Xbox One X Teardown - What's Inside???
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ส.ค. 2024
- The Xbox One X is here and I tore it down! Today I received my Xbox One X Project Scorpio edition. I unbox it on camera, then get to the teardown.
The case halves slide apart and reveal a metal case enclosing the innards of the console. After removing the metal shields we get to the main components, the disc drive, power supply and fan assembly. After removing all of those I find the hard drive tucked under them.
I remove that then take off the x-clamp to reveal a lot of thermal pads under the heat sink. The heat sink itself is huge. An interesting find is the thermal paste. It was already dried out and crusty.
Hope you enjoyed the teardown and let me know if you have any questions in the comments section.

What other videos do you want me to make about this console?
I'm sure it will have some...don't they all?
Great ideas!
can you pls open the liquid cooling of the Xbox One X? lets see what inside and how they did their liquid cooling system.
Liquid metal vs thermal paste.
Hi Steve15 minutes well spent, I have a question, are the blue dots on the ram chips thermal pads? Because it doesn't look like thermal paste. Cheers Steve. My man.
great teardown, thanks! I like it when a brand spanking new something is torn down right away without even switching it on once to see whether it works :)
Hey thanks!
why anyone would dislike this video is beyond me... good vid!
Ha, ha...ya I have no idea either.
I've seen couple other teardown videos with dislikes i don't get it lol
Love it. Been waiting for the X for a while now, thx for the videos
You're welcome! Been waiting to make it for a while!
Once again tronicsfix doesn't disappoint!🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey thanks!
you take your time to answer every comment. that's super cool of you.
I don't get them all, but I try to get to most of them. It's good to see someone noticed!
TronicsFix would like to ask for your professional opinion. my fan runs at a somewhat random pace and sometimes it revs up high and slows back down. what do you make of that? should i be worried?
So today i watched your first video and liked it, i decided to watch some more, and it wasn't a bad idea!
Ha, ha...awesome! Glad you like the channel!
Im glad to see how easily the case opened up. With the 1s you had to use a can opener.
Ha, ha...practically!
Great videos. I like watching your Teardowns. Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub! Glad you enjoy them!
Thanks again for another great tutorial. After doing a teardown, clean and thermal replacement for the PS4 Pro, I figured it was time for the Xbox One X to get the same treatment, plus an SSD upgrade. Even though I've had them both for roughly the same length of time, I feel like the X had a lot more dust in there.
It is funny because I've been waiting about 3 months on you to do a video on tearing down the Xbox one and now it's finally here
Yep, I received it at about 1pm today and got the video out about 8pm
Grate video keep up the good work
Thanks man!
Nate dogg how is that.funny?
Nathan Jackson Yes so funny. Loser
came for the tiny master chief.
Ha, ha...totally forgot to show that!
wow love your vid man keep it up
Thanks!
Who else loves tronics fix 😆
impressive job, as always !
thanks this "opening" video !
Thanks!
Do they still use security/anti-tamper screws or do they use standard screws? For the top casing, the metal shell, etc?
For those wondering the HDD is a Seagate ST1000LM035 5400rpm (not 7200rpm some have been saying). Sata 6Gb/s interface, 140MB/s transfer rate, 128mb cache.
Great video again
hi steve.like before start watching you are the man.keep the good work
Now that's confidence!
Those circular thermal pads around the main processor, does the Heat sink sit flush on them or do you need new pads OR do you need the thicker Gap Compound ?
Hey Tronix whens the testings coming for the xbox one x? I wanna know what you think about the heat of the system.
Dumb question, would replacing the thermal pads on the RAM chips with thermal paste also be a good idea or would the motherboard wiggle too much spreading the paste too thin when reassembling?
Thanks again for making this video!
Bad idea due to the larger gaps than between the heatsink and APU die, which is what thermal putty is made for: bridging gaps that are too big for thermal paste or pads to be viable.
Thanks for the sharing as usual
You're welcome!
