Xbox series x loud when play 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?

Like, when I say it’s loud, the thing sounds like a hoover. 😳

Hi

That's not right at all. My Series X is almost silent, running Series X games or Xbox One games.

If it sounds that loud either there is a hardware fault or the consoles' location is not ideal.

While it's true that some games will make the system hotter, it should not sound like a hoover, even my high end gaming PC (self built) doesn't get that loud and it can reach 84C.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

Hola r4e6y4, to prevent more dust from accumulating on the console the ideal would be to cover it with a hood when it is not in use, so this should shut it down completely in the system.

As for the dirt that is there if the console is already more than a year old and is out of warranty the ideal would be to seek some technical assistance that can do an internal cleaning on the console.

Hi,

While it's true that the Series X can get rather warm in operation, it should not be loud. If it's loud, it's either been placed in a location where there isn't enough airflow or it's faulty. You'd be surprised how many users put their console inside enclosed cabinets or entertainment units and expect everything to be fine.

I have a Series X and I've played it for 3 to 4 hours on some weekends. It get's warm and I can feel this heat when I place my hand on top of the console, but it isn't at all loud, my Series X is really quite and remains quite during heavy usage. Mine is only slightly warm when on instant on.

So, what you’re saying is, the loud fan will pretty much be a part of the Series X gaming experience as the Next-Gen games require more power.. correct? 🤔

That’s interesting considering the console was designed to run these games with ease but it would seem like the games are pushing the console to it’s limits almost constantly.

I mean, it’s great that it plays Xbox 360/One games silently/smoothly, but I didn’t buy a new console to only have a pleasant experience playing old games..
