XBOX Series X fan often makes annoying squeak

oliverlovesit · Feb 22, 2022

So I got my XBOX Series X just a few days ago and quickly I noticed that sometimes the fan would emit a noticeable squeaking sound.

At some point when I realized that the console doesn’t have a drive that could even make a sound like this I checked where the sound was coming from and this was when I realized the fan doesn’t just squeak sometimes: it doesn’t seem to spin freely and it sounds as if it was brushing against something.

Now with the hassle of returning the console and putting everything back on it, I’m hoping for a quick fix or at least a way to keep the console and getting just the fan replaced instead of an all new one.

I would even just ignore the fan but I’m kind of afraid that it is going to kill itself eventually if it wears out from the friction.

Is it like a squeaking noise from the fan area? My console makes it every so often and it can be quite loud. I've already had a replacement for the same reason but it still makes the noise.

My fan has developed a squeaking sound. Not loud enough to where you can't hear the game audio, but just enough to be slightly annoying. However, it seems like it has gotten a little better over the past few weeks.
