One thing that you didn't mention in your video is that the processor is different. It is now a 6nm processor which requires less power so less cooling is needed, hence the heat sink design change.
Would look cool putting the old black green stand on the robot white series X with the green black stand being more highlighted with the white of the new X
That would most likely require some software modification as well. If the system still has some UI thing to eject discs or such, (IDR if the regular boxes actually have that. ?) then maybe. But I still figure that would be quite a maybe.
I just subscribed to your channels a little while ago and I wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos. The Restorish channel is great too. You've helped me gain a little confidence in working on my electronics, even if it's just upgrading my PCs or general simple repair stuff. Thanks 👍
The little fail at the end, made me laugh, but this is what I was talking about in the discord server, leaving some fails, to show people even the best can do some mistakes 😂👍 great video, and I am certainly waiting the video of trying to put the disk drive into the digital
Looks like your feeling much better and I am glad to see that man! Great video and yes plese do a video checking to see if the old style heat sink cools better than the new or if they work the same. Always interesting to find out. Praying you have a full recovery!
Enjoy watching your videos more than I thought I would. You’re lookin much healthier lately as well. Look forward to seeing how you tear apart the next gen consoles soon.
Personally I see it as pointless - if you're spending the cash for the all digital version I'd rather spend the extra £30 here & get the full thing when there's less than 10% difference, if it had been like the PS5 then there's a decision, but the £30 in savings is barely worth thinking about. Nice to see it's essentially the same thing internally, should mean the availability of parts is widespread & easy to handle!
I'm not a gamer, but will these "digital" consoles be useless bricks in say 15 years if you pull one out of your closet and want to relive some games you used to play? I assume they all require on line sign in, and those servers will be long gone.
Hi Steve, something about the power supply is missing. It should have an amp Reading of 12v 21.25 amps. 12v 5 amps should be the supporting rail. So I believe the lowered just the supporting rail for the disc Drive.
@@topherd1011 hey man you're the one thinking invisible men exist. people like steve and i have actual knowledge and dont rely on nonsense magic wishes. try thinking for yourself sometime. oh wait, you can't... your religion prevents any common sense.
@@Tronicsfix it honestly has me really worried about my Series X. I love the thing, saved up 3 months for it. I wouldn't want it to become useless because of its SSD. I am strongly considering getting an Xbox One again due to it being more repairable
@@vinyminotaur2694 just say ur still on Xbox One cuz u couldnt get a SX yet bro. Nobody would go backwards and get a Xbox One just because of the SSD being locked into the SX. Its ok that u cant afford yet, we're not judging UNTIL u come lying about it.
Of course we want to see you transfer the components to see if the disc drive can be enabled :) presumably it would need a firmware flash as well though? Looking good dude.
I want to see someone put the regular vapor chamber on the new smaller chip to see if that does a better job cooling since a vapor chamber is a better cooler than what's on/in the new series X with the pipes. From other videos I've watched it seems like it would fit. Also put the X shield on the new series x that's no longer on there from original series X. Edit: made this comment early in video and at the end tpu mentioned doing what I said lol
I own a SX but I don't really care for these "new" versions. I just clicked the video to see how you were doing and you look good and I'm glad for that. Keep getting better, bro. Cheers from Mexico.
I absolutely would like a future video with interchangeable components for the disc drive and the heat sink. It would be cool to measure re and after temperatures as well.
If you do, try to install the disk drive. Before you do any soldering, can you do a closer inspection of that side of the board (I know you would naturally) first? Because just pausing it, other than the soldered parts, there is quite a difference in that area that I am curious about.
Voltage is push, while amps is pull. So if you install a power supply that is higher voltage than your machine it will blow something, but if you install a power supply with a higher amperage it’s ok as your machine will only pull the amps it’s requires.
I don’t know why they made an all digital Series X when they had the Series S. The allure of the original Series X was that you could still go buy physical copies of the games and play them.
Surely you could place the disk drive components on the new model, but disc would never work as the driver is paired with the board, and that’s done at HWID level which is unique for each unit, but surely would be an interesting exercise
Isn't the Disc drive paired to the motherboard? Also when it comes to a PSU, the rated amps denotes the maximum amount the PSU can output, It is up to the device itself to request how many amps it needs so a PSU of the same voltage but a higher amperage will work just fine on a system that uses less amps. On the original 360 systems the PSU bricks were always forwards compatible with lower power 360 systems but not backwards compatible as they wouldn't provide enough power that way.
not surprising they kept everything more or less the same in the console but I definitely believe they kept the screw slots for the disc drive in because they know people would rather have their physical copies
Before attempting to swap heatsinks, you'll want to measure the package height of the old vs the new 6nm processor. If the stack height is different you could damage something if you swap heatsinks.
I'm seeing a lot of cost optimization in this comparison. Hopefully nothing that affects longevity. I wonder how many of these changes can be found on the latest disc versions?
Of course we want to see if adding a drive is possible!! So are all the component marking gone or just lightened so you can't see them? If they're gone, that seems like an anti-repairable step!
One thing that you didn't mention in your video is that the processor is different. It is now a 6nm processor which requires less power so less cooling is needed, hence the heat sink design change.
Yep, you're totally right. Not sure how I missed mentioning that. It's even in my notes, lol.
Also, the silk screen is missing on the newer model.
What about the new Series S model?
Would look cool putting the old black green stand on the robot white series X with the green black stand being more highlighted with the white of the new X
that could explain the changes all over the mother- and daughterboard
Man... You are looking so much better. Happy for you and thank you for all the videos!
Steve! You read my mind about wanting to see if a disc drive would work with this console. I'd love to see that. Great video!
Yeah I'm surprised the pads for the components are still there, every one of those boards is a new revision after all.
Me too I'd like to see that.
That would most likely require some software modification as well.
If the system still has some UI thing to eject discs or such, (IDR if the regular boxes actually have that. ?) then maybe. But I still figure that would be quite a maybe.
@@lemagreengreen Aren't they making any more SX with disc readers though? The node shrink board would still be used, and similar enough then.
Probably it will not work but I still want to see it you replacing that's parts .
You're looking so good!!!
Heck ya! Thanks!
@@Tronicsfix You're welcome! Lots of love, buddy!
@@interrobangingseu dude is a warrior
@@Tronicsfix did you beat cancer
I kinda get the reason why they lock some of that down… but it’s so reliant on parts that wear out or have faults, it become extremely frustrating.
Looking good Steve, ive missed a bit of your stuff and any updates the last few months but you are looking so much better
Thanks for mentioning the difference in output between the new psu and the old one and advising against using the new psu in an older model.

