Please, don’t do this people. Put simply, if your console is shutting down because it’s overheating, then It’s faulty and you should get a warranty replacement (assuming it’s within the warranty period). Watch gamers nexus and digital foundry. The Series X has an excellent cooling solution that’s very well designed and does it’s job. Again, if it’s overheating IT IS FAULTY!
John you legend tell these people bro they will destroy an already faulty console pleas guys return it due to faulty console “, If you guys play or fiddle with your console then it might void the warranty
Yea got mine from argos on Christmas eve and while playing games mainly Warzone, it keeps shutting off randomly. it's well ventilated all way around and iv done all trouble shoot steps and full factory reset.
@@gunnergamer614 mine works optimal and I have it sideways stance in a cupboard and I can’t even hear it that’s how quite it is and it’s Australian summer right now my friend. Go get it refunded ASAP!
No it’s most probably down to bad thermal paste or not spread properly and dust clogging PSU and Heatsink. I’ve done mine for my son and he’s it’s working like brand new and back to silent running.
I got mine from the pre-orders last year and have not had an issue at all with it overheating.... if you keep good airflow around your console and allow for proper discharge of air unlike in this video where he is crowding the series x, I play Destiny 2 sometimes 8+ hours a day with the wife on her series x and neither one of us has seen any of the issues that are being described in the comments, I work in IT and server rooms and really understand that equipment needs room to breathe. so give your console room to breathe they are design to run a warm in a well ventilated area.
Console has loads of airflow around it ,its also sat on a roll of tape to give it a bit more height and that gives it better airflow as well ,even Gaming Nexus said the console has bad airflow .
@@k3nn3hakak34 I've watched the Gaming nexus reviews, and thermal tests, this is not true! He clearly states, keep it away from where hot heat can re enter the console, you have the ps5 and series x side by side.. both venting out hot air.. so that's only going to cause both machines to run hotter.. ps5 vents from the back.. downwards, causing the xbox to suck up the hot air.. and the xbox vents from the top.. causing the ps5 side vent to suck up it's hot air.. Terrible setup!
@@torrieanne5931 setup has nothing to do with it if side by side as only one console used at a time plus as I've said before both consoles are in an open area ,ps5 is now hooked up to my pc monitor and series x is on its own . Running games on series x with this fan on makes the console alot cooler with this fan ,I've even done temp tests which bring the temps down .
I just want to say if your series X is overheating it’s a Defect or user error or maybe the console is too Dusty and blocking up the heat sink. Please no one do this as Series X as optimal cooling with the standard fan. It’s been designed to channel air in such a way and your blocking that. Again if it’s overheating then it’s a defect user error or it’s Dusty. Note If the console is hot it doesn’t mean it’s overheating. If it shuts down and tells you it’s overheating then you go do something. But the more Heat you feel coming out the better
In this heat here in the south of the UK it has been very hot weather and it's only going to get hotter ,with this fan pulling h=the air out as well it keeps the console super cool .
I've had one heating issue with my Xbox series x that 140mm usb fan is a really good idea thank you mate 👊🏾 for the idea I'm going to buy one on Amazon
Your welcome bud i hope that helps you out ,also have another vis where i have the Series X sat on a roll of duct tape to give better air flow from the bottom ,that helps out a lot as well with over heating issues on Series X .
Why because a shortage of new consoles at the time and i'd rather redo the thermal compound myself than trust a muppet to reapply it when its getting done .But since i've raised it higher the console as in previous vid my over heating issues are gone and when its extremely hot i use the 140mm fan on top which keeps it ultra cool .
That top part is the exhaust though. The Series x’s intakes are at the bottom and the back of the Xbox. So maybe have the fan behind either of those two vents? Gamer Nexus’ channel have a vid about the Series D’s vacuum system
Just got my series x and a 140 mm fan on top so it doesn’t get hot. I put the two dust filters on back and the box stays cool. U still get airflow underneath and thru back of the console. Overall the push pull method works great for me.
I'm a bit confused as to why people are putting fans and cooling devices usually from Amazon onto their Xbox? I'm on university break and I'll tell you, I've really pushed this thing every day lmao. As long as it's got open access to air, I can't see why it would over overheat unless maybe ppl are concerned about it blowing out warm air?
I high round on Cod Zombies on my days off so that’s 5-10 hours of gaming and it’s hot and something to cool it down is nice and if doesn’t actually do anything well then it’s the thought that counts
I actually have that exact fan in case I have heat issues. I also raised the unit so air can flow into the bottom more easily. I haven't installed the fan yet, but we'll see when 2042 comes out. I understand the top fan needs to blow up...not sure why so many got confused.
Since the weather is getting colder now i've not used the fan myself in a while ,i didn't use it whilst playing 2042 as wanted to see if the Series X would crash but it didn't .What some people don't realise is that Series X is basically a tiny pc and with the power it has it has a lot of heating passing through it ,and when it finally get used to its full potential we shall are going to have some very system hungry games which will push it to it's limit's .
@@k3nn3hakak34 Agreed! Also the worst thing is the aftermarket fan stands...they disrupt what is a complex designed air vortex inside the console. I already found a roll of duct tape and it worked perfectly as a stand boost. What a great idea! I also ...from day one set the console to completely shut off...mostly because I keep it covered to protect from dust, and I don't need it coming on while covered....not good.
@@hobbycow5346 Yeah those after market fan stands are the worst idea ever ,i did see on ebay some has mad ring stand with an xbox logo on it for £10 ,i was going to buy a 3D printer and make one myself but best bet would be to buy/get a small off cut of 4 -6 inch plumbing tubing for the series x to sit on .But at the moment the X seems fine sat on duct tape .
@@k3nn3hakak34 I like the duct tape better because the edges of the roll are tacky and it has a really nice grip to the bottom of the Xbox! (I put a small piece of wood under the bottom of the roll so it doesn't ruin the dresser it's sitting on.) If I pick up the Xbox, the tape roll is stuck to the bottom of it, so no chance of sliding around. Happy gaming! 😀
@@hobbycow5346 Very true i noticed that on my Series X with it sticking to the duct tape ,think i'll go buy some black Duct tape tomorrow to match the xbox .
Quick question: How can your system be over heating when I was playing games with my boiler on and room temperature at 80°F and no issues. I think your system if defective because this hasn’t happened to be since day one.
It's been known that certain systems are over heating due to poor cooling,like not enough or too much thermal paste ,also the airflow design for cooling is absolute $hite
Yeah if you left it in standby mode with some games in quick resume it will get a litle bit hot but is is made to do it. My solution is just close every single game and then shut it down in stadn by and console never gets hot or warmer... takes 20 seconds to get in game so... no rush.
So my series X I run about 18 hours of straight gameplay and had it overheated. I then moved it a but to have 6inches of space around it now it has ran 18 hours while streaming. The take away is give proper space. Also my room sits at 80-86 degrees farehnheight and it's not over heating.
