indeed. I replaced the thermal compound in mine about 2 weeks ago and started giving it a kick in the guts with COD Modern Warfare, I nearly took it apart again to make sure the fan was connected because whilst it seemed to function perfectly, it was seemingly impossibly quiet, no fan noise at all! what compound did you use? I used Arctic Silver 5
Thanks again UFIXTEK! My thermal paste was all dried out and using your guide I was able to repaste the Xbox One X. Thank you! Much appreciated. The fan is much more quiet now, almost silent! Resident Evil 7’s Main menu had been making my Xbox One X overheat, your guide fixed this problem!

I want to Thank you for this instructional how-to-video! I bought my XBox One X in 2017 refurbished from Gamestop. I had performed no maintenance from the time I bought it. Just kept it clean. I decided it was time to crack it open. I followed your video step by step. When I lifted up the heat sink off the CPU to my horror the Thermal paste was almost all gone and it was dry and flaky with tacky parts here and there. No wonder my fan started up immediatly when I turned the system on. After an hour and a half the system was up and running quieter then it has ever been. I kept checking it thinking the fan wasn't working as it was just so quiet! Muchas Gracias!

Great teardown video - Thanks for being so thorough! Huge respect for the amount of detail you put into each step, especially how you made sure to fully explain the importance of the ribbon cable lock at 6:50 , as well as the detail you put into how to take off the CPU’s x-clamp at 12:20 . Lastly, thanks for doing a full beginning to end video - made it much easier to step through the video from my perspective. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I did this today and thank you so much for this guide! Worked perfectly with no issues, and my Xbox went from being as loud as my vacuum cleaner to completely silent! I had to double check if I messed something up in the fan assembly because of how quiet it is now. I'm going to try replacing the HDD with a SSD whenever I can get my hands on one in the near future. Thank you for the excellent video!
Nice work! Thank you! for the feedback and your support to the channel by SUB :P if there is any help you need in the future or request feel free to ask me, note here is a video for the SSD installation: th-cam.com/video/QsI0GqoemN4/w-d-xo.html
its not hard , if you want to clone your XBOX hdd to a ssd, you will need the following: A PC or laptop with two usb ports: you will need a two sata to usb adapter: amzn.to/3tXjvLD and you will need a program called "Macrium Reflect" and you can remove the xbox hdd and plug into adapter and plug your new ssd into another adapter and use the program to clone the hdd -ssd.
@@uFixTek I read online that cloning your data from the HDD to the SSD can cause the SSD to be slower than if you do a fresh install of the OS, is that true?
yes and no, Yes it will be slower but we talking about seconds not a big %, but recommended is always fresh install. its like trying to say i have intel cpu, if i put a 3400mhz ram is faster than 2400mhz , but in reality the differences are not even noticeable. but in amd cpu then sure the differences from 2400mhz to 3400mhz are very noticeable, same goes for cloning lets say its somewhere in between

Great video. I have to repair mine tomorrow and your tutorial is perfect, because I was planning to change the paste and I don't want to buy new thermal pads. Copper can be polished also with acetone, the nail polish remover. Just don't touch plastic or rubber components with it.

@@uFixTek your more than welcome I actually searched for this video due to my xbox crashing while I'm gaming every so often telling me the ventilation is blocked although it sits well away from anything else and after doing some research and asking others I was told to replace the thermal paste and clean it inside getting rid of any dust inside the console do you think this will stop the issue my xbox has at all?
okay do this 1st , open it up and dont remove the heatsink. just disconnect the fan 1st (very important) then use a compressed air (gas station air its stronger ) or i highly recommend to keep one of this at home , its very use full and powerful 100X better than the air can spray that its moist air and not powerful , amzn.to/3clpDro use this to clean the fan and the board and the fins of the heatsink. and then test it out and you will get it going. No need to replace the paste at 1st. NOTE: its very important to disconnect the fan jack from motherboard before blowing air into fan , the reason is that the fan will generate voltage and it will backfire into motherboard. so disconnect the fan always for any electronics.
@@uFixTek thank you for your response it's very much appreciated the reason I was going to use the thermal paste is because the xbox fan goes really loud at times like when loading a game or just doing stuff in a game then all of a sudden it just crashes on me

