues.. The System Updates, have stopped 2 Light Overheating RROD's on My Australian Console & I have not seen one again
for about 4 years... (An Overheating RROD was the only one I had on My 2007 Falcon Pro 20GB Console)

Hi there,

as you have ensured your console is not overheating and has adequate ventilation, this may be an issue with your console's power supply. Please visit this page: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/system/console-wont-power-on/
and check through solutions 4, 6 and 7. If none of these help, solution 8 may be your only option (having the power supply replaced).

Let us know how you get on! Good luck.
