Purchased a used fight inexperienced One S not too long ago and seen that the fan was making a number of noise, which I figured was attributable to mud (exterior seemed fairly dusty). Determined to scrub out the within of the console with compressed air and drop in a quieter aftermarket fan.
Adopted this information and acquired the really helpful fan and cables + received an analogous toolset. Took about an hour to open up the machine, clear out the mud, and put within the new fan. Wasn’t too powerful for somebody who’s by no means repaired electronics earlier than.
After closing it up, Xbox booted up advantageous and runs a lot quieter now. Checked the temperature by really feel after taking part in for an hour+ of Infinite and the system feels cooler to the contact than with the previous fan, which had a number of mud on it.
In hindsight, if I had been much less centered on making an attempt to get the brand new fan in, I’d’ve taken pics to share. Hopefully those within the hyperlink will suffice
