    As question states the console makes noise and overheats. In living room well ventilated, game play is disrupted in a short time after starting. Would this be a defective fan?

    Xbox Series S Fan isn't humming like normal.

    So usually when I play on my series s the fan makes a loudish noise....
    The Series S, just like the Series X is designed to be quite, in normal gaming (even when play X|S optimised games) the Series S fan should not be audible. It should be pretty much silent.

    Have you changed the location of where your console is located? These consoles get warm (hot even), this is normal. So their location is actually more important than hearing the fan spinning.

    Modern Warfare bricked Xbox One X

    I haven't played this game recently for all these issues, my Xbox was getting really hot and the fan was making a very loud noise. I heard the comments about people getting the console damaged while playing this game and did not want to risk.

    Xbox played vert

    The S contains high end electronics in a small box. The fan will run and it will get warm

    Putting it vertical will only compromise cooling, since hot air goes up. While it is designed for both positions, and there is debate how much difference it really makes, hot air fan pointing up is always best.

    A Series X should always be vertical for optimal. It's a literal chimney.

    Xbox series S shuts off within minutes - says it’s over heating?

    Thanks for the help.

    I checked the resolution. It was set to UHD. If the series S can’t push that resolution why is it an option.

    re: the fan, the grill is hot but there is no fan noise or noticeable airflow. For reference when my laptop fan turns on I can hear it and feel it. For this Xbox, there is nothing. I can put my ear right up to it. No fan noise at all. I do t have a reference as I have never used a different Xbox s but I am also thinking the fan is not functional. For those that have an Xbox s - can you hear the fan when it’s functioning normally?
