Really loud fan on series x

Hi, Andrew! I'm Kim, an Independent Advisor and I’m happy to help you today.

Sorry about that. Does it affect your gameplay or your console's performance?

Kindly make sure your console is well ventilated and clean any dust to reduce fan noise.

So, I recently noticed that my Xbox Series X fan runs loud when playing Series X|S / Optimised for Series X|S games specifically.

It’s quite strange as it’s dead quiet every other time, but as soon as I start a Series X|S game, the fan becomes so loud that I need to turn up the tv volume.. it’s quite distracting.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions?

FYI - My Series X is a pre-order/launch day model.. and it sits in an open and well ventilated tv/entertainment stand*

In comparison, I owned an Xbox One S for three years and I never heard the fan on that.

I’m having the exact same problem now. The only time my Xbox sounds loud is when running series x enhanced games, it’s completely fine on old gen games. Have you had this issue fixed or is it still a problem now?

Have a look at:

Is there a game running in the background? Does the Xbox One X fan still kick in loud when you've fully shutdown the console and turned it on fresh?

I've noticed that my Xbox One X is usually fairly quiet, but there are some games where the fan kicks in really loud, even if they're running in the background while I watch Netflix.

Thanks for your reply,

Do you hear your fan over gaming?

If I’m offered a replacement or refund I may just pay the extra for the series x.

Does anyone with a series s know if the fan should be as loud as described above? Can’t see this being normal, plus it’s intermittent.
