    xbox slim overheating


    We had trouble with noises from the power brick from the beginning. I should have returned it, but after a few minutes it would stop humming and settle in. Well needless to say, 2 years later, now the system doesn't run 20 minutes and shuts down completely.
    I just bought a brand new Microsoft Brick power supply with the new cord. No humming, but system is still shutting down. No warning, it just dies. After a while it will turn on again, so I am assuming it is overheating. We have no additional funds for a new
    Xbox. Now Santa's Infinity gift is useless. Any ideas?

    :)

    The slim will have the same specs as the Xbox One and hopefully won't have overheating problems due to it's small size.

  3. Slim and overheating??

    Hi guys I'm new to the Xbox Slim, not new to consoles on my 2nd PS3. I was wondering if the slim is prone to overheating, and does it need a cooler???

    xbox slim overheating

    Hi there - first thing's first, let's run through a few basic things that might be causing the problem. 1. Is your console in a well ventilated area? 2. Have you tried using a compressed air canister (specifically for computers!) to try and clean out any
    dust that may be within the console? 3. What colour is the power brick? 3. Does the power light on the console ever show any other colour than green - i.e. red?

    Slim and overheating??

    It just seems warmer because the fan in the Slims does a better job of blowing hot air out. I have both a Slim and Elite "Fat Boy", you can definitely tell the difference in the fan when either one is on. Just keep it in the open
    and if you don't care about the look of it. You can use the black foam pieces that came with the console to prop it up, so air can come out the vent on the bottom. That is if you are not standing it up already.