Ive done the repair but disks arent going in. When i press disk eject button it plays the normal sound but it wont let me put it in. Have i put the drive in incorrectly?
And also didnt solve my issue. In high intensity games (Forza, COD, EA FC 24), the xbox turns off in the menu. When i turn it back on it does not display an error message. I have done a PSU replacement, repasted, cleaned it out, hard reset and factory reset, but the issue is still happening. What can it be?
the issue that you facing is mostly because of bad hard drive, the HDD is this system fail a lot, i do get this issue a lot in the store and the main cause of it is a bad hard drive. replace the HDD with another hdd 2.5 i recommend you: amzn.to/49orV4n and install the OS via USB drive: th-cam.com/video/xWW7M8pgFEo/w-d-xo.html trust me your problem is from the hard drive. cheers🍻 This is an Amazon affiliate link.

This vid was a great help! My Xbox kept turning off whenever I loaded a game of warzone. The game now loads, however the fan is still really loud! Any ideas what it could be? Thanks in advance
Glad it helped, Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P regarding your issue, warzone it is a very demanding GPU load. the only two reason that the fan gets lound are the following: the heatsink is dirty or the heatsink is not placed perfectly on the GPU/CPU (but if its not set perfectly the game or console should turnoff or crash after max 15min gaming) if no crash after 15min of gaming, then its ok let the fan spin as fast as it wants as there is no harm for it ,it will push out the air faster out :P
@@uFixTek thanks for replying. The Xbox does indeed turn off within a couple mins. I have taken it apart again, cleaned the chip and reapplied the paste and ensured it was for correctly and still turns off. Any other ideas or any tips to ensure its put back properly? Thanks again
@@ZuLqYaH i need you to do the following steps: #1. remove the motherboard completely #2. place the board over a old wood table (nothing with fabric or plastic) #3. make sure there is no fan blowing air or the room is not cold (no A/C units) work at room temp. #4. once placed the board on a table, grab a hair dryer. set the hair dryer to max heat and low or medium air. #5. point it straight on top of the CPU with a 1" distance. and keep it there for 6-8min #6. remove the heat and LET IT COOL down ON ITS OWN. don't rush the cooling my placing fan or anything let it cool down 10min. DON't move the board for 10min. after 10-15 min repast and test it out. reasons is that because of the over heating that you had before there is a high chance that a solder ball under the CPU is cracked or resisting a voltage, with this DIY you doing a refllow. note the external heat that is applied wont damage the chip, the internal working heat is much different than external.
Thank you i made it through in 2 hours. I changed pads as well. Xbbox is working. But ill test it while plaing forza 4k. I hope i pit enough paste and pads sqeez enough so cpu is touching. If not well it will shut down 😂
Thank you! for the feedback and your support to the channel by SUB :P Sorry for late reply i was out of town, and i hope it can handle the 4K games :P but try not to push it to 4K
Not true at all unless you are using a different thermal paste that was not used in this video, if you using Artic silver 5 then that paste its more harder. but if you using the MX4 no the amount of the paste wont do any damage or shut down. we have tested with excessive over done MX4 and same result. therefore not all paste have the same properties, some are more softer and some very thick. if you placed the MX4 and its shutting down then its not because of the extra paste. maybe your heat-sink is not sitting properly on the cpu.
Dude, I did it exactly as instructed you in the video. but after folding and turning on, the xbox logo lights up, the console beeps, then about 5 seconds it beeps again and turns off, the logo goes out. don't you know where the problem might be? HDMI port left during disassembly? I'm confused about it properly.
thank you! for the feedback and your support to the channel by SUB :P Regarding your question: i would like you to re do everything and make sure the heatsink is really touching the cpu, this happens alot with people they think the heatsink is flat with cpu but a slight movement it makes the difference, and double check all the connectors. its not broken that is for sure. you just need to adjust the heatsink and make sure dont use a cheap thermal paste else it will get worse.

