Internal Cooling Fan
The large 130mm axial fan uses a fluid dynamic bearing that can fail prematurely due to dust ingress or lubricant evaporation. Once the bearing loses its center of gravity, the fan blades (impeller) strike the plastic shroud, creating a distinct grinding sound that increases with RPM.

UHD Optical Disc Drive Assembly
Users often misidentify disc drive whirring as fan noise. A faulty spindle motor or an off-balance disc within the drive will create a heavy mechanical grinding sound, particularly because the Series X rotates discs at extremely high velocities for data throughput.

Fan Mounting Rubber Grommets
These silicone dampeners isolate the fan's motor vibrations from the console's outer shell. If these grommets become brittle or misaligned, the normal motor oscillations are amplified by the console's plastic chassis, resulting in a low-frequency grinding or buzzing resonance.
