Question about my power supply

Truly Legiit x · Oct 13, 2015

Just got a new power supply for my Xbox One from Microsoft because my old one stopped working. I noticed when moving it after playing for a few hours (Xbox was off) that it was very hot. On a scale of 1 to 10, if 10/10 is too hot to touch, it was probably
8/10. I never really checked my old one so I don't have anything to compare it to. It was sitting on the hardwood floor in a very open area so it was well ventilated. Is this normal and something I just never noticed before or should I be concerned?

Hey Legiit!

Do you get any performance issues or anything like that since you started noticing the heat from the power supply? So long as you have it in an open and well-ventilated area you shouldn't need to worry about it if you're not seeing any performance issues.

Also, if you're plugging your power supply into a power strip try bypassing that and plugging it directly into a wall. Power strips aren't officially supported and can cause issues for your power supply and console.

Hey there Corona!

We always recommend using a power supply from the region that you are using the console in. For more information about the power supply unit, check out our
Xbox One Power Supply support article.

I would suggest getting a power supply unit specifically designed for your region to use with your console. Let us know if you have any other questions! ^_^

Hey there, yes you would also need a UK Transformer (unless the adapter can manage the power transform itself - which some do). Alternatively, you could just order a 'UK Xbox 360 Power Supply' and use that in your console instead of the American one.

It would save a lot of bother

The console itself is the same everywhere and the power supply just manages the electrical current from its local socket into the console. So a UK Power Supply would resolve this for you and would probably be (in my own opinion) the best method.

OperativeManx 10, hey there!

Welcome to the Country by the way! Many of our "D.I.Y" stores and supermarkets actually stock this equipment and any of them should be sufficient enough for you to use. Just ask for something called a 'US to UK plug adapter'.

Simply put, it will plug into your power outlet (wall socket) and then your 360's power supply plug will fit into that.

You can literally pick these up from almost any major store or D.I.Y shop.

I hope this helps.
