Putting something on top of a Xbox One X

I'd advise against putting a heat source (like another device) on top of your console. A small figurine or statue should be fine, as long as it's not too heavy, but another console would be inadvisable.

Hello Caio,

It could overheat with the cloth on top of it. On an Xbox one original there are vents on the top. On the Xbox one S and X there isn't. I wouldn't recommend putting a cloth over it due to could block airflow. here is a guide for

Xbox Ventilation.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

I guess it depends on how big or how heavy your TV is. As others have stated, the Xbox One X doesn't vent out of the top (Xbox One and One S do AFAIK), so having something on top of it shouldn't affect the console in that way.

Personally speaking, I would only consider this as an option if the TV was quite lightweight.

Update:

1) Disk drive works, turns out i was putting the cd in with the top facing to the right (same way i put it in my xbox one s) and the correct way for the series x is pointing left. Should have noticed it earlier but i was silly

2) As for the monitor, no idea what caused it but i'll stay on the weaker monitor since that one isnt crashing with the series x plugs in.

The One X it's not silent like the 2013 Xbox...it's slightly more rumorous, but you can try to put the console out of there maybe on the top of a shelf and stand it vertical? It's more silent that way but in every case more rumorous than the 2013 Xbox.
