See if that 4TB WD drive sale is still going on for 80 buck. That's a steal.
Mine does this too during heavy loads? system is whisper quiet otherwise so I'm hoping its just venting, its not really noticeable over the game volume, but I do notice when i'm up late gaming and have the volume really low
I did send a PM to one of the verified Xbox engineering team over on reddit when they were taking questions the other day and he replied that's its normal under heavy load
Yeah, I figured as much. The only time I've had the fans get really loud outside of a game was when using the Edge browser. Hasn't done that again since.

Mine does weird things during Gears of War. I can't tell if it's fans or coil at first. At first there is a variable sound. Eventually there is a constant whoosh that's more pleasant sounding.
That is exactly what a cooling solution should do. Be whisper quiet during idle, but transport warm air out of the system under heavy load.
You want to hear the moving air and not the fan. You can make a fan noiseless, but you cant make moving air noisless when it has to move around obstacles
If you can just inbox me how to extract the metadata from the file I think I know how using Davinci but not 100% sure.. Man gunna need a step by step on this one lol BTW where is youtube HDR tools a link please thanks.
Did you have to shrink the game manually, or did the system perform the function automatically?
It has been discussed about before in this thread but is the big discrepancy between people saying their system is whisper quite during demanding games and other people saying there is a noticeable fan noise just opinion on sound? What would cause some systems manufactured to be quieter than others? I am no hardware wiz.
So far my Scorpio Edition has been great. I've been playing it almost every day and have seen no issues apart from just one random controller disconnect when playing Cuphead (seriously I was fighting the Dragon and out of nowhere it gives me the disconnection notification). I do hear sound coming from the system more often than before but I think that's okay.
The 1TB size sucks for me though. Especially since my previous Xbox console had a 2TB hard drive.

Automatically. If you download it fresh, i think if it already was on your hard drive before the implementation you have to do it manually
I realized I made a really dumb mistake... or not so much? I think when I bought it, instead of putting my receipt in my jacket, I put it in the bag, which I then threw away.
But then again, since I got it launch day, my warranty period is a logically deduced and it shouldn't matter?

I'm sorry if this has been addressed, but does anyone know why YouTube isn't available or downloadable on the X?
In theory Microsoft COULD ask you to provide proof of purchase. That being said you should feel comfortable that Microsoft will give you at the very least 1 year of warranty (assuming you are in the USA) from launch day.
they track that shit automatically. if you're worried, just go register it:

Each machine is tuned different, some may produce more heat so the fans kick in more?
Mine has been perfect, also a Scorpio and getting daily use. I actually hear my external HDD more than my Scorpio. But no issues with noise at all.
This game on the X. Everytime i start it up i am blown away. And thats even on a 1080p screen.
I really hope that patch lands sometime next week. I was informed that we are off on Friday, so with the Thanksgiving holiday I have a 4 day weekend and diving into this would be great. Come on CD team...give me a great thanksgiving treat!
I did end up getting it and it's wonderful. There is so much personality in all the little dudes and the sound is superb to match the visuals. I was a bit worried about 30fps when the whole screen is panning constantly, but everything is so clear that it's not bad. It's great to get something so high quality in the "diversification" selections of the Xbox library.
People also have wildly different preferred room temperatures, and some store it in a little entertainment center slot while others leave it in open air, and some use an external hard drive so the one inside the Xbox would generate less heat.

