"Series X, so far, is the quietest Xbox I've ever tested" - Ars, "this thing is quiet" - IGN

Load times on BC games aren't as impressive as I was expecting. I know they aren't optimized in any way, but I was still expecting better due to the raw increase in speed. I'm not expecting much better from the PS5 when it comes to unoptimized games. Hopefully I will be surprised.
To the posters saying their 1X started quiet - you're welcome: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/xpower...c-duster-blower-black/6326052.p?skuId=6326052
I think outside of the consoles with coil whine issues, the last console MS made that was loud was the 360 Elite if I'm correct.
My thoughts exactly. My One S is silent when playing Lost Odyssey, but ramps up if I pop in Sunset Overdrive or Halo 5
Ah, I didn't realize that there were supposed to be 2 lines in the fps box since one of the lines was the border.
Good to hear (or not hear). My launch One X is whisper-quiet to this day. To be honest, my launch PS4 is not too bad either, audible but no jet plane.
Looking at frame rate tests from DOA6 on X1X, the graphics mode seems to run between 30-45 fps. Looks like the Series X can push it up to 60. Locked? I guess we will see soon enough.
Has any publication talked about heat?
I've noticed that my Xbox One S generates quite a bit of heat after being on for 5+ hours, especially when playing graphics heavy games. My room is pretty small so it heats up the whole room and I'd hate to get a Series X and it melts.

So the X is the quietest Xbox ever, the S the smallest Xbox ever.
Microsoft really stepped up their game.

The thing I want to know with the PS5 and Xbox Series X went it comes to it's fans and noise is how easy are they to clean and maintain, sure it can be quiet at launch, but how about 6 months or 18 months later, the PS4 is an absolute pain to clean like with so many modern laptops and feels like they don't want you to be able to clean it properly without dissembling it.
I wish consoles let you have easy access to the fans so cleaning it would be easy.

Does this really mean anything? my early PS4 is whisper quiet running something that isn't taxing like Fall Guys, as soon as I play something demanding like Days Gone it sounds like a jet.
My Xbox One X is damn quiet. I'm glad they've been able to at least replicate that with the new console.
MS Hardware team keep winning, they do fantastic work.

Cool, I had no doubt the Series X would be quiet since they specifically mentioned that the design was chosen for that purpose. Really hoping the PS5 is as well. They have also mentioned that they focused on heating this time around so praying they come through. PS4 Pro fan noise regularly borders on ruining my experience.
