Xbox fan in console

Hello C0OLDUG27,

Thank you for posting on Xbox Forums. In regards to this issue/question about the console's fan and what options you have for repairing it, if the console is under warranty you can create a repair ticket and send it in for repair. However, since this
is an Original Xbox One, if the console is no longer under warranty you will not be able to send it in as you would an Xbox One S or X if they we out of warranty and pay a fee. The Original Xbox One is no longer being serviced as Microsoft and Xbox are no
longer making the console units. If you are having issues with the console you may need to seek out a replacement unit. it is unfortunate but at this time it is one of the only options if the console is no longer under warranty.

If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to reply back letting us know. Thank you again for posting on Xbox Forums.

Greetings,

that generally happens when your console is working under duress. Make sure there are no objects above or around the console that impede it to "breathe" or no electrical device that might cause overheating.

The fan will go all the way up to its maximum speed to solve the overheating condition. The Xbox One actually has the ability to ramp down its power usage, so that it's using next to no power when it feels it's under total thermal duress. This keeps it from
melting the plastic in its body, and also from experiencing critical overheating errors, but at the cost of performance, most likely.

Take care of your console and it will give you years of great gaming!

As the others already mentioned, the Xbox One has temperature sensors that shut the console off if it gets too hot displaying an appropriate message.

As for the USB fan suggestion by OgreRha: Do NOT do that.

The fan drawing power from the USB port will generate more heat than it will dissipate. So your console will actually be hotter with the USB fan attached.

Also, when using fans next to your console: The Xbox One and Xbox One S blow out air upwards.

So make sure that if you want to use a fan, make sure the fan is not blowing "downward" on the console, otherwise the fan will push the warm air back into the console or prevent the internal fan from transporting hot
air out.

Just make sure your console isn't positioned in direct sunlight, and you should be good.

I already sent my console for the exchange program.

I will hope that the new console will not make the same noise.

Thanks everyone!

Instant on mode causes PSU fan to run 24/7. Very annoying when every other a/v component is silent.
