Xbox Series X
We’re spending a lot of time talking about cooling and heat dissipation with next-gen consoles these days, but let’s face it – it’s better than talking about some of the other things that are going on in the world right now. The other day, we got a glimpse of some of the impressive, bulky cooling solutions found inside the PS5’s wild-looking case, and over the course of the past week, people have been speculating about the Xbox Series temperature X, with some on the internet they say plastic gets quite hot.
Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg actually ended up responding to some of these concerns, saying that the heat coming out of the console is “not significantly different from the Xbox One X”:
It is difficult for me to assess what the normal heat levels of the Xbox One X are, mainly because my Xbox One X is located under my TV, which is a totally normal place to put it. I don’t touch it much, but I do touch it a little. There are some papers at the top that have not caught fire. The heat from the plastic is a genuine concern if you are dealing with a laptop or handheld, where it is actually in contact with the machine while using it. For something that is placed under your television it is … less of a concern. The Xbox Series X and PS5 are basically modern gaming PCs, and modern gaming PCs produce a fair amount of heat.
I … I don’t expect anyone to talk so much about this in a few weeks. If there was a genuine concern for security, I sincerely doubt Microsoft would let these things go free and have dozens of influencers and others playing with backward compatibility. And I don’t think “plastic gets a little hot” is a major safety concern, unless you’re producing enough heat to melt said plastic. No one with an early drive has reported melted plastic. If they did, he would probably find out.
The Xbox Series X + S is due out on November 10, followed closely by the PS5 on November 12. Expect a lot more nonsense between now and then.