Xbox still works not had any issues since but will put it through its paces when Battlefield 2042 pops up .Beets should be out in a few weeks so be tested it then on Series X to see if that gives it any issues .
Please no one do this. The console isn’t overheating unless it tells you. The cooling systems are More than enough adding a change in air flow can Harm performance as it’s designed to push air out in a wide array. If your system feels hot then that’s good as the less heat inside the better
@@ARXInfinite I don’t think it’s a power system issue. My Xbox Series X shuts off from overheating only when I play Borderlands 3, nothing else. After playing it for a bit, it gets hot and then at some point the screen flashes and the Xbox turns off with no notifications. My series x is out in the open so I’m not sure what to think about this.
Saw that bud not very good design either as its not raised enough for air intake ,what should of been done was series x was raised abit on top of the stand with a built in cooler at the bottom of series x .
I own the Xbox series X and ps5 I got a few weeks ago and Xbox series X is not overheating at all I've done Tests in my testing the ps5 gets hotter but not one of the consoles have crashed at all but again I did research and the Xbox series X and ps5 that's released in 2020 actually have different parts while the new models have better part's
Yah new batch of console have different parts for better cooling ,with rumours of a new PS5 Pro in the works also a slimmer PS5 with a detachable disc drive and maybe a faster series X .What i would really like to see is a digital only Series x . But these are just rumours at mo so we will have to see .
@@k3nn3hakak34 yeah a didital Xbox series X and a Xbox series s with a disk drive and I wish a different brand of memory cards would release for Xbox there pretty expensive
Liked and sub. Been playing 2k all night. Usually cant get pass like 3 games without it shutting down. Thank u bro. Probably the only solution that works. Got it on the taperoll too lol
I got the 120mm fan pushing the air up. with a dual fan cooling system for the bottom. That seems to do it for me. It's running way cooler. If u need the link of the cooling system from Amazon lmk. The fan alone might do it but I didn't test it alone yet. I'm sure it will tho.
My sons had his for over a year now. It started shutting off at times and giving the overheating error. Turns out the thermal paste was rock hard and PSU was clogged with dust. Put new paste on, cleaned up the console and removed dust and it’s sorted.
Your prob find out now you've done that ,it'll be reliable for years to come as with most console production the thermal paste is cheap nasty shite so to keep costs down .
Same here bud been building gaming pc's for over 25 years ,back when Doom was big ,i'm off in a few weeks so might strip mine down and repaste it as it deffo needs doing .
Get the AC Infinity 140mm fan. It has rubber feet on the top and bottom side of the fan and fits perfect on the bottom side of the Series X. I took the base off the bottom too. My Series X would play back compat games off the external HDD and last gen games from the external SSD all day, no problem. I even play cross gen games from the NVME expansion with no issue. When I play nex gen games from the internal NVME it sometimes shuts down after a few hours. Since then, I put it in ECO mode as well.
I did take the baser plate off mine as was going to do a fan mod ,but there's not enough holes in the bottom to push air through un less i dismantle the series x and drill more holes in the bottom to give it better airflow .I was playing a next gen game on series x with the fan off and it got extremely hot and was very hot to the touch ,so i turn this external fan on and it cooled down very quickly especially in this weather we're having in the uk .Thanks for the other fan info .
Totally agree the designer is a complete idiot to bot design xbox series x better bloody annoying it keeps crashing with games am 44 and get to the stage cant be bother with it anymore,might just get a fan like this if it helps
My Xbox Series X turns off all the time in the middle of gaming and yes, it is typically when I just happen to be having an awesome run too. Very frustrating. None of my other Xbox consoles did this.
Try putting Xbox on something to raise it higher for better airflow ,I have mine sat on a roll of tape and that's sorted it for me .It's on another vid on my channel .
@@k3nn3hakak34 I went on Amazon and found the "AC Infinity MULTIFAN S4, Quiet 140mm USB Fan, UL-Certified for Receiver DVR" so hopefully that and the tape roll will work. Thanks again.
Well i was plying tThe Division last few days and yesterday game started to stutter every now and then because of the high temp weather and the Series X was very hot .So connected the fan and it cooled it down very quickly ,wasn't even warm to the touch so as i've stated before it keeps the console really cool in the very hot weather .
Just find a tutorial to disassemble your Xbox Series X for cleaning, or just lay it sideways to prevent dust going in easily, and if all else fail, just get a 9 or 10 inch high velocity fan, to blow a high volume of cold air in it, and save tons of time.
Heat disperses quicker when in a vertical position ,yeah looked at break down versions both Series X/S console so be able to do that as been building gaming pc's for years .Have no issues with dust as with both fans running dust doesn't seem to settle in console .Upgraded my PC to a high spec a few months back as pc is my main gaming platform ,but it nice to just sit on the sofa and game rather than sat at a pc desk at times .
I was told never to plug any cooling device into the Xbox itself like that because it draws extra power to try to cool it and it just defeats the purpose?
I've seen external fans that plug into the back of the series x and still give bad extra cooling the external usb fan sits on top as shown and pulls the air out which brings the temp down where it's barely warm whilst playing demanding games .
What I would feel is a better fix is to clean the heatsink clean the old thermal paste on CPU make sure old thermal paste doesn't have any bridging on the capacitors any apply new high performance thermal paste on the CPU, maybe even ultrasonic the fan if you can or give it a 99% alcohol bath to make sure it's super clean or buy a new fan altogether, that is designed for it, I don't suggest this. Maybe as a last and final resort if you live in over 100 degree climate 5 or 6 months out of the year.
My Series X is running fine, but adding onto the cooling system wouldn't hurt. I think I'm going to put the Series X on a mesh desk and put a fan on top of the system. That way, I suppose the fans will be able to blow more air through the console if it's elevated.
Blowing hot air back into the console not a smart idea! Just put it in horizontal position and u will be fine if u want cool air coming out of it!Thoose huge hools on top and on side and bottom of the xbox series x serves for something! Hot air is supposed to come out from this console plus there's a vapor chamber inside !
I bought some kind of dust filter on Amazon for the series x, not really sure if that defeats the purpose of air flow but I’m going to buy this fan just in case.
I've got some pc fine dust filters and was thinking the same but decided to leave it as it is ,if and when i do get a 3d printer as can't decide on what one yet i'll make some kind of stand as at the moment its resting on top of a roll of tape shown in my previous vid and a kind of top cover to blend the fan with the series x .But what put the series x through its paces is flight sim which is out on 22nd July ,i''l try it without the fan on top to see if that brings the series and how much heat that creates .Then plug the fan in and see if it gets warm at all running at 60fps 4K as when this fans plugged in its super cool to the touch .
Best thing you can do to keep an Xbox Box Series X cool is DON'T MODIFY THE COOLING SYSTEM! It was engineered to direct air flow in the proper places, changing that airflow can cause premature component failure... Stand it vertically and don't crowd stuff around it. (Like this guy has his standing in a corner next to another heat generator... BAD) We live in a rural area, in an old house without any air conditioning but good air flow. Our computers, electronics and gaming devices function fine, even in the summer because of good airflow around them. Like any electronic device, it's good to keep them dust free as possible, so filters are okay (as long as you remember to clean them) but modifying the cooling system is pretty much a NO-GO. It's not rocket science.
