xbox series s getting really hot in 10 min

these forums are totally dead compared to 10+ years ago when i used to be addicted to them, a topic wouldn't last 10 min on the front page unless it was really hot

[quote user="DES5IE"]any time I play halo 4 My Xbox gets hot then after 5-10 mins later its super hot[/quote]Define "hot" in a more thorough fashion.



The last time I put a temperature sensor on the exhaust grill of a 360 S, the exhaust was around 115-120F, up from the 90-95F of an original Jasper 360.



The exhaust should be hot. It's exhausting hot air out of the console.



If you're playing games from the disc, don't. Install them. If you can't, either buy a new copy or buy a Games on Demand copy.

I'm a very big gamer I play Xbox all day and Mabey night lol Avarge about 10-12 hours Mabey less

10 to 12 hours a
day, every day? That's... not healthy.

Pretty sure it's an overheating issue. I got Battlefield 4 yesterday and was only 10 mins... (10 mins!) into playing online, here's the photo I took.

When I went to turn the console off, it was really hot, and this was with the fan unplugged, I was better off with the fan plugged in, I actually got an hour and a half.

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

yet my pc with air cooling only and running a stress test maxed gpu and cpu runs cool in comparison. cpu maxes out at 62 degrees and the 3080ti hits 68 degrees.

the series s is a little box that does not provide the best of cooling and is also running full tilt running the games best it can, unfortunately showing its age already.

If the PC case is designed well enough, then it is surprising how cool air cooling can keep a system....my system runs miles cooler than my old one despite having less fans and only a CPU fan cooler (versus liquid). It only has a 2060 Super but I used to run that at 95% usage for hours on end and the exhaust air still ran cool, albeit with the fans running at max

The Series S kind of reminds me of the bargain basement PC cases you can get which have almost zero airflow...components just run so much hotter
