I've been afraid to try and open mine. This makes it look pretty reasonable. Greatly appreciate this.
Honestly, it's super basic inside but very well engineered. I'm not a PC guy but I replaced the thermal paste on the cpu with very little electronic knowhow. I used these new graphite pads that people recommended and it's been working well for almost a year.
I just did it tonight after watching this. I've had it for a year and own 3 dogs. I was kind of shocked it was so clean inside from just using compressed air from the outside.
Don't be afraid its easy. I was afraid to unplug the fan but all good
I admit i was nervous too, but after watch step by step video on cleaning my series x, it was pretty easy. Now my xbox runs quiet then before
It’s not too bad if you can turn a screw driver and be gentle you will be fine. I vacuumed the inside of mine and dusted it with car detailing brushes along with air duster. Works good as new now.
Microsoft R&D really outdid themselves on the Series X. Such an easy jenga piece to take apart and put back. They really utilized every space of the shell.
A video on cleaning the Series S would be greatly appreciated too :)
I learned to enjoy taking the consoles apart and cleaning them. It's kinda therapeutic in a way.
I don’t want to ruin the “void warranty” sticker 😭
I live in India where it’s dusty. So I got these rubber inserts that go in the disc tray and the unused USB ports to block dust. Plus a full cover for when the Series X is fully powered down. Works pretty well. Thanks for the cleaning tutorial 🙏
Good ideas!
We have a long haired cat. I wont pretend its the same but this is a great idea
Smart! Got some that came w my PC case for USB drives. Very effective.
I use my Elite controller case to cover the top of my Series X when it's not in use.
Series X makes a perfect controller pedestal.
I just cover my consoles with pillow cases when not in use 😅
I opened mine a little bit just to get the dust out, and wow if you have cats (especially if they like hanging around) you definitely need to do this! There was massive dust bunnies everywhere
Ditto that. We have a cat and she hangs out with me in my office. I opened mine up about a year ago and there was a lot of dust bunnies in it. The series X is a well designed system. Super quiet, powerful, and very maintainable. Props to Microsoft on a well designed console.
I have 2 cats and 2 Border Collies! It was absolutely insane how much dust there was in there!

@@slamshift6927hasn't been an issue yet
@@slamshift6927you can replace those
I have an electric duster from Amazon. You plug it into an outlet. Holy moly it’s powerful. Even just spraying through the intake vents the first time it sprayed out some dust. I’ve done it, without opening it, about every 3 months for both my XSX and PS5 :)
Be careful, using that may cause a static electric shock and fry your console…
@@jonathankulesano it wont
@@jonathankulesait won't, you're just blowing air. People have been using compressed air cans on electronics for ever an this is not an issue. Now, there is some potential for a short to happen if you are in a dry environment and you touch a PCB and are not grounded.
@@jonathankulesa
this is why you always make sure the machine is turned off, this is how PC users do it as well, it's always best to unplug it and then do your cleaning.
Yes please. Do a video on how to clean a switch
There's a way to clean the Switch? Tf
Wipe the screen off. Walah!
If the switch doesn’t have a fan inside then dust build up isn’t really a concern because it’s passively being cooled. I’d be more concerned about my screen and joycon drift.
@@animegeek6118there is a fan in the OG Switch at least idk about the newer ones
Isopropyl alchohol(preferably 90% of higher) is great for lifting stickers. It disolves the adhesive, allowing you to easily lify the sticker. When the alcohol evaporates(quickly), it leaves behind 100% of the original adhesive. This allows you to re-adhere the sticker as if it had never been removed.
It’s good to point that you don’t lose your warranty by opening your system!
Funny note, I was literally just watching your tear down video of the Xbox Series X because I’m planing to clean it, my gosh are you playing football WITH your Xbox? Hahaha it’s all scratched 😂😂😂
These are the kind of videos I really value. Nothing technical apart from being careful. Same when it comes to mods - I have soldering kit but scared about damaging things.
I got a PS5 but still need a series x. Want to get starfield eventually.
Get a PC instead
@@dicegamenetworkYup get a PC and play games from all the consoles.