I hope when they redesign Series X which they will at some point that they make the airflow better ,like with a raised stand with 2 small intake fans at the bottom blowing air each side of the console .
@@julianramos1360 not a youtuber. Huhu. I just bought 5$ small usb desk fan. Connect to the usb port of xbox, pointing at the air entry at the xbox sx at the back. It's quiet & cool airflow supplied to it. Even the air at the exit was cool. Have tried 10h gaming sessions & the results still the same
I literally live in a Sahelian country (Sénégal) with no AC in my living room. Never have I experienced this with my series X hooked to my C1. If your unit is faulty, please send it back for cleaning or replacement
Nothing to do with the overheating but is your Xbox connected to the internet using an Ethernet cable? I’ve had to remove mine and use the WiFi as it constantly disconnects or slows down with a wired connection.
My Xbox always is and almost always will be connected using ethernet. I absolutely hate Wi-Fi. Through Ethernet my Xbox downloads anywhere from 600mbps to 1.1Gbps. If I use Wi-Fi this is drastically reduced from 100 to 300. Wi-Fi is good only if you have to use it. You should always use ethernet when and where you can. For example if your neighbors are running on a 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz Channel, this could interfere with your 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz and cause your Internet to slow. Over ethernet you get no such interference. The only devices in my house that use Wi-Fi is my phone and tablet. Everything else I will only have on ethernet. Ethernet is just better and faster.
Eso es tremenda ideal el abanico que le te quedó bien porque enfría brutal Yo también lo hice y no calienta nada nada nada lo mismo le dice a PlayStation 5 también le puse 8 abanico alrededor pero acostado porque acostado el sistema no calienta y no da ningún problema meses yo la PlayStation 5 el mío yo lo tengo acostado y la temperatura que mida de caliente de 45 manada y con los abanico me baja a 35
Very weird yours is overheating. It is normal for the sides of the Xbox to be warm to the touch. Not hot that it will burn you. But normal for it to be warm. I have had mine for a year and it is still whisper quiet and runs really cool. Even under load and gaming I can never hear it. It is exhausting a lot of hot air, but I can't hear it. You should have taken yours in for a warranty repair.
I think it's just a slight percentage of them as Evey console has a few issues during launch ,mine hasn't had any issues since I've raised it and in the very hot summer months I've had the fan on keeping it even cooler
How many hours you have your Xbox series x on with that without any overheating problems? I like to play long hours but afraid of breaking the console lol
i only used the fan when its really hot as in summer months as it gets very hot in the SW of UK ,but since i've had it raised on the roll of tape as in previous vid .The airflow is so much better ,ive played for many hours 8hrs plus if not longer gaming sesh with no issues .So when its raised on roll of tape with the external fan pulling air out the console is really cool now on the sides ,where as before i they were so hot i couldn't touch them for long .
Most people who have heating issues with system it’s because people either block air flow or restrict air flow. If you put it on its side! I’m sure it wouldn’t over heat.
On its side expelling the warm air isn't efficient as having it vertical as the right hand side of the console will be face down and will get really hot .
Yeah cable management needs sorting but been very busy these last few weeks and just had BT 900 installed so i will be redoing that at some point when i know how i want my setup ,cheers all hope you like the vid if you do a nice thumbs up or down if you dislike .
@@francislash Here's my first vid of issue's of Series X crashing th-cam.com/video/abHw_sVIs4o/w-d-xo.html this method increases the airflow ,yes its crude but raising the console a bit higher stopped it crashing .The roll of tape with the fan pushing the warm out out really does help .Or you could just us a black piece of 4 inch diameter tubing .
If your fan isn't working and series x is still under warranty send it back ,you can also get a replacement fan and fox it yourself a very easy process to do ,but this external fan does pull out a load of heat which is great for when playing on hot summer days nights
If the fan is blowing downward not upwards then all the dust etc thats in the air is getting sucked in by the fan and is being forced down into the system which is more harmful then helping
Mine gets hot at the top but that's where its ment to iv played on mine for 6hrs non stop never had it shut down yes it was hot but if it detects its over heating you will get a message saying so and it will shut down ps also depends if you have it near a heat source like radiator or your room is hot anyway as if its pulling air in to cool and the air is hot then the fan can't do what its ment to and cool it down
Yeah could be ,just been hammering Insurgency for a good few hours and Series X is quite cool ,we'll see how it is when BF 2042 beta comes out next week .
There are two revisions of a Series X as there are two revisions of the PS5. Mine is March 2022 Rev2 with post Covid sourced better quality components. Mine is also totally silent and has the "anti heat soak" fan off design as an added benefit. When I turn mine off it still draws 30 watts and the fan still continues to spin for 2-5 minutes depending how much load I had the console under prior to switching off. Rev 1 units from 2020/2021 turn off the fan immediately and the heat soak in the CPU/GPU/RAM area is well above rated limits. Over time this is what fries the thermal paste. Combine this with early Series X "lower" quality components and I can see why you stuck that fan on top of yours! PS5 is better as it uses liquid silver however even these will begin to start failing dependent on use and loads prior to switching off. So. The Rev 2 Series X are excellent and the one to buy. LIKE THEY ALWAYS SAY..............."NEVER BUY THE FIRST ITERATION OF ANYTHING!" Always wait for Rev 2 or even 3. LOL.;-)))
Very nice to hear bud ,i've not had to use the fan much as weather been abit cold in the UK ,i've been hammering Elden Ring on my series X to see how it handles that and i must say no issues so far ,but wee shall see when the hotter weather comes along ,also your correct never buy consoles on release as there do tend to be issues with new hardware being released .
The components aren’t of lower quality as instead Console launch models always have the best quality hardware and then as newer revisions come about they use cost cutting techniques which lower the price of the systems A brand newly manufactured Xbox Series X isn’t any better quality than one manufactured at or near launch as there’s been no major revision of components at this point !
@@theaustralianconundrum I agree with what you said as far as these Xbox Series X Consoles should absolutely not need any extra fan in order to remain cool and so if they’re overheating in normal room temperatures in a proper area with air flow then yea that’s a defect !
I’m sorry. But your console is defective because cooling on the series x is Top class. And the designers Have done a Amazing good. The cooling is more than enough. And Is your Xbox Turning off and telling you it’s overheating? Because if it’s not then it’s not overheating just because it feels hot Doesn’t mean it is. The more heat you feel coming from the top the better less heat inside the better. Please don’t criticise anyone who has designed this system they know what they are doing. Xbox has some of the best Engineers in the world it’s cooling system is Better than high end GPU’s RTX 3090 etc. Big vapour chamber cooling APU and system Ram. I highly doubt yourself could do a better job not meaning to sound rude but you clearly don’t understand the design choices.
