I have a question for the noise OCD people like me that I would like to ask. when your Xbox one X is very close to you and you playing in a muted room ( TV is on mute, no AC or pc noise ) , do you hear the fan spinning changing every few seconds like its sort of wave up and down ? mind you its not very loud. but the fan speed in my system keep changing up and down continuously.

I noticed this while playing Gears of War in 4k.

the console it self is dead silent. its nothing compared to my ex ps4 pro.

I have only been playing Wolfenstein II so far (looks so dang good!). It yo-yos from dead silent to a decent level of sound while playing. How is the noise for other people while playing other games? Anyone else experiencing it working pretty hard with Wolfenstein?

Went to Target this morning when they opened and got one. They only had two by the looks of it. I love the way this thing looks. The only games I've played so far are Forza 7 and AC:Origins. Forza is an absolute looker. My jaw was on the floor. AC looks amazing as well. I have the game for my Pro as well and it just looks much more crisp on the X. I'm leaning towards playing all third party titles on Xbox now.

Then i suppose it sounds normal. lets hear what others will say ( even though i am very sure some here will just come and say " i cant hear anything !!" without actually proper testing ) lol

A rising tide lifts all boats. I really hope MS and Sony can learn from one another here! The X is just a fantastic piece of hardware, whisper quiet. My Pro sounds like a train pulling into station when I play Wolfenstein 2. I hope MS now looks to developing more first party because they've just aced hardware.

Anybody play Dishonored 2 on the X? Tempted to buy it. Downloaded the trial off the store and it runs like shit, but I'm guessing that's because they didn't bother patching a demo.
Gears and Halo 5 look insane. Can't wait for MCC and FH3 updates next year. Gonna have to by a HDD tho.

Is anyone having trouble redeeming the 1 month game pass that was inside the box? When trying to redeem the code through the dash, it just redirects me to Microsoft error with that "something went wrong" message...

Will I, as a 1080p poor, see a difference?
I am currently playing on a 1080p set and I am blown away by the difference, honestly. Forza is a world away from playing it two days ago. Definitely check it out if you get a chance. This system does a lot more on a 1080 set than I would have expected. I'm really impressed.

eh ? wtf how ? this is not the first time i hear the xbox one x failing . many reddit users are saying the same thing.

It just randomly turned itself off, with the controller light blinking. Trying to start the console with the power button just gives me a chirp and the power button flashing for a second. Then nothing. Controller won't even connect.

Setting up my X and not sure what video settings to use. Should I allow YCC 4:2:2?

Also my TV supports 10 Bit so I should obviously use that color depth?

What XboX do on 4K tv if the game is not 4K ?

Supersample and 16xAF are default for 1080p panels...I got it

But what will happen when i want to play a 1080p game on 4K panel ? Will it do 16xAF by default ?

At first I was like "this thing is dead quiet" but then I launched insects demo and I was able to hear fan blowing air, nothing special. But when I put my head at 50cm distance I started hearing really unpleasant noise like fan is scratching something with every spin, clicking of sorts(not from hdd, I'm sure). I would like to know how doest it sound in other consoles. Do you have some other noises or is it just continuous static humm of air being blown out?

Honestly do not need one of these right now having a huge backlog on the other consoles and a nice PC, but the Skate 3 enhancement news has me super tempted to just pull the trigger. Skate is my most played franchise hours wise, so I am now somehow beginning to rationalize a $500 Skate 3 machine. Hoping Amped or Amped 2 get added for OG Xbox compat too.

If its a muted room and the TV is off, you might hear the fan and hdd if its downloading / installing something .

I love reading all these impressions while being disappointed that the German MS Store still hasn't shipped my preorder... :-( Hopefully they at least will deliver in time for the weekend. I am looking forward to test out the BC the most =)
