Xbox one S fan throttle

Hey there!

Sorry to hear that you're experiencing fan issues. Let's have you check out the

console ventilation support article if you haven't already. As it says in the article, if you are placing the Xbox One S console in a vertical orientation, using the console stand is required to ensure the bottom vent is not blocked. For more information,
go to Using the vertical stand for the Xbox One S console.

Let us know if you're still hearing issues with your Xbox One S fan!

Thermal protection has been part of Intel and AMD CPUs for quite some time. I have an i3 2100T with the stock heatsink/fan mounted on an ITX system. The fan power cable was wrapped too tightly around the fan grill/cage and prevented the fan from turning.
System booted fine, but videos would slow to a crawl. The reason was the temperature protection kicking in and throttling the CPU speed down to prevent damage. It was transparent and the system never alerted me to the problem.



Thermal throttling on x86/x64 CPUs has been a solved problem for many years.

Let us know if these sugestions fix your issue, or if you need more assistance?

this unfortunately does not help my issue, as i think it might be something going on with my fan or the build that messed with my PWM port for my fan. my fan no longer spins as much. i got it to run the fan for 2-3 minutes and then the fan quits. i know
the fan is good if it does spin. i am hoping that it isnt the fan as i am currently looking at aftermarket fans (i might consider on the be quiet! silentwings 3 PWM fan to install into my xbox one s as a replacement) to see if that fixes anything, and i am
thinking of getting an aftermarket stand with fans as well that way i dont wind up with any issues. im just hoping someone can at least help figure out what is going on entirely and if the Insider Alpha has damaged my fan controller that the xbox throttles,
or if the fan has officially failed after 3 or 4 years of owning it

no overheating issues. the whole thing is designed to run much cooler and it has a temperature gauge that will throttle cpu if there is user error (vents blocked or what not) or a fan failure.

Hi Pablopro89,

This is not a feature in the Xbox One to throttle the network connection. You would need a third party appliance or application like a physical firewall to throttle the connection on the Xbox IP.

Hope this helps.