HI bud keeps my Series X really cool and cool to the touch ,i have the air being pulled out of he console and it does make a huge difference ,hopefully when they bring out the newer model it'll have better cooling .
This guy is obviously trolling.. if anyone's series x was overheating there is something wrong with jt and you need to warranty it, even I'm 120 degree Temps outside in the summer..
Yes bud it actually keeping it a lot cooler than the stock cool on its own ,with the external fan pulling air out as well Series x is cool to the touch .
The fan is pulling the air out bud ,not blowing into XSX which would really mess the airflow up .So basically the XSX fan is pulling the air out pushing it to the external fan ,which it is then pulling the air out .In other words both fans are pulling the air out increasing the airflow out of the console .
If i put mine in the horizontal position it would heat up even more ,try lifting it up when its been on for a good few hrs and see how long you can keep your hand touching the underside for abit .Mine without the fan on hits 90/91 degrees as been testing with a temp gun now to play flight sim and put Series X through its paces .
@@k3nn3hakak34 That's normal lmao. That's where the heat sink is of course it's gonna be hot. Your really think when Microsoft said you can lay it down horizontally is a lie? They test tf outta these things.
You don't really even need another fan like they wouldn't sell inexpensive console what tell you oh yeah you need to make sure you need to buy another USB fan just to make sure it's 100% cool no
I will say one thing tho , I do believe that the summer heat is playing a part in Xbox getting more warmer than usual so I wouldn’t panic too much if anything I think 30min to a hours rest at a time should help
Of your on about the ones that plug on the back those are useless from what I've read and seen ,sad goes for the ones that the series x sits one which are also useless ,both do not give adequate airflow
If your on about the coolers that go in back or series x sits on , they are both useless and don't give adequate airflow from what I've read and seen reviews of .The best option would of been to have another fan pushing air up as well as having the other fan pull the air out .The series x should of been Few inches taller to accommodate the extra fan inside the series x for better airflow .I was going to do some kind of mod for the bottom of the series x but that would mean drilling holes in bottom once the stand is taken off .

Don’t do it. If your console is overheating it’s a defect or user effect or maybe it needs cleaning because it’s dusty etc. And please remember it’s not overheating unless the console is tells you.
It sure does bud I played hrs with it on then took if off to as to see the difference .The temp went way up and the left side started to get very hot again so input it back on and it brought the temp way down that the left side was barely warn .But remember to have the fan so it's pulling the out and not pushing it in ,I've also still got it on a roll tape to keep the intake higher off the surface that it's sat on . Theres also a vid on my channel showing that as well ,yeah looks crude but it works well and even better with the fan sat on top .
This guy is talking nonsense his console has an issue clearly and why would you bodge a temporary fix like this lol you have a warranty use it you melt.
Do you have a series x if you do and its not having any issues then great news for you bud this is for people who want a quick fix for extra cooling in hot areas .I said it from day one of console showcase that the Series X stand is inadequate for the job .Even other hardware users builders have said the same thing .

@@torrieanne5931 setup has nothing to do with it if side by side as only one console used at a time plus as I've said before both consoles are in an open area ,ps5 is now hooked up to my pc monitor and series x is on its own . Running games on series x with this fan on makes the console alot cooler with this fan ,I've even done temp tests which bring the temps down .
I just want to say if your series X is overheating it’s a Defect or user error or maybe the console is too Dusty and blocking up the heat sink. Please no one do this as Series X as optimal cooling with the standard fan. It’s been designed to channel air in such a way and your blocking that. Again if it’s overheating then it’s a defect user error or it’s Dusty. Note If the console is hot it doesn’t mean it’s overheating. If it shuts down and tells you it’s overheating then you go do something. But the more Heat you feel coming out the better
After all these years it's a fucking shame we have to do this but cheers to you man
In this heat here in the south of the UK it has been very hot weather and it's only going to get hotter ,with this fan pulling h=the air out as well it keeps the console super cool .
I saw your video and got mine from amazon 2 days ago. now I'm trying it and I think it's working 👍👍👍
I've had one heating issue with my Xbox series x that 140mm usb fan is a really good idea thank you mate 👊🏾 for the idea I'm going to buy one on Amazon
Your welcome bud i hope that helps you out ,also have another vis where i have the Series X sat on a roll of duct tape to give better air flow from the bottom ,that helps out a lot as well with over heating issues on Series X .
@@k3nn3hakak34 ok interesting I'll keep that in mind
why??? use the warranty ffs these people lol
Why because a shortage of new consoles at the time and i'd rather redo the thermal compound myself than trust a muppet to reapply it when its getting done .But since i've raised it higher the console as in previous vid my over heating issues are gone and when its extremely hot i use the 140mm fan on top which keeps it ultra cool .
@@k3nn3hakak34 Got my replacement in 5 days from Microsoft in uk no point in voiding the warranty
That top part is the exhaust though. The Series x’s intakes are at the bottom and the back of the Xbox. So maybe have the fan behind either of those two vents? Gamer Nexus’ channel have a vid about the Series D’s vacuum system
It's pulling the heat out of the Xbox
Just got my series x and a 140 mm fan on top so it doesn’t get hot. I put the two dust filters on back and the box stays cool. U still get airflow underneath and thru back of the console. Overall the push pull method works great for me.
Did you change you power settings to “Energy Saver” instead of “Instant On”? I’ve noticed a big difference in heat dissipation.
Always used instant on bud ,but as said below prob strip down and put new thermal paste on it
The energy saving mode makes a huge difference for real
I use energy saver to not have the Xbox working flat out the whole time
I'm a bit confused as to why people are putting fans and cooling devices usually from Amazon onto their Xbox? I'm on university break and I'll tell you, I've really pushed this thing every day lmao. As long as it's got open access to air, I can't see why it would over overheat unless maybe ppl are concerned about it blowing out warm air?
I high round on Cod Zombies on my days off so that’s 5-10 hours of gaming and it’s hot and something to cool it down is nice and if doesn’t actually do anything well then it’s the thought that counts
@@alarmedsinger8068 that's totally fair, I've always been paranoid on the side of doing more harm than good but either way I'm sure it's fine
@@GruelingFive8 Agree
I actually have that exact fan in case I have heat issues. I also raised the unit so air can flow into the bottom more easily. I haven't installed the fan yet, but we'll see when 2042 comes out. I understand the top fan needs to blow up...not sure why so many got confused.
Since the weather is getting colder now i've not used the fan myself in a while ,i didn't use it whilst playing 2042 as wanted to see if the Series X would crash but it didn't .What some people don't realise is that Series X is basically a tiny pc and with the power it has it has a lot of heating passing through it ,and when it finally get used to its full potential we shall are going to have some very system hungry games which will push it to it's limit's .
@@k3nn3hakak34 Agreed! Also the worst thing is the aftermarket fan stands...they disrupt what is a complex designed air vortex inside the console. I already found a roll of duct tape and it worked perfectly as a stand boost. What a great idea!