You need to learn the difference between "need" and "want"
@@LogicalError007The problem is they cost twice as much, however I do think that the end game for any gamer is PC.
@@dicegamenetworkon pc will have bar optimization
rtx 2080 is dor recommended
and rtx 2070s is weaker than xbox series x
Yes please, do one for Switch (maybe with the battery change) and also for Series S.
I've never opened the Switch but, I've opened up the joy cons and they were a pain as they're super compact. I can see the same thing with the Switch itself as it's super slim.
I have a Series S, if possible I'd like a video on that one too.
There are others available online, but this is easily one of the most trustworthy people online.
I recently cleaned out a PS3 slim I was given after seeing your videos. The slim was easy enough with its modular design. Three security screws made it a little difficult. Still I like it when manufacturers make it easier for us basic folks to look after our stuff. Like this video I unplugged the power supply, fan etc. The fan and heat sink definitely needed a clean. I found a soft old paint brush helpful and some cotton swabs.
You just earn a new subscriber! I really needed to see this, and now its a reality. Our house has been through some renovation and my room with the Series X is a bit dusty now, Im a huge perfectionist and this really help me to understand how simple is to clean up the Xbox itself.
Thank you so much for this video, it was a pain in the ass to get inside to the previous consoles.
Im so glad that Microsoft did the Series X the way they did it, its a wonderful console and its cooling system is really the best I ever seen.
Now I just need to clean the rest of the room with my bare hands and than go to the big X at the end. Thank you very much! Thanks!
That’s why I bought port plugs and dust covers for the fan intake ports. Plus, it’s on its side so less dust settles in the outtake.
I have to say that the ingenuity and design that the engineers at xbox did with the series x is incredible.
When i first got the x i played horizontal but figured id try veritcal and i have to say it pushes out hot air and the bottom intake is usually sucking in air. And its also easy to clean
Credit where credit's due, Microsoft seriously streamlined the accessibility of accessing system internals & removing components with relative ease.
Gonna make my eventual cleaning spree a hell of a lot more easier.
Man, this is MUCH easier to take apart than the Xbox 360. It took me hours to tear that thing open, and here you can remove two screws and a couple clips? Love it
These are some of the most valuable Spawn Wave videos/content for me. Thanks for uploading this!!!!
Awesome video brother...Great job!
I love that you made this. Already subscribed but liked and commented for that sweet sweet engagement.
Great video! I've had some overheating issues and turned out I had some dog hair stuck in the fan causing it to stick. This video couldn't have been dropped at a better time. ❤
Great video again mate! Always appreciate your content. Been subscribed a long time. Always appreciate you just sticking to video game topics and not involving the crazy world we live in! Keep it up!
How dare he not comment or like this comment I will show my support thank you my brudda
Thank you for doing these Spawn
Ive seen your videos around and now im a subscriber thanks to this particular video. Good job my friend. Thanks.
This was very helpful I was able to open it up clean it with no issue thank you for the walkthrough of how to do this
Just went through this. Perfect guide. Thank you! I got my Series X when it launched and this is the first time I opened it up. It wasn't nearly as dusty as I feared. Still glad I cleaned it out though
Thanks for this, seems easier than what I thought
I’m enjoying these videos as an owner of both of these consoles. Mines are due for a good cleaning, especially my Xbox lol
Good looking out bro...just did the PS5 using your video! 💪🏾💪🏾
I was one of the people that made that request. thanks for doing it
I absolutely love the hardware of the series x, really well thought out design and even though its imitating the corsair one its a good imitation. I only with the exterior and UI could have looked as unique as its internals.
I cleaned out my console earlier this year after I had a shutdown playing Resident Evil 2. Owner since launch, I indeed had a very dirty Xbox. Bought the necessary tools, followed a guide and had almost no issue cleaning it, with the most troubling thing being taking off the base plate. I had to brute for my T6 as I didn't have a flathead small enough to to fit. Its not hard at all, and there's almost zero risk if you are on a clean and flat surface. Trust your ability to be careful being the best advice here.
Great video. I've torn down and cleaned/repaired every Xbox except the new Series S and X. I can't wait to get one of these to tear into. It's like a jigsaw puzzle to me. I find it rewarding to get a abused dusty machine and have a new looking clean quiet machine as a result.
