Microsoft released on November 10, 2020Xbox Series XIt is a next-generation gaming machine equipped with a Zen 2 architecture CPU and RDNA architecture GPU, capable of 4K and a maximum output of 120Hz. I took a closer look at what is the contents of a Microsoft-powered gaming machine, and what kinds of parts are made by splitting up the Xbox Series X that I bought right away.

You can find out how the Xbox Series X was divided by reading the following article.
I disassembled Micosoft’s next generation game machine “Xbox Series X” into pieces and took a look at the content –
First, the case and the rear panel.
The green mesh part seen from the top surface looks like this and has a two-layer structure.
The rear panel was engraved with the “Microsoft” logo.
On Xbox One S, there was one board, but on Xbox Series X, it’s split in two. It looks like this when I removed the heat sink and shield from the first board and cleaned the grease off the CPU.
At the center is the Xbox Series X SoC. Approximately 47% of the total area is occupied by RDNA 2 architecture GPU clusters, approximately 11% by Zen 2 architecture CPU clusters, and the remainder is occupied by GDDR6 and IO controllers. The name of the development project “PROJECT SCARLETT” is etched into the surface.
And GDDR6-14gb memory surrounds the SoC. Total capacity is 10GB.
Looking at the rear, there are a lot of precision parts. Since the board itself has a multilayer structure, not all circuitry is exposed, but it is still quite dense.
The power management coils are aligned on the frame of the shield.
Expansion storage card slot for Xbox Series X and HDMI output terminal.
Next to the expansion storage card slot, there were four inputs left in a way that could be connected to a USB connector.
SSD connected to NVMe mounted on the board. It corresponds to the M.2 slot.
The product number is CH SN530 from Western Digital.Official siteBased on this part number, SSD is a PCI Express Gen 3.0 compliant model.
But,lspciWhen I looked at the details of this SSD, the connection speed was 16 GT per second (Giga)to transfer). This indicates that it is PCI Express 4.0 compliant, so the CH SN530 with Xbox Series X has the same part number as the commercial product, but appears to be a custom model.
The content was divided into 6 partitions as shown below.
CrystalDiskInfoThe scan result is as follows.
When I looked it up, the Xbox Series X version of CH SN530 seemed to have a different controller chip than the conventional CH SN530.
this isPMICA chip that appears to be.
The second board looks like this.
Flip it over and it has a LAN port and a USB connector.
And the one that used to be prominently displayed was the chip with the logo from the previous generation of Xbox One. From what I can see the circuitry, it appears that I am controlling input and output, but the details are unknown. When I looked for the code written on the chip, nothing came out.
Button batteries in the dash …
Speakers andI2CThere were some places where there was a space in the circuit for some reason, like a bus, although it had no parts.
Flat cable connecting the first and second boards
And a die-cast frame sandwiched between two boards.
The part that hits the shield that covers the SSD was engraved with “SSD Solid State Drive”.
The heatsink looks like this. Bonded green clay is cool to the touch and appears to be made of a material with high thermal conductivity. There are slit-shaped pieces under the copper plate.
The end of the heat pipe was sticking out of the end of the copper plate.
The optical disc drive is DG-6M5S compatible with Blu-ray.
DG-6M5S was installed on Xbox One Slimdriveit is.
A panel that secures the optical disc drive to the case.
It is recorded with “Optical Disc Drive”.
The metal parts are mounted from the rear. It doesn’t seem to make sense to pay attention to the exhaust heat on the back of the optical disc drive, so it’s unclear what the metal parts were attached to.
A silent fan installed on top. The Xbox Series X is a system that cools while dividing the airflow from the bottom up into multiple parts, and for the Xbox Series X, which appears to have a considerable amount of exhaust heat due to its high performance, this fan is essential. .
FansAavid ThermalloyDone.
In the fan corner, it was postponed although it was expected to be the Xbox Series X launch title.Infinite HaloThe mask of the master chief who is the main character of “” is engraved.
Board with reception sensor and USB connector to connect to the controller
Found a mysterious shield on the back. I was really wondering what he was hiding …
Only on this part of the Xbox Series X is the shield firmly attached, so I stopped peeling it off.
This is a board with a switch to turn on the power.
LED and switch. Xbox Series X starts when you press the Xbox logo button on the main unit. The button lights up white.
Two types of boards are related to wireless technology
Federal Communications CommissionWhen I looked up the “FCC ID” code when I was authenticated and verified the details, “C3K1888“It is” 2T2R 802.11a / b / g / n / ac dual band wireless LAN radio “, so it appears to be a Wi-Fi module.
But another “C3K1889“” It is “dual band wireless accessory radio”, but it is not clear what kind of function the chip is.
Also, when I scratched both plates, I could see the antenna part.
The power supply is housed in a sturdy metal case.
Screw in a flathead screwdriver and pry open.
You can also pry open the plastic box.
The content of the power supply looks like this. Each part is covered in white resin and has a silver heat sink.
The control boardRytonWas made.
So after looking at all the pieces, I tried to assemble them all and put them back together …
Apparently there was a problem with the ignition switch, so I pressed the switch and said nothing.
When I looked it up, it seemed like there was a problem with the flat cable connector connecting the switch board and the main board. It appears that the flat cable or connector suffered a physical failure while removing or connecting the flat cable.
If you just turn on the power, you can do it from the controller, so you can play games for now. Obviously, an expensive 50,000 yen gaming machine can be turned into a box in an instant or it can be shocked, so if you want to take it apart, do so at your own risk.