I also ...from day one set the console to completely shut off...mostly because I keep it covered to protect from dust, and I don't need it coming on while covered....not good.
@@hobbycow5346 Yeah those after market fan stands are the worst idea ever ,i did see on ebay some has mad ring stand with an xbox logo on it for £10 ,i was going to buy a 3D printer and make one myself but best bet would be to buy/get a small off cut of 4 -6 inch plumbing tubing for the series x to sit on .But at the moment the X seems fine sat on duct tape .
@@k3nn3hakak34 I like the duct tape better because the edges of the roll are tacky and it has a really nice grip to the bottom of the Xbox! (I put a small piece of wood under the bottom of the roll so it doesn't ruin the dresser it's sitting on.) If I pick up the Xbox, the tape roll is stuck to the bottom of it, so no chance of sliding around.
Happy gaming! 😀
@@hobbycow5346 Very true i noticed that on my Series X with it sticking to the duct tape ,think i'll go buy some black Duct tape tomorrow to match the xbox .
Nice vid K3, simple idea that solves a big problem for some people no doubt. I'll link it in Discord for you too.
Cheers sharky .
Quick question:
How can your system be over heating when I was playing games with my boiler on and room temperature at 80°F and no issues.
I think your system if defective because this hasn’t happened to be since day one.
It's been known that certain systems are over heating due to poor cooling,like not enough or too much thermal paste ,also the airflow design for cooling is absolute $hite
Yeah if you left it in standby mode with some games in quick resume it will get a litle bit hot but is is made to do it. My solution is just close every single game and then shut it down in stadn by and console never gets hot or warmer... takes 20 seconds to get in game so... no rush.
i always close my games bud ,thanks anyway for info where some peeps don't know that .
I've used a 120mm version in my media center to exhaust the air from the consoles and they get the job done with virtually no noise
So my series X I run about 18 hours of straight gameplay and had it overheated. I then moved it a but to have 6inches of space around it now it has ran 18 hours while streaming. The take away is give proper space. Also my room sits at 80-86 degrees farehnheight and it's not over heating.
Does this Series X in the video still work to this day? Has it had any performance issues that affect gameplay besides overheating? Thanks
Xbox still works not had any issues since but will put it through its paces when Battlefield 2042 pops up .Beets should be out in a few weeks so be tested it then on Series X to see if that gives it any issues .
You said push pull - so do you have that fan blowing air into the Xbox’s exhaust?
@@BoogersAndMilk no bud top fan pulls air out blowing air into top fan which is pulling the air out ,keeps Series X extra on those really hot days .
@Logic-man it's pulling the air out bud along with the Xbox fan ,it's super.cool in the hot summer months .
@Logic-man your welcome bud .
I think this is the best solution to the problem. I returned my dust filters, I figured they would restrict airflow.
How did you do that? Any tutorial video? Please answer thx
Please no one do this. The console isn’t overheating unless it tells you. The cooling systems are More than enough adding a change in air flow can Harm performance as it’s designed to push air out in a wide array. If your system feels hot then that’s good as the less heat inside the better
@@ARXInfinite some people’s just turns off with no notifications
@@sonnygray9341 then it’s a power system issue not overheating
@@ARXInfinite I don’t think it’s a power system issue. My Xbox Series X shuts off from overheating only when I play Borderlands 3, nothing else. After playing it for a bit, it gets hot and then at some point the screen flashes and the Xbox turns off with no notifications. My series x is out in the open so I’m not sure what to think about this.
I waited for two years for a brand new Xbox series X
my series x crashes too much now i may have to try this
It works bud it keeps mine nice a cool to the touch especially in the hot summer months ,let us know how you get on .
Will sure keep you posted did your system work fine when you first got it I don’t recall it crashing@@k3nn3hakak34
They also have a cooling fan just for Xbox you can put on the bottom and where the cables go and with that it should be great.
Saw that bud not very good design either as its not raised enough for air intake ,what should of been done was series x was raised abit on top of the stand with a built in cooler at the bottom of series x .
This will be great during the next heat wave. My air conditioner can sometimes struggle.
THis fan running pulling the hot air out of the console keeps it super cool when needed .
not having it in that corner would do wonders for it, had the same issues, so i moved it into an open area and it's been working fine since
Overheats, really? Mine hasn't done that yet. Hopefully it won't
I own the Xbox series X and ps5 I got a few weeks ago and Xbox series X is not overheating at all I've done Tests in my testing the ps5 gets hotter but not one of the consoles have crashed at all but again I did research and the Xbox series X and ps5 that's released in 2020 actually have different parts while the new models have better part's
Yah new batch of console have different parts for better cooling ,with rumours of a new PS5 Pro in the works also a slimmer PS5 with a detachable disc drive and maybe a faster series X .What i would really like to see is a digital only Series x . But these are just rumours at mo so we will have to see .
@@k3nn3hakak34 yeah a didital Xbox series X and a Xbox series s with a disk drive and I wish a different brand of memory cards would release for Xbox there pretty expensive
Liked and sub. Been playing 2k all night. Usually cant get pass like 3 games without it shutting down. Thank u bro. Probably the only solution that works. Got it on the taperoll too lol
Was your console shutting down randomly while playing online?
@@jordanvilla8666 yea
I got the 120mm fan pushing the air up. with a dual fan cooling system for the bottom. That seems to do it for me. It's running way cooler. If u need the link of the cooling system from Amazon lmk. The fan alone might do it but I didn't test it alone yet. I'm sure it will tho.
Nice one bud glad I could help
@@k3nn3hakak34 most definitely. I took so many losses on 2k because of that lol. Thanks again
My sons had his for over a year now. It started shutting off at times and giving the overheating error. Turns out the thermal paste was rock hard and PSU was clogged with dust. Put new paste on, cleaned up the console and removed dust and it’s sorted.
Your prob find out now you've done that ,it'll be reliable for years to come as with most console production the thermal paste is cheap nasty shite so to keep costs down .
@@k3nn3hakak34 Yeah kinda thought that when I seen the state of the old paste! Never seen anything like that and I’ve built numerous PCs 😳
Same here bud been building gaming pc's for over 25 years ,back when Doom was big ,i'm off in a few weeks so might strip mine down and repaste it as it deffo needs doing .
@@k3nn3hakak34 Yeah doesn’t take that long and when it’s done at least you know what kind of state it was in 👍
@@k3nn3hakak34 did you manage to strip it down and reapply the thermal paste?
Get the AC Infinity 140mm fan. It has rubber feet on the top and bottom side of the fan and fits perfect on the bottom side of the Series X. I took the base off the bottom too. My Series X would play back compat games off the external HDD and last gen games from the external SSD all day, no problem. I even play cross gen games from the NVME expansion with no issue. When I play nex gen games from the internal NVME it sometimes shuts down after a few hours. Since then, I put it in ECO mode as well.