Thanks John, been thinking about doing mine, now I know how to! 👍🏻
Great video m8 for the multi platforms
I definitely would want a Switch cleaning vid, and Series S perhaps too. Switch might be a little more difficult.
Great video as always though!
Very informative video, thanks 😊
ordering vent filters from Temu is also a very good thing I reccomend for Series X owners, those holes are massive and a dust trap.
I remember taking apart the 360 and fixing it when it got the red ring with my dad lol this is such a simple design crazy how far tech has come
thanks for the tip! Didnt know that, I'll do it later today
A Series S and Switch tutorial please 🙏, your guides are so helpful and personally very enjoyable to watch.
Thank You John!
DEFINITELY saving this video for later, thank Spawn 🤙🏽
Please do a Switch cleaning now!
I keep mine under a cloth when I’m not playing, as I don’t think the fan turns on while I’m not using it, so it’s quite clean
I like to use a thin microfibre cloth/paper towel damped with deionized water to clean fans, tight spots and metal parts.
Anyway, Series X is so well enginereed, I gotta appreciate how compact it is compared to PS5. Good video, it's always reassuring to see someone showing how to do it first.
This is the video I’ve been waiting for
Pulling the air from the bottom and side and venting it out to the top is what many pcs do. It's not surprising.
Heat rises so it's efficent and smart engineering.
I wont ever buy a console, but props to them for creating something that makes sense.
Crazy last night I was like I need to do a proper cleaning on my xbox and bam a video awesome thanks great video.
You're a good man Jon, thanks for looking out for your community regardless of what console they prefer to play on.
Thanks to yours and tronixfix videos I was able to deep clean reapply thermal paste to both my original Xbox one and original PS4. Artic mx6 is the shit 🤘
Yes a complete Switch disassembly and cleaning would be great!!!
Did this last night after having it sit in my bookmarks for months. But my series x was making LOUD fan noises and I decided it was time. I'm so glad I did! Now my fan is whisper quiet!
I have 3 dogs and 1 cat. I fight dust all the time in my house but my xbox series x was actually super clean on the inside. I have always used cheese cloth over it while not on because it lets it breath while still keeping crap out. It worked very well.
Great work and yes plus, a switch video for sure!
Good stuff man 😊😊
Did it, think It went ok... time will tell. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for this cleaning guide.
Great video. Thanks :)
My best tip to know it's alive, put your ear on top of the console so you can hear it turn on? And put your hand on the fan to feel the air?
thanks! i will try to do ths soon.
I would use a small light vacuum. Compressed air only moves dust, doesn't remove it and can actually push it deeper into the console or further into the heatsink fins. Wipe extra loose dust, dont blow it around with air cuz that aint "cleaning", thats just relocating dust.
If they're going to make a slim or Pro version of the Xbox or PS5, I think 1 feature they should implement is making it more modular and easily accessible in terms of getting to some of the core components. That way it will make cleaning regularly easier. For PS5 they should have 2 expandable NVMe slots.
Xbox slim is the series s. There will be no Xbox pro.
@tylerm5862 If a PS5 pro officially comes out, I can guarantee an Xbox Version will, no matter what Phil Spencer says.
@autoscopy Yes, thank you for your guarantee, a random guy on the internet who knows Xbox plans more than Phil Spencer. Lol
@@tylerm5862 Sure thing. People in power of corporations never lie random guy on the internet. Lol
@autoscopy Honestly, I don't know what you're even referencing. I'm unaware of whatever Phil Spencer has said. Just to me, it makes sense why it wouldn't happen. Also, you're the one throwing around "gurantee" about nothing you have no power in or decision. It's rather dumb.
Man the Xbox Series X is probably one of the best built consoles ever I mean it's so small sleek and compact yet powerful as hell and easy as hell to teardown. The maintenance for it is so simple I feel like anybody could really do it. Very fantastic console indeed.
DC fans use delicate ball bearings. Never manhandle them like this demonstration shows or you will likely knock the fan out of its alignment and it will end up rattling.
Only used compressed air and if you must get Hands-on only use a delicate painters brush with fine soft bristles.
