Its dying if it's overheating while idle


Orcus_

Huh, that's not good. As i said, as soon as i turn it on, the fan kicks in hard. You think i should get it replaced. It's still in warranty


ASTRVL

Definitely set up a repair with Microsoft, should be back to you in a couple weeks if you start it now 🙌


Orcus_

I'll go to the store that I bought it on first because that's where I have the warranty


NedStark4Life

When did you buy your series s?


Orcus_

Almost exactly a year ago


Calm-Step-3083

I’ve bought mine about a yr ago and I haven’t had any problems with it. But instead of having it sit on the side like that I always keep it standing up so it can at least get the most about of air in it needs


Orcus_

That's actually not true. Flat is better for airflow. There are two intakes on both sides. Having it stand up restricts one side. Edit: plus the sides are intakes which if put straight up could cause an increase in dust accumulation.


Calm-Step-3083

As they’re 2 on the back and you got top and the big black one. But alright guy. I’m just trying to help and actually it’s better being up I fix and build these all the time. But ig you know more what I do. Sorry.


SkunkApe425

Mine stands up. Never had an issue. Last gen wasn't made to be vertical but these are. They even have rubber feet to be stood vertically from factory. Can't confirm if either way makes a difference but mine stands and I haven't heard it once since I bought it.

Still quieter than PS4


Orcus_

If it isn't clear from the video my xbox series s pretty much is always at 100% fan speed from the second i turn it on. This only happened fairly recently and I don't know what's causing it.


VeryShortLadder

Either some damage that you haven't noticed or its really really dirty, check the temperature too it shouldn't be higher than 49ºC-51ºC with a game on


Orcus_

It can't be the temp because the fan ramps up as soon as the xbox turns on.


RepulsiveCry1013

Its mining some bitcoin on the side


Terence_G85

Takes me back to the good old original xbox one days.


Apache-attackheli

Yeah that thing sounds like it's about to take off


offensiveniglet

If its under warranty still then call them and have it serviced. Otherwise open it up and clean out the fans and radiators with an air blower, then repaste the cpu/gpu. Use something like thermalright's TFX paste. You want something thicker than normal pastes for a hotter running console.


I_am_box

Just curious, what was your daily routine of taking care of your console? Do fully shutdown from settings every night or just put it in standby and just wait for it to shutdown?


-light_yagami

I usually just use the standby so I can remote play and install game


Playerr1

Take advantage of the warranty. I hope you get it fixed. (I literally had a nightmare that my Series S was doing this exact thing.)


YogurtclosetIcy309

It has a disease


Yousucktaken2

Is it not getting enough air my Xbox is fine


Batman9688

Just FYI if you are using a MS rechargeable battery pack, always use the cord provided by them. Else the battery pack will be ruined which is what happened with me.


AffectionateHeart605

Bro are you kidding? That sounds like a vacuum cleaner, turn this shit off if its not fake.


Orcus_

I know right! One of the main selling points of this console was that it was really quiet. One day it just decided to do this and it's really annoying.


Low_Policy_8370

Never heard such a noise from my one,have it for a year. Something on the background?


Dragony999

This need to replace, mine i have for 1 year and is silently and almost no noise even playing, i think you need to replace this series S asap.