I did take the baser plate off mine as was going to do a fan mod ,but there's not enough holes in the bottom to push air through un less i dismantle the series x and drill more holes in the bottom to give it better airflow .I was playing a next gen game on series x with the fan off and it got extremely hot and was very hot to the touch ,so i turn this external fan on and it cooled down very quickly especially in this weather we're having in the uk .Thanks for the other fan info .
Thanks for the tip, just ordered one. cheers
Welcome bud ,just make sure fan is pulling the air out of Series X .
Totally agree the designer is a complete idiot to bot design xbox series x better bloody annoying it keeps crashing with games am 44 and get to the stage cant be bother with it anymore,might just get a fan like this if it helps
This fane keeps my Series x very cool to the touch ,just make sure you have the fan pulling air out of the Series x .
My Xbox Series X turns off all the time in the middle of gaming and yes, it is typically when I just happen to be having an awesome run too. Very frustrating. None of my other Xbox consoles did this.
Try putting Xbox on something to raise it higher for better airflow ,I have mine sat on a roll of tape and that's sorted it for me .It's on another vid on my channel .
@@k3nn3hakak34 I went on Amazon and found the "AC Infinity MULTIFAN S4, Quiet 140mm USB Fan, UL-Certified for Receiver DVR" so hopefully that and the tape roll will work. Thanks again.
@@whitedobie Hi bud it works for me really well ,was playing BF2042 without any issues and my other games as well .
I ordered the 120 version of that fan. Did your system used to cut off?
Well i was plying tThe Division last few days and yesterday game started to stutter every now and then because of the high temp weather and the Series X was very hot .So connected the fan and it cooled it down very quickly ,wasn't even warm to the touch so as i've stated before it keeps the console really cool in the very hot weather .
Just find a tutorial to disassemble your Xbox Series X for cleaning, or just lay it sideways to prevent dust going in easily, and if all else fail, just get a 9 or 10 inch high velocity fan, to blow a high volume of cold air in it, and save tons of time.
Heat disperses quicker when in a vertical position ,yeah looked at break down versions both Series X/S console so be able to do that as been building gaming pc's for years .Have no issues with dust as with both fans running dust doesn't seem to settle in console .Upgraded my PC to a high spec a few months back as pc is my main gaming platform ,but it nice to just sit on the sofa and game rather than sat at a pc desk at times .
I was told never to plug any cooling device into the Xbox itself like that because it draws extra power to try to cool it and it just defeats the purpose?
I've seen external fans that plug into the back of the series x and still give bad extra cooling the external usb fan sits on top as shown and pulls the air out which brings the temp down where it's barely warm whilst playing demanding games .
What I would feel is a better fix is to clean the heatsink clean the old thermal paste on CPU make sure old thermal paste doesn't have any bridging on the capacitors any apply new high performance thermal paste on the CPU, maybe even ultrasonic the fan if you can or give it a 99% alcohol bath to make sure it's super clean or buy a new fan altogether, that is designed for it, I don't suggest this. Maybe as a last and final resort if you live in over 100 degree climate 5 or 6 months out of the year.
My Series X is running fine, but adding onto the cooling system wouldn't hurt. I think I'm going to put the Series X on a mesh desk and put a fan on top of the system. That way, I suppose the fans will be able to blow more air through the console if it's elevated.
Make sure the fan is pulling out of the series x and not blowing into it .
Blowing hot air back into the console not a smart idea! Just put it in horizontal position and u will be fine if u want cool air coming out of it!Thoose huge hools on top and on side and bottom of the xbox series x serves for something! Hot air is supposed to come out from this console plus there's a vapor chamber inside !
The fan is pulling air out not in bud which is giving extra airflow which works really well
I bought some kind of dust filter on Amazon for the series x, not really sure if that defeats the purpose of air flow but I’m going to buy this fan just in case.
I've got some pc fine dust filters and was thinking the same but decided to leave it as it is ,if and when i do get a 3d printer as can't decide on what one yet i'll make some kind of stand as at the moment its resting on top of a roll of tape shown in my previous vid and a kind of top cover to blend the fan with the series x .But what put the series x through its paces is flight sim which is out on 22nd July ,i''l try it without the fan on top to see if that brings the series and how much heat that creates .Then plug the fan in and see if it gets warm at all running at 60fps 4K as when this fans plugged in its super cool to the touch .
For the money ppl spent on Xbox, they shouldn't have to do this
Best thing you can do to keep an Xbox Box Series X cool is DON'T MODIFY THE COOLING SYSTEM! It was engineered to direct air flow in the proper places, changing that airflow can cause premature component failure... Stand it vertically and don't crowd stuff around it. (Like this guy has his standing in a corner next to another heat generator... BAD) We live in a rural area, in an old house without any air conditioning but good air flow. Our computers, electronics and gaming devices function fine, even in the summer because of good airflow around them. Like any electronic device, it's good to keep them dust free as possible, so filters are okay (as long as you remember to clean them) but modifying the cooling system is pretty much a NO-GO. It's not rocket science.
I don’t like the Xbox Series X design, I like the Series S design better
Agree with you there bud ,the overall design does make it run cooler .
It's too close to the PlayStation all the hot air from the PlayStation is going inside the Xbox
I just put small usb fan in front of the air entry at the back of the xbox. Cool as cucumber
I hope when they redesign Series X which they will at some point that they make the airflow better ,like with a raised stand with 2 small intake fans at the bottom blowing air each side of the console .
@Mohamad Sallehin Could you upload a quick video of it?
@@julianramos1360 not a youtuber. Huhu. I just bought 5$ small usb desk fan. Connect to the usb port of xbox, pointing at the air entry at the xbox sx at the back.

@@julianramos1360 sorry my english's not so good
I literally live in a Sahelian country (Sénégal) with no AC in my living room. Never have I experienced this with my series X hooked to my C1. If your unit is faulty, please send it back for cleaning or replacement
Nothing to do with the overheating but is your Xbox connected to the internet using an Ethernet cable?
I’ve had to remove mine and use the WiFi as it constantly disconnects or slows down with a wired connection.
My Xbox always is and almost always will be connected using ethernet. I absolutely hate Wi-Fi. Through Ethernet my Xbox downloads anywhere from 600mbps to 1.1Gbps. If I use Wi-Fi this is drastically reduced from 100 to 300. Wi-Fi is good only if you have to use it. You should always use ethernet when and where you can. For example if your neighbors are running on a 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz Channel, this could interfere with your 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz and cause your Internet to slow. Over ethernet you get no such interference. The only devices in my house that use Wi-Fi is my phone and tablet. Everything else I will only have on ethernet. Ethernet is just better and faster.
It's warm on the side cus that's where the power supply is based at.buy a fan controller if u want it to run cooler.
