Internal Cooling Fan
The Series X uses a large 130mm axial fan to pull air through the vertical chassis. Bearing wear or PWM signal failure prevents the fan from ramping up RPMs during high-load gaming sessions, leading to rapid heat soak in the vapor chamber. Replacing the fan restores the convective cooling capacity necessary to keep the SoC within safe thermal parameters.

Thermal Paste / Interface Material
Over time, the factory-applied thermal interface material (TIM) can pump out or dry out due to repeated thermal cycling. This increases the thermal resistance between the SoC and the vapor chamber, causing the chip to reach shutdown temperatures even if the fan is spinning. High-conductivity non-conductive paste ensures efficient heat transfer to the cooling assembly.

Vapor Chamber Heat Sink Assembly
If the console continues to overheat after cleaning and fan replacement, the vapor chamber may have suffered a micro-fracture, causing a loss of vacuum. Without the phase-change cycle of the internal working fluid, the copper base acts as a heat trap rather than a superconductor, necessitating a full assembly replacement.
