  1. Series S getting hot on the backside


    Just got my series S a couple of days ago and I've noticed it heating and wanted to know if it's normal..I know heating around the black circle is normal..but I noticed the backside getting hot too after some time.. about 2 hours of mild gaming.. tekken for 30 minutes and fifa for 15 minutes..rest of the time it was downloading and was left idle..when I picked it up and touched the backside..it was hot..so is it normal for the backside to heat too?

    :)

    Yes, your console vents air in the back

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today AMANSHARMA619

    If you're not receiving the overheating message on the screen and if your console is enough ventilated as advised in this article:

    You're good to go

    I keep everything in mind and place the console flat in a well ventilated area..the console is cold on vents and the plastic region but hot on black circle and backside...I just wanted to know about the backside...is it normal?

    I suggest you look at this temperature test from Digital Foundry on the Series. (this link should be timed to that section of the video). If not it's at about 10:35 in.

    As you can see the black circle is pretty hot (which is completely normal) and the rear is quite warm too.

    As long as the fan doesn't become noisy and there are no warnings on-screen about overheating, everything is fine.

    Note that these consoles get hot inside. External temperature aside, inside we're taking 70c (around 155f). So it's quite normal for the machine to be warm to the touch on the outside.

    Xbox series s gets hot

    Heat is entirly normal.

    However unlike others have speculated, the Series S is designed with a giant vent right above the heat sink for a reason, to get the heat out. Depending on what game you’re playing and whst. You’re doing, more heat is generated
