That first and second image is what I see when I look up on the back of the console, it seems the dust is blocking hard the air flow. My Series X just started being a bit noisy. I plan to open it up and make a deep cleaning Posted by Doctor_TM5

LostSoulNo1981 on April 16, 2026 5:54 am I’ve had my Series X for about 5 years now and it’s nowhere near this bad, and I’ve never opened it up for cleaning. I just clean around it regularly and it keeps dust from getting into the console.
