XBOX Series X fan is verly loud

[Guest 4760521]

Hello guys,

I hope you can help me with my problem.

My Xbox Series X fan is very loud, if I play 5 min Cyberpunk.
I bought the game + DLC Phantom Liberty on Store. (So newest Update) and I play in Performance Mode.

Has anyone the same issue?

Greetings

Hi!
Just finished my 160hrs playthrough few days ago (base game + Phantom Liberty) in performance mode and no, the fan is as quiet as usual
Since how long you have you console?
I have my Series X since more than 3 years, I took it apart to clean it (it's quite easy) and I must say my poor Series X needed it, really
(even if the air intake and the fan seemed pretty clean).

I think about 4 years..
How to clean the xbox? Have you got some tutorials?

Yeah, a tutorial to take it apart
Mine was full of "dust" in the big heatsink, which I assume almost broke the airflow, so the console heated more than it normally should and the fan was running faster for no reason.

I will try - thanks!

It worked. My XBOX is now very quiet. Thank you!

While I do not directly share this problem (I play on a gaming laptop), kudos for following through, and telling us that it worked; that potentially helps lots of people later, whom end up with the same issue.
