I wished you guys went further with the teardown. Or is it as far as you were allowed?

The inside of the Xbox Series X as the final retail unit

Yep. Besides, the size and all are just two different design philosophies and styles. Both are very detailed and wonderful machine. No need to put down one or the other.
The One series have excellent quality and reliability, the surface line... does not. Like at all.
I am sure the Series X has great thermal management and low failure rate, but believe me, you would hope it's nothing like the surface line.
I love how packed it all is. A 5nm revision without the drive will be even smaller than the Series S
Well its lucky most wont see it with the back off. Not the most elegant looking design but as long as its reliable then who cares...
Damn I didn't mean to stir the hornets nest. Just saying I'm waiting for real life results with demanding next gen games that really tank the GPU and CPU before I take anything away from the design. I'm going on what I'm seeing: a very tightly packed console and partly blocked air vents. If it manages to stay quiet: well done.
And it's the same thing for PS5. I will be convinced of it's cooling/noise level, once the real life tests with games like Demon's Souls and Miles Morales start rolling in. Up until then I will keep my reservations.

How do you know Demon's Souls and Miles Morales are more demanding than last gen games like RDR2, for example?
It looks like The Watch Dogs Legion will be a more representative test. It's very demanding even on high-end PCs.
Haha, that is exactly what I was thinking. 😂
It's certainly interesting to see the system with the actual fitting and cables, not the magnetic version they showed in March.

Some optimized games already use the full power so have full access to the GPU and CPU. It even pushes it to a 211w power peak with Gears 5 optimized.
It is important to point out that back compat games have full access to the GPU and CPU. I imagine certain games that have unlocked frame rates and resolutions could push the console pretty hard.
Pretty simple really. RDR2 is limited to PS4 spec, so it won't be pushing PS5 at all.
Brooooo
Have you not watched ANY videos/articles/engineering slides discussing this? Been beat to death for the last month or more. Christ sake, they were using thermal cameras to show it even. I swear peeps do this shit on purpose lol.
And I'm not even sure DeS or Miles will push the PS5 anyways...WD Legion or AC Valhalla will likely be the first real tests for both I assume.
I think both XSX/S and PS5 will be fine cooling wise. It was clearly a design requirement after getting feedback from this gen's consoles.
We already have had a peek inside anyway, I wasn't expecting a major difference in retail. But Resetera told me that the XSX was a boring, uninspired black box? Who will I believe? /s
Am I the only one who find the assembling a bit rough on this picture ? Tape fixing for the flat floating cable irregularly cornered ; fan connector and its cable under the pressure of the rear plate ; a... a clamp ?! to maintain parts and keep enough pressure on the cooler with volume (?) on it to keep some resistance with the case. It seems that the case has no other physical properties than protecting the inside and guiding the airflow - at least on this picture it it doesn't appear as a maintaining structure for the inside (I dunno how the integrated stand is made).
Steve Jobs would disapprove, if you drop this thing in water a small air bubble will surely escape. Thus, there's too much dead space ;)
That's a weird way to determine that a game is more demanding. Neither Miles nor Demon's Souls looks more demanding than RDR2, a huge open-world game with top-notch graphics. Miles is a cross gen game. Demon's Souls doesn't even have RT, the next gen feature.
My point is, there's no point of reference with console exclusive games. You can't just say that an exclusive game is pushing the console to its limit when there's no way to be sure of it (vs its performance on PC).
That's why a game like Watch Dogs Legion will be more representative: a game with RT that even the most powerful gaming PCs are struggling with.
Do I think this thing will run hot and be loud when you get it on day one and maybe throughout its first year? No.
Do I think it's eventually going to be an issue? Yes. There's so little room for good airflow in this config, and dust is gonna get in this thing and obstruct it even further.
But, that's something that people will have to deal with in a year/2 years, or by the time a Slim revision of this comes out.
I wonder what are the temperature profiles of different locations inside the console, when the ambient room temperature is around 35C.

You think series X consoles are going to overheat en masse in about a year or two?
Digital Foundry have tested the noise, the heat and the power usage.
They've said the new Version of Gears 5 was the most demanding, which makes sense given how it looks and the new things they've turned on
So I'm not allowed to make up conclusions? Because some of you really want this to be a problem despite everyone telling you the opposite is true.
They expose the drive bay so you can clumsily install a new SSD if you want... that's been a PlayStation design since the PS2. Beyond that, nothing else is user serviceable.

People calling the PS5 PS3 sized clearly forgot the PS3s size, because the PS5 dwarfs everything in resent history.
Yes even the OG Xbox.
Yeah laying it flat looks like a bad idea most of it look like base on heat going up and out, laying it down going get in way of that air flow unless that fan really going for it but sounds like it not
Great, manual labor :P Why not just put a dust filter on the thing like a PC?
Eh, the ps5 is a bit lower than the series x in horizontal usage, which might make a difference for some peoples media stations.

A dust filter doesn't prevent dust from building up. You still have to clean out said filter every so often.
But it can be done with no tools or disassembly, just slip it off and wash it and you're done.
Haha that was my first thought, actually. Reminds me of his Red Bull f1 cars, so tightly packaged.