Wow your videos are interesting and I'm amazed you have 50k subscribers nice I'm a subscribing of your Channel I got to admit this is one interesting dissecting of an Xbox console I wonder if dissecting consoles is entertainment learning purposes
Hello. What is the part number of the Seagate HDD? Is it a hybrid mechanical/SSD similar to the one used in the former Xbox One Elite consoles?
hey, I am having trouble connecting my controllers to my system wirelessly ( via usb is not a problem). Do you know what part in the console I would have to replace to get this issue resolved?
Can you please tell me what mm thermal pads I need to buy an use on the vrm? iv looked everywhere an I’m having no luck I have got a 2mm minus 8 grizzly pad I really don’t want to just try them an hope they work I plan on breaking it back down later today an doing rethermal on the apu an pads on the vrm, I may have to be the test subject an see if they fill the gap an compress a little an if it works or not. If so I will post something about my journey
What do think should I replace the pads as well as using AS5?
Yes I have a Xbox one original and a Xbox one s. On the one s I get an error 102 I’ve tried resetting and usb offline update but it’s still grey’d out when I plug in the usb. Even called Microsoft to double check everything for 2hours. So my question is can I take the hard drive from my original xbox one and replace it into my xbox one s?
Hi where do you get that thermal paste that's on the memory chips just asking ?
Awesome and great video
Thanks!
I'm curious, what Wifi module are they using on X?
Hi tronics fix.
My xbox one s fan have some noise.
Noise sound like ghijjjjj.
What is your suggestion?
Buy a new fan and change it or buy a bring?
Kamran Mirshekari my xbox sounds like that all the time, I would suggest look into It, it may be hitting something like the heatsink
Hi Tronicsfix Is it normal that my PS4 Slim Is loud when i insert disc in it a then its quitet? Iam out of varranty and i never cleaned out.
Please make a video about the fan noise and huw loud is,process 4k gaming
I desperately need to replace an hdmi port in an extreme budget and my 30 watt 10$ soldering iron isn't taking these ports out, recommendations?
Did you ever see any black bars that appear to be for anti vibration? I have some and idk where they go
Man you are amazing keep forward
Hey thanks! Will do.
Hey man, please can you explain us the difference between the PS4 PRO 7000 and 7100?
How big of a ssd drive could you put in at 2.5" without comprising performance. there is a 4tb external but is that worth it?
I really don't know. I would hope you could put a large one in it but don't know.
Finally a new video! :D
Yes...I've moving my business so that's taken up most of my "extra" time!
Great to hear it's doing WELL! This is my favorite channel! Always excited about new content!
Thanks! Once I get moved I'll have a dedicated YT studio space so I should be able to really crank out the content. That will probably take a bit to get it set up though.
Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition US Zone can use 200-240v ?
Which way is better for heat with this console stand or no stand
Best channel on TH-cam 👍👍👍
Thanks man!
That thermal paste being that dry is a no no , even my core i7 after two years the paste was still good. What kind of compound did MS use?
Ya, it's strange. Even still I don't expect it to cause a problem.
please make a video about xbox one x project edition noise fan 😣 im scare about my xbox do a lot of noise when im playing
Nice looks sooooo good
Yep...it's a nice one!
Crazy, can’t upgrade internal hard drive without taking it completely apart. Took 5 minutes to upgrade the internal hard drive on the PS4 pro. Getting x1x tomorrow, but after getting used to a console with a SSD I don’t want to go back to a spinning disc hard drive ☹️
9:41 What tool did u use to the X clamp off??
also the thermal past does its job for my xbox one x changing it will on knock off 5 to 10 degrees at a push ... I might change mine in 1 or 2 years cuz I can see this thing becoming a dust collector and will need it then also in a different video could you explain how the fan gets its cool air because the fan intake is facing the plastic bottom of the console so how and where does it get its fresh air from ????
Ya, I don't think the thermal paste will cause a problem. Great idea for a future vid!
Man this channel got me really interested in electronic repairing. How do I get started on that? Any good tutorials/websites/books I can check out?
The internet
Didn’t quite get to what exactly does the cable go down to at 5:05 ???
The USB port
Any seagate EXT HDD will work for transferring your data from ONE S to ONE X. Just make sure it's a 3.0 usb port vers and is minimum 3TB in size. Off topic, but great video here.