why on the reverse side of the board there are oxides on the edges of copper and on the board white clouds are incomprehensible ... explain what it is!? I tried to wipe it off! but then I see it doesn't wipe off !
no need to worry about those , its a especial bath flux that they use in factories , its in all xboxes starting from 360. these flux when it dried up it turn to this white compound . its not conductive nor oxidizing.
@@uFixTek I tried to wash it, but it does not wash and stopped rubbing, that is, they are coming from the factory ??? why is it easy to wash off the paste? good coating on them ... varnish from the factory ?thank!
you dont need to touch or clean that flux oxide. they been coming out of factory since xbox 360. even some PS3s its the materials that they use in factory no need to worry about them.
@@uFixTek I assembled and disassembled And touched everything with my bare hands How to find out that static electricity did not say anything on the board. It seems that everything works! What kind of thermal paste and gum do you like for the rest of the parts and of normal quality, almost like a blue-green and white square at the factory if you change it! Thanks !
Thanks many videos disassembly but none re assembly! last time i pay to change thermal paste, today i disassembly to put a SSD and next week change thermal paste again, saddly the "tecnician" broke 3 plastics of my xbox :( but they are not important things at least :)

It was a type I got with a cool master all in one liquid cooler I used a bit of nail polish remover to clean the old paste off I have striped down and rebuilt a dozen gameing PCs using this method thanks for the fast reply
then something is not sitting right in there, its not making a flat contact with CPU, use a thicket paste and see the difference. this paste is thicket and much better: amzn.to/3c2wkP1 BUT it shouldn't turn off with your paste double check if the heatsink is sitting flat on cpu.
My the copper part on my heat sink is majorly discolored, like grey! Do I need to get a new heat sink or just clean this one?? Because after I replaced my thermal paste my Xbox no longer over heats but the fan still sounds like a jet engine.

@@uFixTek ok sweet, I’ll shoot you a sub. Do you have any idea why my fan still runs super loud though while playing x enhanced games? Like it’s not hot at all the fan just decides to put it in hyperdrive.
@@cosmicjoker8547 im sorry but i have no idea why youtube place most of the comments in the spam list!! sorry about it, i don't know if you got around regarding the fan, but try using a thick paste like amzn.to/3sqFvzC this paste is thick and it would do the job better. please leave new comment if you trying to reply.
@@OneBronxBoy awesome thanks, I’m getting ready to do mine soon as the paste gets here Monday. Would it power down and then say it shutdown cause ventilation issues ? Like a message pop up as soon as you re turn on your console ?
@@silvesterSTillSTONED make sure you ONLY wipe clean and apply paste on the top of the cpu like he said in the video. It should turn on like normal after that and it won’t crash do to cpu over heating.
yes you can touch it with your hands and move it nothing will happen just dont rub your hands on your head or on your t-shirt. just before touching the motherboard touch a metal frame and you will be ok touching the motherboard.
there are no white thermal pads, if you mean the blueish thermal pads, then no you do NOT need to replace them at all , just replace the thermal paste with: amzn.to/3qgsJBm or : amzn.to/39vGfKo Thank you for the support and feedback
uFixTek interesting you think i should replace the thermal pads along with replacing the thermal paste? I noticed my one x fan has gotten noticeably louder and im not sure if it’s because the thermal paste is dried out or because i have the one x vertical
@@uFixTek yeah no problem prnt.sc/xtdijg . Anyway, sorry, great video, very helpful, thanks a lot. But i have the doubt if put the xclamp that way affects to the performance because i did exactly that
OMG JESUS THAT can short and kill the motherboard , flip it back to its normal position my friend , that is very wrong!! you need to pull the heatsink to the motherboard and thats a wrong way of doing and you can short the caps.
OMG im sorry i didn't pay too much attention to the picture i think i saw that the xclamp was flipped the inside out :P now i get you, and no it doesnt do any difference the rotation (not flipped ). sorry i didnt get you at 1st
Please could you help me? Where can I find a copper solution cleaner on Amazon that’s ships to uk because I’ve been looking everywhere and I cant find it please could you help me out? The mg chemicals does not ship to the U.K
it doesn't have to be copper solution in liquid , you can use any silver cleaner or even a Vinegar mix with baking soda. you should be able to find silver cleaner paste or liquid in the city , i dont know any Uk sites, sorry. thank you for the feedback and your support to the channel my friend

