    Should my Xbox X be hot on the sides?


    I have had my Xbox for a while now and noticed that the sides of the box are heating up and getting hot when playing. The fan works fine and is blowing hot air out but the box is still heating up. Is my Xbox fine to continue using?

    :)

    Xbox One X Overheating in fairly well ventilated area but fine with fan blowing into it.

    My xbox one x gets warm but never dangerously hot.

    Very Hot Top Vent!

    When playing a game, the top vent should be on the warmer side. I have two xbox ones and neither of them gets ''extremely hot'' really warm but definitley not extremely hot.

    Make sure you don't have anything on top of that fan on top of the console and that the power brick is well ventilated.