1:09 "just wiggle back and forth as I pull out" - now you're a father 🤣
Id really like to see the drive installed if possible... Also, I am very happy to see you are doing ok
10:38 I was hoping to hear the angelical sounds and sparklies :(
Yeah, my editor edits most of my videos but I usually edit videos with a time crunch like this one and I'm not as good of an editor as he is, lol
@@Tronicsfix it's ok 😜 excellent video as always!

I've been waiting for a video just like this for the new consoles what a coincidence it came on one of my favorite channels!
I'm happy to see you like this!

I don’t understand why they make this version. It’s the same size and removes an important aspect. The future is bleak for collectors
Hello there, glad you back on track and you looking good. Hope it stays the same. Awaiting future videos. Keep up the good work
You're looking so much healthier! Great video and glad to see you looking good.
DAMNNNN i hope you feel as good as you look

😂 Love the gaff, at the end. Great tear down. Day 1 xbxsrx still going strong. Vapor chamber now gone. Replacement heat pipes. Ms cost cutting.
Yes, I'd like to see the component install video.
Oh man. It's so nice to see you're doing better!!!
You are also “Pretty Repairable” it would seem bro. Glad you’re better! Lookin great👍.
completely off topic here but, man Tronics looks very healthy and his Hairs coming back in nice!! loving the videos man!
It is our pleasure to see you try solder on the disc connector just to see if it works! Can’t wait for that video!
Very happy to see you are better. Greetings from Brazil!
Um, yes. I'd love to see that video. Definitely worth a shot, for sure!

Shame the SSDs are locked with a unique key which will be a problem of it dies, rendering the console completely useless.
That's my least favorite thing about this generation of Xbox
@@Tronicsfix it honestly has me really worried about my Series X. I love the thing, saved up 3 months for it. I wouldn't want it to become useless because of its SSD. I am strongly considering getting an Xbox One again due to it being more repairable
You could always get a replacement SSD and clone it so you have it in case it goes bad.
@@Tronicsfix unfortunately the keys they use to pair them changes after every software update

I'd love to see a video of you trying to install a Disc drive on this new console, I'm very curious!
Of course we want to see you transfer the components to see if the disc drive can be enabled :) presumably it would need a firmware flash as well though?
Looking good dude.
As soon as i saw the bits missing i knew i could trust you to test it later, cant wait
This was a nice twist from your other videos. Nice to see the hair coming back!
Yep defo would be interesting to see if the digi series x will work with a disc drive or have MS altered the bios to remove disc drive in the digi.
You look and so much better! Love the vids!

Looking amazing Steve! ❤
It’s also going to interesting too see if the southbridge and other chips are the same and swappable for repair purposes.
Bad ass console, i love it.
Yes I'd love to see you try to make one of these a disk edition !
plus for the clamp blooper
minus for the missing paste shine
I thought you had a fridge in your hands in the thumbnail xD Looking good!!
Nice Video. Xbox had the best console Build. Why does people dont Like the Xbox. Its a so good console.

Same, I just wanted to see how similar they are on the inside.
Video editor didn't do his job properly, there was no audio/video effects on thermal paste moment.
I was the video editor for this video! And I definitely didn't do my job properly, lol
hopefully sacked 😜
I absolutely would like a future video with interchangeable components for the disc drive and the heat sink. It would be cool to measure re and after temperatures as well.
yes we would love to see u experiment with the disc drive install
Awesome comparison Steve!😊
It's good to see you're getting your hair back Steve
Bro, I hope you are doing ok. I really do wish you well. Great video as always.
love you man
I would love to see if the disk drive would work. Glad you’re doing better!
No heavenly orchestra sound for thermal paste D: cool teardown. Would like to see interchanging parts (disk drive/heat sinks)!
Hope you’re doing well. Thanks for a other great video
Thats so smart. I like the white and the discless X
If you do, try to install the disk drive. Before you do any soldering, can you do a closer inspection of that side of the board (I know you would naturally) first? Because just pausing it, other than the soldered parts, there is quite a difference in that area that I am curious about.

Not sure if someone mentioned this or not. The power supplies may fit but since they have different amps, the pin outs could also be different.
Series X TRUE POWER
I cant wait to see the teardown of the PS5 pro!
I'm seeing a lot of cost optimization in this comparison. Hopefully nothing that affects longevity. I wonder how many of these changes can be found on the latest disc versions?
Senti falta do efeito depois de aplicar a pasta térmica 😂
7:29 thats bold claim and oportunity LOL, if they take you up on ur offer, you can squeeze them dry out of money lol :D
It would be great to try to connect the disc drive to the digitial version! Please try it 😊
7:29 u the best steve 😂
Yeah! I would like to see the disk drive to be mounted on the new console.
Anxiously waiting for Steve's Ps5 Pro teardown, maybe it's gonna be the 30th Anniversary limited edition 🤩
