Cooling System for XSX

I didn't realize how bad I needed this! I got a fan when the available accessories were limited & that thing kinda sucks. The automatic fan is awesome & seeing the temperature spike on the display is very helpful! Then I know to turn on the fan at the base and remove the dust cover - it does a great job cooling my Xbox! Update: it's still getting the job done well & the manual mode has been an unexpectedly effective option for longer gaming sessions; Auto just cannot keep my Xbox series x below 95° for an extended period of time - not a complaint at all! The extra noise isn't even picked up by my headset mic with the noise gate set appropriately.

I got a series X (barely) used from a friend and was kinda shocked how warm my room got when playing. I had a cooling fan for my series S and wanted one for this. Read some reviews and websites and settled on this one. SO GLAD I DID. The temp reader is accurate and when I plugged it in after playing CFB25 for about an hour it was reading at 114°F! After 26 minutes the temp dropped all the way to 90°F where it stays when under load/gaming. That's incredible IMO and I'm very happy. I'm pairing this with another backplate cooling fan that shows up tomorrow so I can see if I can get the temps down closer to 80°F. If I can drop the temp 35°F for $50 I will say that it is money well spent without a doubt. Even just using this fan, I'm more than pleased and it is an absolute necessity. If you're thinking of getting a fan, get this one. You will not be disappointed. Afterthought: Tons of reviews on here say it's loud when on the fastest speed, but it's not. And if you have headphones on or even just a little volume on the TV or monitor while gaming, you will not hear it at all. I sit 3ft from it and cannot hear it at all while gaming. I'm a laptop gamer (due to work travel 3 weeks a month) and this is silent compared to laptop cooling. It's even quieter than my fan for my old series S and works 5 times better. My only "complaint" is that it stays running unless you unplug it entirely. Not that it's an issue, just annoying that it doesn't have a sleep or off setting. Not a huge enough issue that it deserves a star rating drop as the pros far outweigh the cons It has an auto function where it increases fan speed as temps rise or manual mode with three settings of slow, medium, fast. I keep it on fast at all times. I keep the RGB off entirely, never been a big bright light person. Photos are: 74°F while in menu, 90°F after 15 minutes playing PGA Tour 2K23 (it stays here no matter how long I play. Sometimes gets to 91° but will fluctuate between 90° & 91° every ten minutes or so).

Works well. Was having issues with my games suddenly cutting off and bought this to cool it down a bit. When I am playing games that demand a lot of power- I am getting to around 103 (highest) with the fan on auto setting and then it slowly cools that temp down. I can only image what the temp was before I installed this. Very quiet on the auto setting. On the highest you can hear it spinning. I believe this will extend the life of any xbox out there. Simple installation and is super compatible with the xbox cause all you have to do is plug it into your free USB slot on the xbox.

I gave the "G-Story Cooling Fan for Xbox Series X" 4 stars because the RGB lights stopped working 3 days after it was installed. I bought the G-STORY Cooling Fan for Xbox Series X with Automatic Fan Speed on March 31st, installed it on April 3rd, and the RGB light stopped working on April 6th. I only played my Series X twice after the installation of the cooling fan and for a couple of hours, no more than 3 hours each time. Installation of the fan was super easy, it clips right onto the exhaust vent of the Series X. The rubber plugs that are provided for the ports and disc drive were easy to pull apart and press into the openings of the system. The rubber plugs create a good seal to prevent air from being pulled in from around the openings of the ports and disc drive and prevent dust from getting into those areas which might affect the longevity of the system. The fan runs off of a USB cable that plugs into the back of the console and the LCD display will continue to display the consoles temp, even after the console is turned off. The fan will continue to run, even after the console is turned off, until the temp of the console is brought down to less than 95 degrees. The fan will keep the system running at a cool 95 degrees continuously. Before, my console would run at about 110-120 degrees. In short, the fan works and keeps your console cool, but the RGB light module stopped working after a few uses. I will continue to use it because it still does its main job of keeping my console cool. I do consider this to be a good product, it does what it is supposed to do.