If your console is really dirty and or taking it apart grab Isopropyl alcohol wipes. I use them when taking PCs apart and it's easier than trying to get bottles of the stuff. Especially if it's hard to find as bottles of the stuff aren't allowed on planes. If you order online were it needs to be put on a plane at some point. They won't deliver it to you.
Just put a dust filter in the inlet which will decrease air flow BUT with the help of an additional exhaust fan, it should not only keep the Xbox cooler then original but keep it clean.
Thanks for the video I just pulled a small fuzz rug off my heat sink. I was getting the over heating message the last couple days. It probably has been running almost 24/7 since the day I bought it 3 years ago. I have cleaned and vacuumed it from the outside. After opening it up though I found my problems 😂
I couldn’t even run my Xbox for 1 hour previously and it would over heat right at the most intense part of the game and I would lose all my progress
Easiest way to clean the Xbox sX is to get a henry vacuum or a super vacuum of the like, then suck up through the holes baby, while its off and a fan blowing from underneath lol
Thanks for this Xbox cleaning tut. It will definitely come in handy.👍
4:39 Dust bunnies.👍🐰
great video! my Xbox is close to my front door so I'm sure it's picking up all types on pollen and other things
Thank you!
I'd be interested in a video for the switch. Mine is an original 2017 unit. I take care of it and it runs fine, but probably due to be cleaned. Maybe fresh thermal paste too.
A video for switch would be awesome too!
You should have advised people doing this to not allow the fan to spin when blowing it out. It won't always create problems but can bork the bearing if it spins out too fast. I'm not sure the quality of the fan's components but still best to be cautious. This is especially a danger for cleaning fans still attached to a board, as the motor can actually force a voltage to be sent back to the board.
Thank you for.the cleaning tutorial, much appreciated bro.
Thanks Spawnwave, great vid, i forgot how quiet the series x is when its not full of dust
I’ve never cleaned any of my consoles. From PlayStation 1 to XBox Series X. I’ve had all PS consoles and all generation of XBox. Each lasting me about 8 years. Except for most recent consoles of course. I wouldn’t suggest this unless you’re experiencing issues with your fan. Also do not use compressed air. It has a type of coolant in it which can ruin components of your console.
I clean the outside monthly so when I opened mine up i was really surprised how nasty the heatsink was. If you run the default power settings of always on it needs to be done more often.
You the 🐐 thank you for this
This is great. I’d love a video of Nintendo Switch, and this could always be a whole series - Switch, Wii U, Wii, GameCube, N64 SNES, NES, X-Box Series, X-Box One, 360, and the Original X-Box. Don’t forget the PS’s 1-5 😮
Im getting an Xbox Series X in a few days, and watching this video made things less stressfull when I have to clean it in future use lol
Very informative video 👏🏽 I would totally do this if I didn't buy the 2 year warranty the day I bought my Xbox Series X lol. I have filters on my console though.
Appreciate the video! Made cleaning my Series X a breeze. Could you do a video on how to clean the Series S? Both my siblings have a Series S and I'd like to clean it for them.
awesome this really helps on what to do without ruining your series x and did you say you need a torque screwdriver?
Great video, you should do the whole switch family too 🙏
Helpful video
Thanks!!!
They made it so easy!
Definitely do a switch video! You can make a series out of it and clean all the consoles you have.
Amazing, thanks. I'm planning on using a heat gun for the stickers because I'd like it to stay minty and plan on using a mini vacuum. Is it ok if I use a mini vacuum? Thanks again!
Definitely wouldn't mind a Switch cleaning video.
This is definitely easy, could you do one on the Series S?
Yes please!!!
John, my CD drive has a hard time reading the disks. How would you go about cleaning the lazer?
Does this set work with the series x and ps5? I have both consoles and would like a set that works with both. Both of mine are purchased this year and I keep everything surrounding my consoles dusted. No pets and no smoking and my entertainment center is completely open without doors.
Great vid man. Very helpful.
Yes, I would be impressed if you would tell me how to clean the series collection
After 3 years or so of mine running all day, every day in a house with long haired cats, I cleaned mine. There was almost nothing to clean so that's good to know it's not gonna need this all the time.