Eso es tremenda ideal el abanico que le te quedó bien porque enfría brutal Yo también lo hice y no calienta nada nada nada lo mismo le dice a PlayStation 5 también le puse 8 abanico alrededor pero acostado porque acostado el sistema no calienta y no da ningún problema meses yo la PlayStation 5 el mío yo lo tengo acostado y la temperatura que mida de caliente de 45 manada y con los abanico me baja a 35
Very weird yours is overheating. It is normal for the sides of the Xbox to be warm to the touch. Not hot that it will burn you. But normal for it to be warm. I have had mine for a year and it is still whisper quiet and runs really cool. Even under load and gaming I can never hear it. It is exhausting a lot of hot air, but I can't hear it. You should have taken yours in for a warranty repair.
Thermal compound gone dry already huh
You heat fins might be full of dust. Vacuumed them out be perfectly with this mod as well..
So is this over heating problem common on series X? Now I’m worried about buying one.
I think it's just a slight percentage of them as Evey console has a few issues during launch ,mine hasn't had any issues since I've raised it and in the very hot summer months I've had the fan on keeping it even cooler
@@k3nn3hakak34 thanks!
I had the same idea but bought the wrong bloody fan but if it works it works 👍
The Xbox Series X doesn't have a cooling fan. It just has an exhaust fan.
I'm doing Forza horizon 5 AFK and my Xbox will be running for 9 hours straight hope it survives this is a good shout
How did it run?
How many hours you have your Xbox series x on with that without any overheating problems? I like to play long hours but afraid of breaking the console lol
i only used the fan when its really hot as in summer months as it gets very hot in the SW of UK ,but since i've had it raised on the roll of tape as in previous vid .The airflow is so much better ,ive played for many hours 8hrs plus if not longer gaming sesh with no issues .So when its raised on roll of tape with the external fan pulling air out the console is really cool now on the sides ,where as before i they were so hot i couldn't touch them for long .
Most people who have heating issues with system it’s because people either block air flow or restrict air flow. If you put it on its side! I’m sure it wouldn’t over heat.
On its side expelling the warm air isn't efficient as having it vertical as the right hand side of the console will be face down and will get really hot .
Yea I have to contest that theory mines free balling on its side now and it gets hot
Yeah cable management needs sorting but been very busy these last few weeks and just had BT 900 installed so i will be redoing that at some point when i know how i want my setup ,cheers all hope you like the vid if you do a nice thumbs up or down if you dislike .
Did this fix your crashing issue?
Yes bud it did fix my crashing ,also stopped the series x from getting way to hot in the hot weather we've had here in the uk .

@@francislash Here's my first vid of issue's of Series X crashing th-cam.com/video/abHw_sVIs4o/w-d-xo.html this method increases the airflow ,yes its crude but raising the console a bit higher stopped it crashing .The roll of tape with the fan pushing the warm out out really does help .Or you could just us a black piece of 4 inch diameter tubing .
@@k3nn3hakak34 the fan worked man. Thanks. No more crashing :)
@@francislash Your welcome bud glad i could help .
If my xbox series s fan is not working does this help?
If your fan isn't working and series x is still under warranty send it back ,you can also get a replacement fan and fox it yourself a very easy process to do ,but this external fan does pull out a load of heat which is great for when playing on hot summer days nights
If the fan is blowing downward not upwards then all the dust etc thats in the air is getting sucked in by the fan and is being forced down into the system which is more harmful then helping
Fan is pulling air out bud not in
Does the Xbox turn of ?
Mine gets hot at the top but that's where its ment to iv played on mine for 6hrs non stop never had it shut down yes it was hot but if it detects its over heating you will get a message saying so and it will shut down ps also depends if you have it near a heat source like radiator or your room is hot anyway as if its pulling air in to cool and the air is hot then the fan can't do what its ment to and cool it down
Ya this is not normal. You have a warranty, use it. There is no reason you should need to do this.
Never had a problem with mine had it over a year sounds like somethings wrong with your Xbox
I never experienced overheating on my xbox maybe because mine was made this April I guess.
Yeah could be ,just been hammering Insurgency for a good few hours and Series X is quite cool ,we'll see how it is when BF 2042 beta comes out next week .
There are two revisions of a Series X as there are two revisions of the PS5. Mine is March 2022 Rev2 with post Covid sourced better quality components. Mine is also totally silent and has the "anti heat soak" fan off design as an added benefit. When I turn mine off it still draws 30 watts and the fan still continues to spin for 2-5 minutes depending how much load I had the console under prior to switching off. Rev 1 units from 2020/2021 turn off the fan immediately and the heat soak in the CPU/GPU/RAM area is well above rated limits. Over time this is what fries the thermal paste. Combine this with early Series X "lower" quality components and I can see why you stuck that fan on top of yours! PS5 is better as it uses liquid silver however even these will begin to start failing dependent on use and loads prior to switching off. So. The Rev 2 Series X are excellent and the one to buy. LIKE THEY ALWAYS SAY..............."NEVER BUY THE FIRST ITERATION OF ANYTHING!" Always wait for Rev 2 or even 3. LOL.;-)))
Very nice to hear bud ,i've not had to use the fan much as weather been abit cold in the UK ,i've been hammering Elden Ring on my series X to see how it handles that and i must say no issues so far ,but wee shall see when the hotter weather comes along ,also your correct never buy consoles on release as there do tend to be issues with new hardware being released .
@@k3nn3hakak34 Cheers mate!
The components aren’t of lower quality as instead Console launch models always have the best quality hardware and then as newer revisions come about they use cost cutting techniques which lower the price of the systems
A brand newly manufactured Xbox Series X isn’t any better quality than one manufactured at or near launch as there’s been no major revision of components at this point !
@@technologylord4017 Well. I do not need any extra fans on mine. No CTD's no heat warnings no shutdowns. It runs perfectly.
@@theaustralianconundrum I agree with what you said as far as these Xbox Series X Consoles should absolutely not need any extra fan in order to remain cool and so if they’re overheating in normal room temperatures in a proper area with air flow then yea that’s a defect !
I’m sorry. But your console is defective because cooling on the series x is Top class. And the designers Have done a Amazing good. The cooling is more than enough. And Is your Xbox Turning off and telling you it’s overheating? Because if it’s not then it’s not overheating just because it feels hot Doesn’t mean it is. The more heat you feel coming from the top the better less heat inside the better. Please don’t criticise anyone who has designed this system they know what they are doing. Xbox has some of the best Engineers in the world it’s cooling system is Better than high end GPU’s RTX 3090 etc. Big vapour chamber cooling APU and system Ram. I highly doubt yourself could do a better job not meaning to sound rude but you clearly don’t understand the design choices.
is the air blowing up or down
Air is blowing up bud making series x super cool
How much diffrence
HI bud keeps my Series X really cool and cool to the touch ,i have the air being pulled out of he console and it does make a huge difference ,hopefully when they bring out the newer model it'll have better cooling .
I don't have any heating issues on mines. Works fine.
My does has well however after I play for quite a few hours mine will crash and I have to reboot it
This guy is obviously trolling.. if anyone's series x was overheating there is something wrong with jt and you need to warranty it, even I'm 120 degree Temps outside in the summer..
Didn't designed it properly?
No bud could of been designed abit better for cooling as some reviewers have said
Is that actually working?
