Xbox series x robot white fan decently loud on certain games

ShinyNut · Feb 4, 2025

In most games my Xbox series x fan is not very noticeable but on certain games it can be quite noticeable if audio is room is silent or quiet. The main game I noticed it being decently loud was on hellblade 2 and it died down when exiting game or going to the menu in the game. I just wanted to make sure that this is normal operation you don’t really hear it unless you listen for it when tv audio is up and you don’t hear it when using headset. It is quite noticeable in a very quiet room though. Please give me your feedback.

Okay thank you just wanted to make sure it was normal.

The system has never been advertised as silent, when you play high-end games the fan speed will increase and so will the volume

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?

I have the same issue. Since Fortnite Season two release the Xbox Series X fan is loud. Not in other games. It seems to be a Fortnite issue. I hope this will not damage my console??
