Me too. Except for Switch, which I only completely power down like once a week.
sure if it's installing/downloading something, and right after taking it out, the heatsink is gonna stay warm for a while. kinda dumb of jeff to touch it but it didn't seem that bad lol
I do it too. power just randomly tends to flicker every few days so never wanna risk it. 20-25 second cold boot time for these new consoles is totally acceptable.
I like that Sony went with off the shelf SSDs for their expandable storage because you won't get me to buy Seagate.
Uh, if you have background downloads, the SSD's still running and they get hot.
from my back-compat feature at Ars:
Once we have Series X-specific software to test, and an embargo to match, I'll have more on how hot this runs. Also, anyone who would touch the proprietary expandable NVMe drive's aluminum part after it was being used in the system is not smart. NVMe drives are notorious for running at very high temps. He should probably try a lick test next.

an SSD being written to (even in standby) will generate heat. That's not the same thing as the whole console getting hot.
Let's also not change the totally unscientific 'really toasty' to 'incredibly hot'.
Well the heat needs to dissipate someway.
I wonder if they ever saw gpus or cpus temperatures? /s

Am I missing something or out of the hundreds of people MS has given the console to only two people have said it's hot?
It'll be fine. Could be many reasons for this especially since some seem to run warmer than others. People probably shouldn't be touching that ssd or putting wires close to it though just in case.
I know for gpu and cpus in computers an acceptable level is from 60 or 65 up to like 80-85 Celsius. Yeah, that would be hot to touch but within the acceptable range.

After RROD, I think the first order when designing new hardware at MS is 'please dont let it melt'.
He says the console is very warm despite not having been in use awhile.
I was going to post if you have a PC with a NVMe hard drive to put your finger on it. Seems pretty common.
That's just what the kids say nowadays. "This Series X is hot! This PS5 is banging!"
Get with the times, OP.

If it was downloading something in standby the SSD would still be running and generating heat. Or maybe it needs to run while in standby to keep games in Quick Resume. Not too crazy
Well that's not good. He really should speak to MS about that.
Reading through the Bethesda acquisition thread about "the future of software" I've seen many people claiming arrogant Xbox has emerged. While I understand the intent of this is to claim "Xbox is making moves that I think are wrong and do not agree with" using the word arrogance is the opposite of what Xbox is doing.
Arrogance is usually born out of complacency. The idea that one doesn't need to do anything for a result. Arrogance is ultimately what screwed Sony over transitioning into the PS3 and what screwed Microsoft over transitioning into the Xbox One.
However, Xbox wants to avoid looking complacent anymore, whether due to the cyclical nature of the victor of the previous gen becoming the loser of the next or what have you.
So with the rumors of more money hatting huge publishers in the future, this is not arrogant Xbox.
This is "Violent Xbox"
As Jim Ryan tells you how they want to promote generations, make sure all Playstation first party titles use new features from the dualsense and SSD, Phil Spencer brandishes a knife and states "Peace was never an option"
As you see Xbox's slogan of "Power Your Dreams" and you ask "what about the PS5 player's dreams" Phil Spencer stares down upon you and whispers "pathetic"
I am just in awe of how aggressive Xbox is being, but this is not "arrogance". This is violence.
Well if it reaches 300w it's basically a 300w heater, which is no different to any mid range gaming PC except all the heat is being pushed out through one large top vent so the air will be more concentrated and thus feel hotter.
Watch the video lol that's a very dramatic reading. He pulls the SSD expansion card out and touches the exposed heatsink and it's obviously hot, but he didn't hurt himself or anything
I do too because my dad likes to turn off the switches even after reminding him not to, because he is a forgetful 73 year old.
My PS4's hard drive might be failing from the number of sudden shutdowns because of him.
Quick resume works even if you unplug the machine for years.
ahh okay. i don't watch a lot of videos from gaming personalities because it makes me not like them xD i usually just read up on written impressions
Oh ok lol. Well it was probably downloading something while in standby
I do this to, on most of my units.
Updates aren't a problem on my connection anyway.
Did he pull it out of the slot and then touch the metal? Or was it just the base of it that sticks out?
It's literally an SFFPC running a custom Windows, of course it runs hotter than average
And also blowing out hot air =/= running hot. Streamers are dumb
And also blowing out hot air =/= running hot. Streamers are dumb
I think both, I have listened to it when it came out, not watched it.
Other than a longer boot, is there any downside to just shutting it down when you're done using it?
Curious about what exactly? They are all under rolling embargo and are all under the same rules of what to show and talk about.
