@@jonathanoxlade4252 I don't think so. They make components in bulk so any change means re configuring the factories. They likely would bring out an upgraded form once technology has advanced and they have developed it further so that the existing cooling is enough for better hardware. With these systems though I can actually can see them bringing out cheaper versions. That they can reduce the heat capacity enough to shrink the heatsink and fan and use less quality components. Also just make them smaller so that more can fit into a store or into a truck. Almost every successful console has a version like that. Wii mini, NES top loader, PS3 superslim, PS2 slim, Genesis m2 and so forth.

I'm normally a ps guy but I like how clean the inside is. I wish one of these companies would male a unit with a clear case with some l.e.ds inside that you can customize the colors on...would be dope
@retr0 Nah the design is clean and will match most decent entertainment setups. The point is that it blends in with your speakers, TV etc so when you're playing, your focus is on the game. Not that PS5 looks bad, it's just a different design philosophy. The Xbox blends into your setup, the PS5 screams at you to look at it. Both will find their niches
I love how they did the same thing they did with the 360 but this time they did it slow and smart. They jammed all that tech in that rectangular box but this time they thought it through. Instead of thinking about trying to beat Sony out to stores, they actually are seriously competing against the PS5 with how they designed this. I really want one!! I am not leaving Sony, but it’s worth having both!! 🤔 This is how they thought the 360 would be back in the day. Good work Microsoft!! 👏👏👏🙌
About that is drawing more power from the system which is not a problem now but 5-7 years when games are fully optimize to push the system the limit might cause problems. This is still a console and not a PC
The photo documentation and screw-grouping tips at 17:15 are great. It's easy to lose track of things in unfamiliar hardware. I recommend taking extra care whenever multiple screw lengths are used. Depending on the particular hardware, extra photos of screws near their corresponding holes may do the trick, but you can also stick them through paper to keep them arranged and prevent them from rolling around or otherwise getting separated. If the screws are too thick and/or flat to push through the paper easily just use a tack or a staple to make a small hole first.
This is the ERA that needs the comically large heat sinks. Anyone with a gaming laptop understands lol. Pretty soon we'll be undervolting our consoles.
Not really an era thing, but more because of the limitation and confinement of space in gaming laptops. Chips are so good you pretty much have to have either a thick asf laptop or under volt the system
@@jaredpop463 I mix between the two. If I'm playing a SP game and want to chill I use the Series X from my couch on my nice 4K TV with surround sound. I just prefer the console experience from the couch. I've had my PC hooked up to my TV before for gaming and the experience just isn't the same. If I'm playing competitive games, or some of my older titles I play on my PC. Some titles make the jump on GamePass but there have been A LOT that didn't.
Thank you for tearing down the system. Hopefully you can get your hands on an Xbox Series S and do a teardown of that also. I received confirmation my Microsoft yesterday that my Series X has been dispatched. I can't wait to get it on Tuesday.
Same but remember depending on who you got it from there's a chance you might get it later in the week. I bought mines from Target and they already gave me an estimate of Nov 10th - 16th
I disagree on the last words. It's fairly easy to take the Series X apart. Follow a good instruction and keep your screws organized and nothing can go wrong. Much easier than the Xbox 360 for example. MS really did a great job with designing this console. Even as a PC builder Im impressed by the chosen eletrical components, the thick pcbs, the amount of aluminum(middle plate) as well of copper(vapor chamber). I counted 15 vrm phases which is huge and almost overkill for a circa 280 watt tdp device, but helps the console to be very power efficient. In contrast Sony uses an 8 phase design for the PS5.
@@1LuvMLPFiM I've had my xbox one s for a long while now. What's the point in dust cleaning? I know it's just never nice to have around but I'm wondering if it can cause issues or something
@@GruelingFive8 Dust maintenance is pretty important, it keeps the components from overheating. You don't need to take it apart, all you need is a can of dust off to keep the vents and fan unobstructed.
@@dq8262 Xbox 360 was much much better and more simple for kids to understand. Xbox one doesnt need all that following, clubs, trending or any social bullcrap. Bottlenecks the UI. They should let the community engage in games. Not in clubs or community updates.
So you opened the ps5 box which was packaged inside the amazon box which was packaged inside the series x fridge which was packaged by 6 military grade super computers which was packaged in a room
@@ohhbradley4460 dust really won’t effect it much Only part that needs cooling is the HeatSink which has ez access without Removing back panel. Just use a vacuum (no it Doesn’t harm your consoles) and the VRM etc all other major things that need cooling is Cooled using the Metal casing.
Ultimate quality hahaha It is not an SAMSUNG SSD And guess which smd parts are near the new (much better) x-clamp.. i would also put some heatsinks on them ;)
@@Scuba_Bro Because fanboys are disingenuous and delusional. Fanboys are the joke of the gaming community regardless of the corporation they've been manipulated by.