ok, you need to go back and recheck the heatsink its maybe not sitting flat on the cpu, double check your contact points on heatsink, and what paste are you using?
jajajja 😊Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P if you have any question or request in the future feel free to ask me.
@1:04 i show you the type of the screw driver i used, and if you want to know what screws you have in the console, this video is made for those who need to clean and repaste, its not meant to tell you what type of screws it has inside and what type of plastic its using for casing, and type of fan and etc... but if you want to know something in particular mention in the comment and i will be glad to assist you.
we have tested with multiple lines or xshape and the best test came on multiple lines, we do this on daily bases and testing a lot, much appreciate your feedback and if you feel like placing dot its totally fine my friend. th-cam.com/video/GgXVw0M2ch0/w-d-xo.html
@@uFixTek can do all the testing you want, cleanup and re application in this vid is unacceptable I’d be furious if I paid top dollar and got lazy workmanship
This is not a lazy workmanship its the best result for the CPU /GPU. again this method works the best but if you feel otherwise then skip the video. all my clients are satisfied and zero issue for years, and that's what it counts.

I replaced the thermal compound in mine about 2 weeks ago and started giving it a kick in the guts with COD Modern Warfare, I nearly took it apart again to make sure the fan was connected because whilst it seemed to function perfectly, it was seemingly impossibly quiet, no fan noise at all!
what compound did you use? I used Arctic Silver 5
Thanks again UFIXTEK! My thermal paste was all dried out and using your guide I was able to repaste the Xbox One X. Thank you! Much appreciated. The fan is much more quiet now, almost silent! Resident Evil 7’s Main menu had been making my Xbox One X overheat, your guide fixed this problem!

I want to Thank you for this instructional how-to-video! I bought my XBox One X in 2017 refurbished from Gamestop. I had performed no maintenance from the time I bought it. Just kept it clean. I decided it was time to crack it open. I followed your video step by step. When I lifted up the heat sink off the CPU to my horror the Thermal paste was almost all gone and it was dry and flaky with tacky parts here and there. No wonder my fan started up immediatly when I turned the system on. After an hour and a half the system was up and running quieter then it has ever been. I kept checking it thinking the fan wasn't working as it was just so quiet! Muchas Gracias!

I did this today and thank you so much for this guide! Worked perfectly with no issues, and my Xbox went from being as loud as my vacuum cleaner to completely silent! I had to double check if I messed something up in the fan assembly because of how quiet it is now. I'm going to try replacing the HDD with a SSD whenever I can get my hands on one in the near future.

note here is a video for the SSD installation:
th-cam.com/video/QsI0GqoemN4/w-d-xo.html
@@uFixTek I've seen this video but I don't know how to transfer the data from the old drive to the new one
its not hard , if you want to clone your XBOX hdd to a ssd, you will need the following:
A PC or laptop with two usb ports:
you will need a two sata to usb adapter:
amzn.to/3tXjvLD
and you will need a program called "Macrium Reflect"
and you can remove the xbox hdd and plug into adapter and plug your new ssd into another adapter and use the program to clone the hdd -ssd.
@@uFixTek I read online that cloning your data from the HDD to the SSD can cause the SSD to be slower than if you do a fresh install of the OS, is that true?
yes and no,
Yes it will be slower but we talking about seconds not a big %,
but recommended is always fresh install.
its like trying to say i have intel cpu, if i put a 3400mhz ram is faster than 2400mhz , but in reality the differences are not even noticeable.
but in amd cpu then sure the differences from 2400mhz to 3400mhz are very noticeable,
same goes for cloning lets say its somewhere in between

@@uFixTek your more than welcome I actually searched for this video due to my xbox crashing while I'm gaming every so often telling me the ventilation is blocked although it sits well away from anything else and after doing some research and asking others I was told to replace the thermal paste and clean it inside getting rid of any dust inside the console do you think this will stop the issue my xbox has at all?
okay do this 1st , open it up and dont remove the heatsink. just disconnect the fan 1st (very important) then use a compressed air (gas station air its stronger ) or i highly recommend to keep one of this at home , its very use full and powerful 100X better than the air can spray that its moist air and not powerful ,
amzn.to/3clpDro
use this to clean the fan and the board and the fins of the heatsink.
and then test it out and you will get it going. No need to replace the paste at 1st.
NOTE: its very important to disconnect the fan jack from motherboard before blowing air into fan , the reason is that the fan will generate voltage and it will backfire into motherboard. so disconnect the fan always for any electronics.
@@uFixTek thank you for your response it's very much appreciated the reason I was going to use the thermal paste is because the xbox fan goes really loud at times like when loading a game or just doing stuff in a game then all of a sudden it just crashes on me

I have done a PSU replacement, repasted, cleaned it out, hard reset and factory reset, but the issue is still happening. What can it be?

