Xbox Series X tuulettaa 70% enemmän kuin Xbox One

Microsoft on miettinyt huolella seuraavan konsolinsa Xbox Series X toimintaa aina sitä myöten, että konsolin muotoilu on poikkeuksellinen verrattuna aiempiin Xboxeihin. Jäähdytykseen totisesti panostetaan, sillä tuuletuksen luvataan olevan 70% runsaampi kuin Xbox Onella.

Asian paljasti Digital Foundrylle Microsoftin Principal Designer Chris Kujawski.

"With all that power, you have to move a lot of air and you want to move it quietly. We studied many different ways of doing air movement in a product and a single axial fan was the most efficient, the quietest air mover for our system... we do a bunch of customisations here, so the number of blades, particularly the blade geometry, is highly, highly optimised to operate within the confines of our system.

We also have to have good air in to the enclosure, so you have certain venting and large holes. You have exhaust out the top and we have large venting holes, but the net effect of putting all of this together, having parallel paths, having this really powerful quiet fan at the top, is that we get 70 per cent more airflow through this console than the past generation and we get 20 per cent more airflow through our heatsink alone than in the past generation."