I'm pretty sure that the noise issue that I was mentioning is just a hard drive being a hard drive and reading data like it's supposed to. It was night time and there was no other noise so that might have explained why I could hear it this time rather than in the daytime when there is a lot more noise going on. It's a very soft noise.
I have the exact same experience. I also never heard that gear up for some seconds but this may due to my One X stands is in a relatively confined space.
They are different ways of decoding audio digitally, so which is better would depend on the chipset in your receiver. Bitstream is kind of an old workaround of some issues that was also tied to some audio processing effects like room settings on 5.1 systems or virtual surround on 2.1 systems, but now technology is far advanced so uncompressed is a natural choice if your receiver is anywhere near new.
Realistically, unless you shelled out an obscene about of money for your speakers AND very deliberately placed them for ideal sound field casting, it's likely you wouldn't be able to hear a difference anyway because audio technology is so good/accessible/standardized these days that taking it next level is only really utilized when you do that in a room well designed for it. It's such a pain in the ass to do that most would probably be better off using headphones and a tactile transducer or a higher end 2.1 option for the same money they'd drop on a 5.1.
Even then, there is a massive range of audio quality between different games. Sound hasn't become as important as visuals to the gaming industry the way it has been for the film industry.
I have a Marantz SR60-10 so it's pretty new, they're a new option for Bluray's to pass trough sound directly on the receiver which I guess is the best option for movies ?
So if I get things right, I should used uncompressed 5.1 for gaming but maybe go bitstream for DTSX on movies ?
Mine does that too, only for a few seconds every few hours. It's in an open cabinet. Seen loads of people on reddit say the same too. Seems pretty normal.
More like stole it. UPS is hot trash and their workers break and steal shit all the time. I've experienced it both personally and professionally as a retail manager in the past and now operations manager for a warehouse. Push that shit hard as high up into corporate as you have to (or if the retailer you bought it from will cover it, whatev) because they have a bad company culture among their workers and supervisors. FedEx is way better, and while occasionally incompetent, at least always professional. Of course, USPS, while having some limitations on what you can do with them compared to private carriers, does have many laws on it making "failures" you get with private parcel companies a felony that will be found out by the postmaster, so they almost never happen.
Is the lighting in Titan fall 2 messed up. The colors on the guns just go completely black when not lit by a light source. Can't member if this happend in the PS4 version. I can see the characters hand underneath the stock of the gun just fine.
Haven't played TF2 yet but I wonder if there is an API glitch to iron out because in FFXV when we drive into a tunnel, the whole car turns black (I painted it white).
So does the Xbox vent itself differently when standing vertically to overcompensate the fact that the vents on one side is blocked while standing?
I'm curious how much safer / louder the heat gets or the fan runs when stood vertically vs horizontally

So I'm confused about RotTR. I installed the 30 GB update but the game only showed a black screen when I started it. I then learned about game shrinking and found out that I could shrink the game. However, now it doesn't show up in the shrinkable list but the size is still 57.3 GB with DLC. I don't think it has been shrunk at all? Anyway, I still only get a black screen when I start it. I have to download the whole game again, don't I? :/
Ok I've got a 4K TV (Samsung U6300) and an XB1. Should i trade in all my old games and my OG one for the X1? I don't play too much now with school ramping up but if i can get it for ~350 with my trade in, it won't break the bank. Help meeeee! Thx
Where'd you buy it from? Some places you can usually just go back and they can print you out a copy of the receipt. Assuming you paid with a debit or credit card. Not sure how cash purchases work.
Please tell me you are using the stand for it??? With the stand the vents would not be blocked. If you are not using a stand, you are going to have issues. There should be no difference in the position of the console for cooling as long as you are using the stand. The stand gives more than enough room for air to get in to cool the system.
Did you do a legit restart? I know it sounds too simple but I always do that...
Anybody buy the PowerA Vertical Console Stand? Seems to be the same design as the packed in Scorpio stand.
Yeah, powered the console off, cleared the cache, turned it on. Same problem.
How do I sign up to the Xbox Newsletter, if there is one? The PlayStation one was quite useful when I had a PS4.
That was my experience since the update...always nice to confirm.
Thanks!
Just got the console and it refuses to let me have 5.1 audio output. Keeps giving me an error message. The only time it lets me pick 5.1 without an error message is if I go back to Video Settings -> Advanced Video Settings and change Auto Detect to HDMI. However, if I do that, I can't do 4K HDR anymore...
Are they any chance MS will improve the disc installation in the future upgrade? I'm quite tired to wait hours before to play with a new game. That's ridiculous in 2017.