This vid was a great help! My Xbox kept turning off whenever I loaded a game of warzone. The game now loads, however the fan is still really loud!
Any ideas what it could be?
Thanks in advance
Glad it helped, Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P
regarding your issue, warzone it is a very demanding GPU load. the only two reason that the fan gets lound are the following:
the heatsink is dirty or the heatsink is not placed perfectly on the GPU/CPU (but if its not set perfectly the game or console should turnoff or crash after max 15min gaming)
if no crash after 15min of gaming, then its ok let the fan spin as fast as it wants as there is no harm for it ,it will push out the air faster out :P
@@uFixTek thanks for replying. The Xbox does indeed turn off within a couple mins. I have taken it apart again, cleaned the chip and reapplied the paste and ensured it was for correctly and still turns off.
Any other ideas or any tips to ensure its put back properly?
Thanks again
@@ZuLqYaH i need you to do the following steps:
#1. remove the motherboard completely
#2. place the board over a old wood table (nothing with fabric or plastic)
#3. make sure there is no fan blowing air or the room is not cold (no A/C units) work at room temp.
#4. once placed the board on a table, grab a hair dryer. set the hair dryer to max heat and low or medium air.
#5. point it straight on top of the CPU with a 1" distance. and keep it there for 6-8min
#6. remove the heat and LET IT COOL down ON ITS OWN. don't rush the cooling my placing fan or anything let it cool down 10min.
DON't move the board for 10min.
after 10-15 min repast and test it out.
reasons is that because of the over heating that you had before there is a high chance that a solder ball under the CPU is cracked or resisting a voltage, with this DIY you doing a refllow. note the external heat that is applied wont damage the chip, the internal working heat is much different than external.
Which screwdriver did you use for the heatsink panel screws 😢

Thank you for your support for the channel
@@uFixTek thank you so much Man
anytime my friend
Thank you i made it through in 2 hours. I changed pads as well. Xbbox is working. But ill test it while plaing forza 4k. I hope i pit enough paste and pads sqeez enough so cpu is touching. If not well it will shut down 😂
Thank you! for the feedback and your support to the channel by SUB :P
Sorry for late reply i was out of town, and i hope it can handle the 4K games :P but try not to push it to 4K
You should mention that too much thermal past can cause the Xbox to instantly shut off!! Now I need to restart!
Not true at all unless you are using a different thermal paste that was not used in this video, if you using Artic silver 5 then that paste its more harder. but if you using the MX4 no the amount of the paste wont do any damage or shut down. we have tested with excessive over done MX4 and same result.
therefore not all paste have the same properties, some are more softer and some very thick.
if you placed the MX4 and its shutting down then its not because of the extra paste. maybe your heat-sink is not sitting properly on the cpu.
Dude, I did it exactly as instructed you in the video. but after folding and turning on, the xbox logo lights up, the console beeps, then about 5 seconds it beeps again and turns off, the logo goes out. don't you know where the problem might be? HDMI port left during disassembly? I'm confused about it properly.
thank you! for the feedback and your support to the channel by SUB :P
Regarding your question: i would like you to re do everything and make sure the heatsink is really touching the cpu, this happens alot with people they think the heatsink is flat with cpu but a slight movement it makes the difference, and double check all the connectors. its not broken that is for sure. you just need to adjust the heatsink and make sure dont use a cheap thermal paste else it will get worse.

