Xbox series x fan is running really loud when i play xbox series x games.

So, I recently noticed that my Xbox Series X fan runs loud when playing Series X|S / Optimised for Series X|S games specifically.

It’s quite strange as it’s dead quiet every other time, but as soon as I start a Series X|S game, the fan becomes so loud that I need to turn up the tv volume.. it’s quite distracting.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions?

FYI - My Series X is a pre-order/launch day model.. and it sits in an open and well ventilated tv/entertainment stand*

In comparison, I owned an Xbox One S for three years and I never heard the fan on that.

I’m having the exact same problem now. The only time my Xbox sounds loud is when running series x enhanced games, it’s completely fine on old gen games. Have you had this issue fixed or is it still a problem now?

Is there a game running in the background? Does the Xbox One X fan still kick in loud when you've fully shutdown the console and turned it on fresh?

I've noticed that my Xbox One X is usually fairly quiet, but there are some games where the fan kicks in really loud, even if they're running in the background while I watch Netflix.

I understand your concern, don't worry. You can ask anything.

I say it's normal operation, because if it's an error, the console issues a warning that the cooling system is not working normally, when it overheats.

So as long as this warning doesn't appear, it means it's the normal operation of the console.

Counting on the possible symptoms that I listed above, which can cause a bigger noise from the cooler.

Hello!

My name is Dérek, I'm an independent platform consultant and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you.

Im, the console can make a higher noise depending on the temperature of the place, the game you are playing, the time you are playing, among thousands of factors.

It will only be a problem if the console shuts down and gives an overheating warning.

If it's overheating, you can call your warranty.

In the meantime, you can rest assured that this is normal operation.

I remain at your disposal if you have any further questions.