Not sure if you've encountered this but when I took my Scorpio out of the box and flipped it a bit I hear some clicking sound as if a small piece of loose plastic or screw was moving inside. Is it something I should be worried about? Please give your advice!
jinchuriki26 if it's working normally then no
I wouldn't worry about it unless it's not working correctly.
My xb1 turns on then about 10 seconds later it turns back off. I've boughten multiple new power bricks and that didn't help. I opened up the xb1 cleaned it and that still didn't help. Does anyone know what to do?
What happens if u dont change that dry thermal paste
I wanted a Scorpio edition and here he is tearing one down, I've ordered the regular edition but it won't be here until next Tuesday due to them being in the warehouse, the original batches in every store in Ireland have sold out
Did you ever get your one x from 3 years ago?
@@unknownpopcorn6499, yes, I am playing Gears 5 on it right now. I would have a XSX but my pre-order was delayed to January despite me pre-ordering as soon as it went up.
Never pre-order a console from GameStop. I’d say that they bumped their friends up in the queue and took pre-order consoles for themselves. I’ve heard of GameStop employees doing that
Also heard that they are scalping the consoles
I know this is a xbox one x video but I was just wondering why my new ps4 slim is making loud static/buzzing sounds? anyone please respond.
Is it Scorpio edition problem only? Or both?
hey Steve my name is Jaime I have an Xbox One in the eject button stopped working I seen one of your videos and took my Xbox apart before I take it apart I was injecting my disc manually when I put my Xbox back together my Xbox eject button was working again but it wasn't taking out the disc I did miss around my disc drives can you please let me know how to fix my problem thank you
Is the cool air only supposed to be coming out of the front left and right sides? The front half of my one x stays really cool but the back half and top. gets pretty warm
That's normal.
TronicsFix thanks!
What can I do with this elite controller...broke all kinds of ways.
What is the front ribbon cable for?
i wonder why they couldn't just use a beefed up version of the regular xbone heat sink with the vertical venting grid above, makes it soo easy to clean the heat sink without even opening.
My friends Scorpio just started over heating. I think it's the paste. 2 months out of warranty.
It's rarely the thermal paste.
Are those thermal pads being use for the ram chips?
Yes
Brand new Ps4Pro's had the same similar issue, dried looking thermal
paste that looked like it was 2 yrs old in usage.
Hey Steve can you explain to us why I can't plug my Xbox One X into a surge protector I know it has built-in surge protection but it's hard to trust can you post a video on why they want us to do this
Good video idea. I actually not totally sure but I'm guessing they somehow restrict the amperage going to the console. I'll have to look into this.
So now that its almost been a year later
How's the Thermal paste situation?
How is the design?
Everything solid so far?
Asking because holidays are coming up and it's time to pick up a new console :)
This is a good console. I recommend it if you're looking for something high end.
@@Tronicsfix looking into it for sure
Just want to make sure all the issues with the machine has been ironed out :)
amazing video ,god bless u ,,keepup
Glad you liked it!
why did you tear up the project Scorpio edition as you can't get another one
It´s a MONSTER
just liquid metaled mine, cheers mate!
Cool! I'm doing a video about that!
Thank you 💪
Welcome!
Fastest warranty void ever
Ha, ha...yep.
Saifudin Khuzema they legally can't void it for a damaged sticker only damaged internals
But they still will and do
warranty stickers were never a problem for me. i have tools to remove them perfectly.
From the looks of it I believe that the disc is gonna the one with most of the problems because the heat from the fan is going to hit on the disc drive by much. Also i didnt really like the way the RAM chips have been placed, I mean that not all of them will be cooled enough from the fan. Its dissapointing, people better be careful.
Well at least I enjoyed that teardown man. You are really good and explain all the staff really great to amateurs. I have a question though, how do you '' feel the console'', I mean that you hold it and looked at it , does it feel solid enough in your eyes?
It's very solid! It's heavy and seems to be built well.
Can you show me a fix for my Xbox one x it only turns on sometimes and I can go on things such as you tube off line games. When I go to a online game it shuts down. I'd love to no is it a easy fix ? Thanks Q.
