An Xbox Series S owner on Reddit took their console apart after it developed dramatically louder fan noise. When they opened it up they found extensive buildup from smoking, dust and general grime that had accumulated inside the system.

  • Reddit post by user "Outrageous-Set-1758" prompted the clean-up after the console began producing a much louder fan noise.
  • Owner reports the system sounded far noisier than normal; once disassembled, heavy deposits of dust, ash and dirt were visible around vents and components.
  • Images shared in the thread show how smoking indoors and allowing dust to collect can lead to significant contamination of internal parts.
  • The example underscores how environmental factors and upkeep affect small, vent-reliant consoles like the Series S.
