Selvom konsolproducenter som Microsoft og Sony naturligvis også tænker på støj og varme når de designer deres konsoller, så er der, i flere omgange, blevet udgivet konsoller der har haft problemer med netop disse to aspekter.
Dog lader det til, at Microsoft har tænkt over tingene med Xbox Series X. Om ikke andet er netop varme og særligt støj store fokusområder. I en ny artikel om designet af Xbox Series X og og Series S forklarer Microsoft, at Series X er designet til at kunne køre uden at støje.
"The team got lots of great feedback from the customers they shared the Xbox Series X prototypes with, so it was time to dive into the work of solving the technical challenges that came with it. Xbox Series X features the most powerful System on Chip (SoC) ever from Xbox, and creatively cooling that chip with a single axial fan is what unlocked the solution to the form. By splitting the motherboard in half and bolting each side to the central aluminum chassis, the team was able to pull a huge amount of air through the entire system at a low enough acoustic level to keep the console running quietly and efficiently."
Igen, vi har endnu ikke set en Xbox Series X køre spil, men vi vil naturligvis monitorere støjniveauerne når vi får en.