Hmmm...I'd have to be able to look at it and test it here at my shop. Sorry I can't be of much help.
I'm confused, that hard drive appears to be 5400rpm. I thought Microsoft said loading times would be quicker due on the X due to a 7200rpm hard drive?
I love your shirt! Where did you get it?
I think I got this one at think geek
What i was asking is would it be easier put a 2tb ssd and flash it while pulled apart. You don't get much with 1tb 7200 rpm. I do understand that you may lose up to 400mb on the current hd and op system. Would be good to c this. Love ur channel nd that's y i am asking. I honestly think this is where you will shine with ur channel. Again thank you for your knowledge and wisdom.
Good idea. Not sure if I'll have time for that but maybe.
Hola
Disculpa
Cómo consigo los pads térmicos, cuántos mm son?
Why is the heat snink upside down
can you make a heat test comparing both ps4 and X?
jeremiah caidic it will be around 45-55C depending on the game
Yes
Admyr 6 woah, thanks man
Heat test have already been done and it shows that the Xbox One consumes less power and is actually cooler then a normal PS4.
As for the PS4 Pro vs Xbox One X, I donno. I'd imagine the Xbox One X would still be relatively cooler then the PS4 Pro simply due to the way they are designed.
X1 will destroy it my ps4 has such a small terrible fan
You can clearly see the M.2 solder points on the bottom of the board. Mine is also without the socket. :(
What does size of mobo have to do with computing power?
Nothing
10:36 Is that an unpopulated M.2 PCIe slot? If so, maybe Microsoft is looking to release versions of this console equipped with an SSD. That would be awesome if it comes to fruition... a PCIe SSD on top of 4K gaming and 4K Blu-Ray sounds so good!
Hmmm...I don't know. I'll have to take a closer look.
I was waiting for this video for a long time... I'd rather watch this video than taking apart my console, maybe I will tear down my console so I can change the termal paste.
Glad you liked it!
TronicsFix I'd recommend you make videos of different things, like laptops, pc's, phones, etc.
I really like your videos.
Been thinking about it.
Kind of wish you could do a teardown of the regular 1X. As all the teardown I see are project Scorpio editions. I heard there are some Scorpio 1X shutting down and couldn't help but wonder if the dry thermal paste could be a Scorpio problem.
Hmmm...where are you hearing this?
Kind of weird how they couldn’t get everything onto just one external daughterboard .. nice teardown !
I'm guessing they could have gotten it all on one, but was probably more convenient to have to so they could have them in different locations.
What do you think of the overall build quality
Seems good and sturdy.
Please make a video on how to fix a ps4 R2 trigger that wont respond
Help me pleeaaassse
Great channel.liked and subbed. Im looking for a teardown of the elite controller for Xbox. I am having a few issues with rb and lb broke because it's 1 piece. Also down on dpad quit working...possible spill...issues wit plastic clamps that hold sticks in place. The circle around the joy stick on face popped out and lost it....why that even comes out I have no idea. So I'm bummed.
Ya, sorry, haven't done much with those controllers yet. I may in the future.
Somebody please help me my ps4 slim keeps shutting down every time I try to play a game
Would this console be worth getting if I just have a 1080p tv?
Depends on how much money you have. It's still a faster machine but you won't get any of the better graphics.
TronicsFix thanks for reply!
Upgrading the internal Hard Drive Video Please. And if so, Thank You!
The hard drive can be reemplace with a ssd?
I'm sure it can, but obviously haven't tried it yet.
Very nice
Hey thanks!
Ok is there anyway I️ can contact you guys like on the phone ?
Thermal paste will be sticky and more liquid when you run the machine. It needs to be warm. For example stock fan of intel cpu's are coming pre-applied dry paste too.
No it doesn't need to be warm. I've disassembled literally thousands of consoles. If it's dry its going to be dry. It doesn't get more wet when you run the machine.
TronicsFix yeah but I get more wet as I run the machine.
What's with the lack of videos? I like this channel
Totally agree. I'll be creating more vids soon. Thanks for the support!