hello, is there a way to contact you somewhere i wanted some help with my asus rog strix gl502vm laptop
to give more context i wanted help with replacing both fans, i saw your videos on it and saw how the left fan has a huge tape connecting to the back on the motherboard and was wondering how i could deal with that. appreciate any help
sure my friend give me a few hours and i will get back at you, and give you my email so i can help you better. thank you for the support to the channel :)
@@uFixTek hey sry if i am late to respond, my email is dragonplaysgamlive@gmail.com
why on the reverse side of the board there are oxides on the edges of copper and on the board white clouds are incomprehensible ... explain what it is!? I tried to wipe it off! but then I see it doesn't wipe off !
no need to worry about those , its a especial bath flux that they use in factories , its in all xboxes starting from 360. these flux when it dried up it turn to this white compound .
its not conductive nor oxidizing.
@@uFixTek I tried to wash it, but it does not wash and stopped rubbing, that is, they are coming from the factory ??? why is it easy to wash off the paste? good coating on them ... varnish from the factory ?thank!
you dont need to touch or clean that flux oxide. they been coming out of factory since xbox 360. even some PS3s its the materials that they use in factory no need to worry about them.
@@uFixTek I assembled and disassembled And touched everything with my bare hands How to find out that static electricity did not say anything on the board. It seems that everything works! What kind of thermal paste and gum do you like for the rest of the parts and of normal quality, almost like a blue-green and white square at the factory if you change it! Thanks !
Thank you 🙏
It's my pleasure my friend.
cheers🍻
Thanks many videos disassembly but none re assembly! last time i pay to change thermal paste, today i disassembly to put a SSD and next week change thermal paste again, saddly the "tecnician" broke 3 plastics of my xbox :( but they are not important things at least :)

@@uFixTekyea kinda to late for that that's why I asked lol 😆
@@uFixTek thanks though
Never mind I found some for actually pretty cheap
oki try this they are "good" didn't test it but they say good quality
Hi can you help me I have followed your excellent video but now when I turn my xbox on it goes of after about 2 seconds please help
Thank you for the feedback and support,
please give me the brand of the paste that you used>?
It was a type I got with a cool master all in one liquid cooler I used a bit of nail polish remover to clean the old paste off I have striped down and rebuilt a dozen gameing PCs using this method thanks for the fast reply
then something is not sitting right in there, its not making a flat contact with CPU, use a thicket paste and see the difference.
this paste is thicket and much better:
amzn.to/3c2wkP1
BUT it shouldn't turn off with your paste double check if the heatsink is sitting flat on cpu.
@@uFixTek thanks sir I'll try that excellent channel thanks alot
My the copper part on my heat sink is majorly discolored, like grey! Do I need to get a new heat sink or just clean this one?? Because after I replaced my thermal paste my Xbox no longer over heats but the fan still sounds like a jet engine.

regarding your question:no need to get a new heatsink, just get a copper or Silver cleaning solution and it will shine that line diamond.
i use this just a dab use rub in and it will be like new:

@@uFixTek ok sweet, I’ll shoot you a sub. Do you have any idea why my fan still runs super loud though while playing x enhanced games? Like it’s not hot at all the fan just decides to put it in hyperdrive.
@@cosmicjoker8547 im sorry but i have no idea why youtube place most of the comments in the spam list!! sorry about it, i don't know if you got around regarding the fan, but try using a thick paste like amzn.to/3sqFvzC
this paste is thick and it would do the job better.
please leave new comment if you trying to reply.
Great help thanks.
You're welcome! 😊im glad it helped you and thank you for the support to the channel.
Were you having the shutdown issue cause ventilation issues ?
@@silvesterSTillSTONED my problem was cpu thermal paste not doing its job and console would shut down to protect the it.
@@OneBronxBoy awesome thanks, I’m getting ready to do mine soon as the paste gets here Monday. Would it power down and then say it shutdown cause ventilation issues ? Like a message pop up as soon as you re turn on your console ?
@@silvesterSTillSTONED make sure you ONLY wipe clean and apply paste on the top of the cpu like he said in the video. It should turn on like normal after that and it won’t crash do to cpu over heating.
Master please advise thermal paste on xboh 1 x! thanks!

