Xbox One X Fan Sound Issue?

What sort of sound are you getting? Just a super loud fan sound, or does it sound like the fan is hitting something? I get a super loud fan on my Xbox One X, but never anything more than that.

The solution I was looking at was replacing with an Xbox one X so i'm not too concerned with warranty voiding. The sound is definitely not just startup turbo fan sounds, it is a concerning rattle, this is why I suspected an obstruction.

Hi,

There is a fan sound with the One X, it's completely normal. The only time the machine would be almost silent is playing none enhanced titles. The machine gets warm especially playing enhanced games. A temperature sensor would record 65c at the rear of the
unit, quite normal.

That being said, the fan should not be in any way annoying or disruptive to your game experience. If Xbox One X sounds overly loud, like a 'vacuum cleaner' or a 'jet engine' something is wrong.

Only the PS4 Pro sounds like it's going to 'take off', normal for that machine (I've got one), not the One X.

There's 2 main sources of noise in the Xbox One: -

1. The fan. In the video the OP linked to, that sounds like a fan issue to me as it's making a kinda metallic sound. It definitely shouldn't sound like that. It should just sound like a very quiet whooshing of air - exactly as you'd expect a quiet fan to
sound.

2. The hard drive. Because the fan in the One is so quiet, you can more easily hear the hard drive activity.

You're never going to get an Xbox One that is truly silent and when people say "mine is silent" they just mean that it's extremely quiet, but if your fan sounds like the one in that video then it's faulty.

Hi

I have bought A Knight's Quest and Post War Dreams, when I play them on my console the fan spins fast and the console sounds like vacuum cleaner, after a while the console turns it off. When I start it up its says it have been overheated, but the console is
not warm at all. On A Knight's Quest when running in the water the fan makes mostly noises. On Post War Dreams the fan spins fast on level 1, but when I got to level 2 the fan spins normally.

I can play other games without any issues like The Division 1 and 2. Forza Horizon 3 and 4, GTA V, Assasins Creed etc for several hours without getting overheated.

But the 2 basic games A Knight's Quest and Post War Dreams makes my Xbox One X sounds like vacuum cleaner, so are those game badly programmed and something in the code trigger it or is it my Xbox One X br****ay the other games either or?.

A friend of my have tried A Knight's Quest on his Xbox One X Scorpio Edition and this game makes his Xbox One X sounds like a vacuum cleaner too, so for me it sounds that those games are badly programmed and something in the code trigger this issue on some
Xbox One X versions.

I saw the thread about Ace Combat 7 that their console got overheated when the plane crashed into the sea, what I noticed a user got reply from the developer that a bug caused this issue. So maybe its a bug as well for A Knight's Quest and Post War Dreams that
makes the Xbox One X sounds like a vacuum cleaner?

My warranty for my Xbox One X ends 23 January, s****r or not, as other games work with out any issues.