This is the one. I’ve had many of these types of fans but this one so far has performed well above my expectations. I like that it gives you an accurate temperature read, I can confirm it is accurate as I tested with a thermometer. The fan is strong, and some level of noise does come with the territory but I’m not bothered by it. I have a very small room and my Xbox started overheating not long ago. I live in New England and would normally require heat in the winter but my Xbox was running so hot (Thank you Baldur’s Gate 3) that my entire bedroom was warm enough that I was actually opening the window at times. When the fan arrived I’d been gaming for 3-4 hours and was curious to see what the temperature was, as like I said my Xbox was essentially heating my entire room for me. The first temperature read was a whopping 112* F - I can’t believe I’ve been abusing my Xbox this way! I installed the fan right away and started a timer. Within 10 minutes the temperature dropped down to 86* and after 20 minutes we were down to a comfortable temperature down in the high 70’s. 30 degrees cooler in 20 minutes - Impressive isnt the word. I was outright giddy! I will also add, that I have a charging base already with a fan the cools from bottom up. That model cost me just over $60, however it clearly doesn’t work that well if my console is running 112* even while running it full speed. I was sure the cooling dock would be great since it screws into the wall giving the vents underneath the Xbox room to breathe but it really hasn’t done much. At double the price of this fan I have to say I wish I’d just purchased this one first! There is a huge difference between the two, I noticed right away that this fan was blowing my hair while the other one doesn’t do much at all. This one does make a bit more noise, but as someone who uses the Xbox virtually every single day for 8+ hours, I’d much rather opt for function over noise level. I was pleased that this fan came with dust covers, I have cats and it gets really dusty, I’m fairly neurotic about maintaining the Xbox so needless to say I’m constantly cleaning and dusting it. I don’t know that it works as well with the dust plate on top while running the Xbox, so I think I’ll just use it when the fan isn’t running. The other dust covers though, I installed right away. My one and probably only qualm with this cooling fan was the dust plug covers. They came molded on a single sheet of rubber so you have to cut them yourself. The process was torture for me, as nothing less than perfect was going to be acceptable for my Autistic mind. Nevertheless I did fairly well cutting them out, I just wish I hadn’t needed to do all that. I would’ve preferred they come as separate pieces. Small complaint though. I highly recommend this product. It does what it promises and at a very affordable price.

It works great. My Xbox was absolutely overheating and you can feel a considerable difference in temp when you touch the shell as the fans on. The auto feature works great, you can hear the Xbox kick into overdrive and the fan does the same, then they both kinda calm down. It might take a second or two to get used to but after that it’s great. It attaches super easy, and the included screens are great for the back intake holes. I liked that bc cats lol. It also came with pop-out rubber plugs for all the ports which is cool. Don’t know how necessary that is but it’s included. It is not silent. You do hear a slight noise but it does not sound like a normal house fan. Same type of sound but not as heavy if that makes sense. So it’s not bad at all. If you have a desk fan or 3d printed fan it’s just like those. It’s like white noise. Great part is it will NOT KICK ON FOR VIDEOS. Watch your usual shows when you go to bed without a problem, it will shut off since it’s not heating up. Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, all that. Perfect for wanting a fan while you play but not for bedtime watching. The LED screen is insanely bright so maybe snip some electrical tape over the little peel screen it comes with and we’re snoozin. I would deduct a half star for that but Amazon won’t let me do halves so I won’t let my laziness drag it down. Overall I would absolutely recommend this fan. If you are looking for an absolutely silent fan, I would recommend ice packs in zip locks or something similar.

Never knew I needed this until I got it! What a difference it makes. My gameroom is fairly small, the room would get hot and stuffy when I played for a few hours. This has been a game changer. Not only does it tell you the temperature of your xbox, but the fan helps to keep things cool! I am very happy with this product and the purchase. If you're on the fence, get it. We'll worth the money.

So my xbox would shut down mid game around a year after purchasing. Doing some research it was overheating due to poor ventilation or the memory card was bad. I replaced the memory card as a warranty replacement and paid my $20 for the shipping of the replacement but the issue continued. I checked the temp out of the top(or side depending on orientation) and it was reading 130 degrees F when I was playing games. I order this and it solved the overheating issue and worked great. I did notice if I forgot to turn it on I would notice my game lagging and when turning it on the temp would be over 130. I have used this for over two years with no further issues. Long story short last month I was talking to someone and they told me they had that issues and Microsoft replaced the exhaust fan when they sent it in for repair. I found out you can buy these fans online for $30-$40 and replace yourself. After replacing I no longer need this fan. So do you need this fan? Yes if you are having heating issues and you A:Can't afford to pay someone to replace the internal fan or B: this is cheaper then buying the internal fan and replacing it yourself. Still well worth the money and was still running strong after 2 years running 2-4 hours a day.

That is really working very well

It attaches easily and looks good while doing a great job. very happy.

Llevo como dos meses y funciona bien 👍🏻 si hace que la consola NO se caliente demaciado aparte de que trae sus luces LED integrados y eso hace que se mire un poco más pro aparte que tra un indicador de temperatura, puedes ponerlo de forma Manuel o en automático para que el ventilador se encienda solo cuando la consola lo necesite o mejor especificado cuando la consola llega a un cierto grado de temperatura más alta se enciende de modo automatico pero si funciona para lo que es...

Ya configure todo muy fácil. LEAN el manual, deben aprender a configurarlo porque muchos critican que no funciona cuando tienen la solución en una hoja de papel.

I really like this fan set up, It works great and really cools the machine down quick. I also really like the auto and manual modes as well however it’s a little on the loud side but not too loud, especially on low. Also, the thermometer seems to be pretty accurate too for the most part. I would definitely recommend this unit for anyone looking to keep their machine cool. Also, this is an exhaust fan so it won’t affect stock fan motor or fan speed. Just simply pulls the heat out of the machine. Cheers