hello! can you touch the board with bare clean hands ...?
YES YOU CAN, nothing will happen its really really hard to kill the board by touching it.
@@uFixTek Can the motherboard be touched with bare hands from static electricity will it be damaged?
yes you can touch it with your hands and move it nothing will happen just dont rub your hands on your head or on your t-shirt. just before touching the motherboard touch a metal frame and you will be ok touching the motherboard.
You put thermal paste the the white thermal pad aswell?
there are no white thermal pads, if you mean the blueish thermal pads, then no you do NOT need to replace them at all , just replace the thermal paste with:
amzn.to/3qgsJBm
or :
amzn.to/39vGfKo
Thank you for the support and feedback
uFixTek no i meant the white pad on the bottom of the motherboard u put thermal paste on it aswell?
ah yes i placed a bit of thermal paste to seal the pads surface, it helps a lot.
uFixTek interesting you think i should replace the thermal pads along with replacing the thermal paste? I noticed my one x fan has gotten noticeably louder and im not sure if it’s because the thermal paste is dried out or because i have the one x vertical
thermal paste is dry for sure. sorry for the long reply im sick with COVID :(
The xclamp was rotated 180 degree on the re assembly. Does that affect anyway?
can you provide a picture?
prnt.sc/
@@uFixTek yeah no problem prnt.sc/xtdijg . Anyway, sorry, great video, very helpful, thanks a lot. But i have the doubt if put the xclamp that way affects to the performance because i did exactly that
OMG JESUS THAT can short and kill the motherboard , flip it back to its normal position my friend , that is very wrong!! you need to pull the heatsink to the motherboard and thats a wrong way of doing and you can short the caps.
@@uFixTek is a joke, truth?
OMG im sorry i didn't pay too much attention to the picture i think i saw that the xclamp was flipped the inside out :P
now i get you, and no it doesnt do any difference the rotation (not flipped ). sorry i didnt get you at 1st
Please could you help me? Where can I find a copper solution cleaner on Amazon that’s ships to uk because I’ve been looking everywhere and I cant find it please could you help me out? The mg chemicals does not ship to the U.K
it doesn't have to be copper solution in liquid , you can use any silver cleaner or even a Vinegar mix with baking soda. you should be able to find silver cleaner paste or liquid in the city , i dont know any Uk sites, sorry.
thank you for the feedback and your support to the channel my friend
Did everything in your video down to a tee, my Xbox still randomly shuts down and sounds like an airplane
What paste did you use?
Artic Mx 4
@Antoni Sabala yes it is
@Antoni Sabala I’ve used the dot method, the line method, and the spread method nothing has changed
@Antoni Sabala I’ve already done this with thermal grizzly pads...I’m at a loss my friend. I have no idea what my issue is
Legend, done mine and its near silent

I did this and the sync doesn't work anymore! 😐
remove the front face plate and side boards and re insert them and double check the connections.
look up "X Clamp Tool"
Thank you for the feedback and the support regarding the x clamp tool i have added the link in the video description, but i dont see the point of paying 9USd for a something that you can do it with flat screw driver, i been opening them for 13years without the tool :P
but i appreciate the feedback and for those who want the tool the link is in the description.
@@uFixTek you are right, your method went very quick/easy. i just happened to have one from the 360 days.
I did everything in this video and my xbox one x overheating gotten worse once I did everything
It even shuts off when im turning it on now
ok, you need to go back and recheck the heatsink its maybe not sitting flat on the cpu, double check your contact points on heatsink, and what paste are you using?
@@uFixTek im using mx4
then you must be having issue with heatsink not aligning on cpu.

Didn't even say what type of screws you need.. Pointless.
@1:04 i show you the type of the screw driver i used, and if you want to know what screws you have in the console, this video is made for those who need to clean and repaste, its not meant to tell you what type of screws it has inside and what type of plastic its using for casing, and type of fan and etc... but if you want to know something in particular mention in the comment and i will be glad to assist you.
Clean all the old paste and apply new paste in a dot not multiple lines 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
we have tested with multiple lines or xshape and the best test came on multiple lines, we do this on daily bases and testing a lot, much appreciate your feedback and if you feel like placing dot its totally fine my friend.

@@uFixTek can do all the testing you want, cleanup and re application in this vid is unacceptable I’d be furious if I paid top dollar and got lazy workmanship
This is not a lazy workmanship its the best result for the CPU /GPU.
again this method works the best but if you feel otherwise then skip the video.
all my clients are satisfied and zero issue for years, and that's what it counts.
@@uFixTek I'm with you brother, i have done exactly as shown and worked great :)