Imagine living in a free market society where you can buy multiple products and you choose only one and hate the rest because maybe you can't afford them or you're just dumb.

some are quick to assume that before this upcoming gen has even started, the revisions will do away with disc drives, and the next gen will be cloud gaming. digital purchases are increasing, but it is easy to assume we all live in the city with super fast broadband, 4k tv's and willing to pay 69.99 for the yearly digital COD release. the same people who assumed blu ray films would kill off dvd aisles in the shops
Cloud gaming is far away, but optical drives have been on the way out for years, somewhat doubt internal ones in consoles will last thru this gen they take up ALOT of space u could use for better performing hardware. Probally just start pushing externals for people who still uses physical copies.
Having to be connected to set up the Xbox initially has me concerned. I'm not always in a place to be online and what if I have to do a reset, do I still have to be connected to do the initial setup? My internet is just bogged by the amount of people connected to it, and lack of any wired due to location in relation to the modem. I still rip movies and store them on hard drives rather than rely solely on streaming as I'm always afraid of the day when I won't have an internet connection.
MS did an great job on the internals, the 360 RROD was an learning moment for them. Both the Ps5 and XsX will run cool just make sure you have room for them.
I could say the same about Sony learning from their Yellow light of death problems that happened like 13 years ago. No, the design is great on this console cause Phil Spencer has been really working hard as usual to set up awesome shit like this. He singlehandedly turned the brand around cause his predecessor drove it into the ground and left it as it was half sinking. "If you don't like our changes, keep your 360" the guy was just like Mark Z, an asshole. That is also why as good as One X was, that damn CPU dragged it down. In a New generation here, everything is going smoother
@@Deadsea_1993 Yes you are right the YLOD was an issue. It just wasn't quite as widespread as RROD. Would like to see what both Ps4pro/OneX would perform with Zen 2. I really think the OneX could had done 1440p/60fps in a lot of games if it used Zen 2. While Ps4pro would had did 1080p/60 pretty damn good.
Shoutout to the console design teams at Sony and Microsoft it’s nice to see the amount of care that goes into cooling and putting the consoles together
I always get nervous taking things apart. Off of what Spawn Wave said (new to this channel, don't know if he let out his name): DOC-U-MENT. On things I've never taken apart before, I always trace out the part I'm disassembling and mark where screws and cables go. Make a note of unique markings on the cable. If there aren't any, you can take a colored sharpie marker and just make a note of what the color means on both the cable and mark the color on the tracing sheet. Make written notes too ("cable goes to pizza-shaped thing" or "connects to the slot in the middle-right of the board"). And always take photos. It's best to have at least two points of reference. One is your own documentation, and the other is photos.
Great teardown video, really impressed by the engineering and high-quality parts used in this console. Props to Jason Ronald and the Xbox/MS engineering team!
It's so cool too see what's inside these powerful machines. It's also a marvel to see the ingenuity and time that the makers put into making this console work.
@@bryanking1428 I'm talking about build quality, choice of materials, cooling solution, and ease of maintenance. It is extremely well designed and engineered. And Jon even said himself in this video, with how good MS built it, he's surprised they could release it at $500.
Bruh removable ssd people don’t know how big of a game changer that is. SSD’s r proven to deteriorate after time I can confidently say Xbox has thought of it all honestly that removable ssd is going to save people sososo much money in the long run because SSD’s die regardless is if Xbox or Sony or any ssd after a set time it will go bad
It's less about deterioration, and more about advancement and cost savings. As long as the m.2 slot is near pcie4 specifications, that leaves tons of headroom for speed, and later in the generation years from now, you could feasibly replace even that short 2242 (length) nvme drive with something faster and larger. The largest one I could find in the 2242 form factor is 2TB, so twice what they've included already. They might even release a 2TB model of the Series X just on a whim, and they could do it with LITERALLY ZERO manufacturing changes, where Sony has to do a completely new mainboard SKU and change the process very early on in manufacturing. The PS5 having directly on-board memory CAN be advantage if it is done precisely right, but it's not repairable or replaceable, and it may be the case that future nand memory is far faster than any advantages gained from shortening the traces to the processor (by not having a slot)... Very weirdly to me, the Xbox One X seems to even beat the PS5 in loading speeds which should not be happening, Sony's storage hardware IS objectively faster... so it's likely an issue in Sony's software, as precisely how you handle the data is just as important as the hardware you pull it from.
I love how you can actually replace stuff if they break, and since I won't be doing the repairs I'm ok with it hehehe and that removable ssd c'mon big thumps up for Microsoft