Yes bud it actually keeping it a lot cooler than the stock cool on its own ,with the external fan pulling air out as well Series x is cool to the touch .
Bro, that usb fan on your xsx is wrong direction air flow.
The fan is pulling the air out bud ,not blowing into XSX which would really mess the airflow up .So basically the XSX fan is pulling the air out pushing it to the external fan ,which it is then pulling the air out .In other words both fans are pulling the air out increasing the airflow out of the console .
You should plug it using a usb battery. Then you don't need power from your Xbox.
Change the system to horizontal and you will see the difference. Mine work just warm in that position.
If i put mine in the horizontal position it would heat up even more ,try lifting it up when its been on for a good few hrs and see how long you can keep your hand touching the underside for abit .Mine without the fan on hits 90/91 degrees as been testing with a temp gun now to play flight sim and put Series X through its paces .
@@k3nn3hakak34 too bad to hear that, could be a bad application of thermal paste from the factory
@@raohdensetsu yeah that was what I was thinking ,might strip it down and redo the paste myself but seemed stable playing flight SIM last night

@@k3nn3hakak34 That's normal lmao. That's where the heat sink is of course it's gonna be hot. Your really think when Microsoft said you can lay it down horizontally is a lie? They test tf outta these things.
Maybe don’t have it in a corner with an inch of room
You don't really even need another fan like they wouldn't sell inexpensive console what tell you oh yeah you need to make sure you need to buy another USB fan just to make sure it's 100% cool no
I will say one thing tho , I do believe that the summer heat is playing a part in Xbox getting more warmer than usual so I wouldn’t panic too much if anything I think 30min to a hours rest at a time should help
You have it set up next 2 the Sony tower heater no wonder it's overheating
It was over heating before i had them both side by side bud .
I'm pretty sure Microsoft has been doing this ship for a long time they build PCS for crying out loud
And that's why they make cooling stations
Of your on about the ones that plug on the back those are useless from what I've read and seen ,sad goes for the ones that the series x sits one which are also useless ,both do not give adequate airflow
If your on about the coolers that go in back or series x sits on , they are both useless and don't give adequate airflow from what I've read and seen reviews of .The best option would of been to have another fan pushing air up as well as having the other fan pull the air out .The series x should of been Few inches taller to accommodate the extra fan inside the series x for better airflow .I was going to do some kind of mod for the bottom of the series x but that would mean drilling holes in bottom once the stand is taken off .
Huh either way it like one X jets most of the heat out which is effective but yes a extra fan would probably help
Is that really helps with crashes and freezing?
Helps from over heating....I forget my fan on sometimes its so quiet.
Does overheating make that issue like crashing games?
@@CryptoPS4gamer i read that it happens on some games like Warzone...I haven't had any issues myself.
Ok thanks a lot
@@CryptoPS4gamer in my experiences my system will cut off playing 2k and cod. After doing this it has not cut off and I been on it non stop pretty much so this does work. I was about to send the system for a replacement.
i do a fan speed mod to my xbox. video in my profile
Very nice mod bud ,have you got a vid on how you did it so others can do it if they want to .
@@k3nn3hakak34 I'm going to next time I gotta do a cleaning on my Xbox and go over everything
that console looks closterphobic, no wonder. let it BREATH man
Console has plenty of airflow even next to PS5 ,not used fan for a while as weather is quite cold so i only use on hot summer when its really hot .
Nice one bro mines just come
Your welcome bud my series x is really cool with this fan pulling the heat out .
Is the fan help provide not crashing and freezing games?
@@CryptoPS4gamer yes bud my series x is cold to the touch now , where as before it was quite warm or really hot before I had it raised on a roll of tape .
Ok thanks
@@CryptoPS4gamer just remember to make sure it pulls the air out .
Lol not enough room that's why it's overheating lol
No need for that bro.
have anyone tried the fan mod?
Don’t do it. If your console is overheating it’s a defect or user effect or maybe it needs cleaning because it’s dusty etc. And please remember it’s not overheating unless the console is tells you.
IS IT STILL KEEPING IT COOL THINKING OF GETTING ONE IF IT KEEPS IT COOLER
It sure does bud I played hrs with it on then took if off to as to see the difference .The temp went way up and the left side started to get very hot again so input it back on and it brought the temp way down that the left side was barely warn .But remember to have the fan so it's pulling the out and not pushing it in ,I've also still got it on a roll tape to keep the intake higher off the surface that it's sat on . Theres also a vid on my channel showing that as well ,yeah looks crude but it works well and even better with the fan sat on top .
@@k3nn3hakak34 cool getting mine today ordered one with a speed control on thanks for this great idea 💡 😁

This guy is talking nonsense his console has an issue clearly and why would you bodge a temporary fix like this lol you have a warranty use it you melt.
Do you have a series x if you do and its not having any issues then great news for you bud this is for people who want a quick fix for extra cooling in hot areas .I said it from day one of console showcase that the Series X stand is inadequate for the job .Even other hardware users builders have said the same thing .
@@k3nn3hakak34 You talk a load of nonsense think I’d rather listen to gamers nexus who knows what he’s talking about the cooling system on series x is good 👍
@@TheJms1977 If you go watch gamers nexus series x heat testing you will see at 24 mins plus he even says that the series x could have a better cooling solution and as a gamer who's been building gaming pcs for over 26 years i know about cooling a rig down ,The series X could of had a better cooling solution than what it has now ,with more air in take which you would get if the series x stand was a bit higher .
Is the fan blowing air down or sucking air out thank you
No the fan is blowing up otherwise if it was blowing down into the console it would eventually overheat .
G story fan
This is bullshit and doesn't work!!! I saw posts like this and have the money to try.... Don't waste your time. I did it for you!!!
Works for me bud and other as well ,just make sure you have the fan pulling air out and not blowing into the console .
I'm sick and tired of you guys always given the Xbox series X terrible credit or the Xbox 360 or the Xbox One all the Xboxes they made you give them terrible credit the PS5 is dogshit look at it would look at it how it looks it looks disgusting we're going to do a plain PS4 black and white always oh yeah I'm a PS5 I'm going to put on 8K
PUT THAT FUCKING DISC IN THE FUCKING CASE!!!!!!!!!! You call yourself a gamer! I dont trust anyone who keeps discs out.
Man i already hate my xbox since day 1 and heating in forza fifa and now 2k cant even play a single match with out crushing and shuting down and got it for like 700 dollars i regret every cent spend it on that sh.t
And dont make me star about freezing and frame dropping they gona make me buy ps5 and i hate ps so its a lose lose sitution
Sorry to hear that phone m$ support and get xbox repaired or if they can't do that your get a replacement .PS5 is a good system and I've heard that some have issues with that as well . I've also got a Series S in the bedroom and to be honest that's more stable than the Series X and yes I know it's less powerful but still a great system .Have you tried placing the Xbox on something so it's raised abit higher when vertical ,also try keeping the Xbox on top of a unit or table and not in a cabinet .