About that is drawing more power from the system which is not a problem now but 5-7 years when games are fully optimize to push the system the limit might cause problems. This is still a console and not a PC
@@Infinite8blue it's like a couple watts,trust me .. it's fine
The photo documentation and screw-grouping tips at 17:15 are great. It's easy to lose track of things in unfamiliar hardware. I recommend taking extra care whenever multiple screw lengths are used. Depending on the particular hardware, extra photos of screws near their corresponding holes may do the trick, but you can also stick them through paper to keep them arranged and prevent them from rolling around or otherwise getting separated. If the screws are too thick and/or flat to push through the paper easily just use a tack or a staple to make a small hole first.
This is the ERA that needs the comically large heat sinks. Anyone with a gaming laptop understands lol. Pretty soon we'll be undervolting our consoles.
I'm just glad to be past the era of comically loud machines. Well, except for Dell laptops.
If you want quiet you need a big ol mass of metal to dump the heat into.
Not really an era thing, but more because of the limitation and confinement of space in gaming laptops. Chips are so good you pretty much have to have either a thick asf laptop or under volt the system

I disagree on the last words. It's fairly easy to take the Series X apart. Follow a good instruction and keep your screws organized and nothing can go wrong. Much easier than the Xbox 360 for example. MS really did a great job with designing this console. Even as a PC builder Im impressed by the chosen eletrical components, the thick pcbs, the amount of aluminum(middle plate) as well of copper(vapor chamber). I counted 15 vrm phases which is huge and almost overkill for a circa 280 watt tdp device, but helps the console to be very power efficient. In contrast Sony uses an 8 phase design for the PS5.

Here my for 10 year dam did Xbox miss up bad lol 😆
MS did an great job on the internals, the 360 RROD was an learning moment for them. Both the Ps5 and XsX will run cool just make sure you have room for them.
I could say the same about Sony learning from their Yellow light of death problems that happened like 13 years ago. No, the design is great on this console cause Phil Spencer has been really working hard as usual to set up awesome shit like this. He singlehandedly turned the brand around cause his predecessor drove it into the ground and left it as it was half sinking. "If you don't like our changes, keep your 360" the guy was just like Mark Z, an asshole. That is also why as good as One X was, that damn CPU dragged it down. In a New generation here, everything is going smoother
@@Deadsea_1993 Yes you are right the YLOD was an issue. It just wasn't quite as widespread as RROD. Would like to see what both Ps4pro/OneX would perform with Zen 2. I really think the OneX could had done 1440p/60fps in a lot of games if it used Zen 2. While Ps4pro would had did 1080p/60 pretty damn good.
Shoutout to the console design teams at Sony and Microsoft it’s nice to see the amount of care that goes into cooling and putting the consoles together
I’d be nervous taking it apart and trying to put everything back together.
Well, stop getting nervous so easily.
I always get nervous taking things apart.
Off of what Spawn Wave said (new to this channel, don't know if he let out his name): DOC-U-MENT. On things I've never taken apart before, I always trace out the part I'm disassembling and mark where screws and cables go. Make a note of unique markings on the cable. If there aren't any, you can take a colored sharpie marker and just make a note of what the color means on both the cable and mark the color on the tracing sheet. Make written notes too ("cable goes to pizza-shaped thing" or "connects to the slot in the middle-right of the board"). And always take photos. It's best to have at least two points of reference. One is your own documentation, and the other is photos.
Yeah, taking things apart sucks.

SSD’s r proven to deteriorate after time I can confidently say Xbox has thought of it all honestly that removable ssd is going to save people sososo much money in the long run because SSD’s die regardless is if Xbox or Sony or any ssd after a set time it will go bad
Even on older xbox and ps4 you can change the hard disk drive and even put a ssd
@@aliabdulsalam7803 PS3 too
It's less about deterioration, and more about advancement and cost savings. As long as the m.2 slot is near pcie4 specifications, that leaves tons of headroom for speed, and later in the generation years from now, you could feasibly replace even that short 2242 (length) nvme drive with something faster and larger. The largest one I could find in the 2242 form factor is 2TB, so twice what they've included already. They might even release a 2TB model of the Series X just on a whim, and they could do it with LITERALLY ZERO manufacturing changes, where Sony has to do a completely new mainboard SKU and change the process very early on in manufacturing.
The PS5 having directly on-board memory CAN be advantage if it is done precisely right, but it's not repairable or replaceable, and it may be the case that future nand memory is far faster than any advantages gained from shortening the traces to the processor (by not having a slot)... Very weirdly to me, the Xbox One X seems to even beat the PS5 in loading speeds which should not be happening, Sony's storage hardware IS objectively faster... so it's likely an issue in Sony's software, as precisely how you handle the data is just as important as the hardware you pull it from.
