  • Since the loading times of my Xbox one X where driving me nuts, i decided to install an SSD. We also replaced the cooling paste of the GPU since the old one was completely dried up. The result is a faster and dead silent Xbox!

    Thank you
    I cloned and installed my Samsung Evo 870 . Worked great . No issues other than mine was 8 months old and had a lot of sealing strips . Panels stuck to metal housing .
    Load times on my heavily modded Skyrim were cut in more than half . Very happy.
    Thank you for taking the time to make your video .

    Thermal pads and paste and an SSD gave a lot of life to my Xbox One X bought used. Its pads were really badly placed with bad coverage and the paste was predictably dried up. Some Noctua paste and Thermal Grizzly 2mm pads got it running better than ever. A Samsung 870 Evo 2TB SSD was the cherry on top. It boots and runs and installs games much quicker and is far quieter.

    Did my Xbox One X a few months ago, well worth the effort as it not only boots up much faster but the UI alone is fast and far more stable. Loading the OS to the SSD made a huge improvement to the overall performance of my One X. Before, even when using my external SSD, things could tend to load slower but now everything is much faster. Sure it's not as fast as a Series X but it was still worth it.

      All PS5 consoles are going to die thanks to this stupid move by Sony.

Just bad engineering.

Insert drive to usb on xbox and after installing ssd boot system holding eject and sync buttons and press and release power while continuing to hold the other two until 2 beeps. Select offline update and it will install the whole OS. Spent more time putting the xbox back together than everything else combined. I used a relatively inexpensive Leven 2TB SSD with no issues.

    Should have grabbed a small electronic vac before you started. That looks like it could have been helpful.
    It is a 2.5 inch drive. They are pretty standard sizes. You'll be fine. Its not that they use particularly cheap thermal paste, though it sure isn't top of the line stuff. But it also thermal cycles A LOT, which isn't particularly good for longevity. If people would go from gaming, back to dashboard and give it 10 or so minutes to cool down slowly it would last quite a bit longer. But I also understand why no one does that. eh. Is what it is.

    It’s a worthwhile upgrade. When I got mine, I compared the two. 15 seconds on Monster Hunter world with SSD, over a minute with HDD. Big improvement. But hardly an upgrade, considering the SSD that comes with the Series X is that much better, and of course all its additional features, although I laugh when someone says it looks better on PC or Series X compared to Xbox One and PS4. I’ve compared them. It does look better, yes. But do you want to spend an additional $2,000-$3,000 for a PC that outdoes the One for that very slight up in graphics, or a Series X riddled with issues? Because it’s barely noticeable, it really is.

    • @andresbaron5189

      I played gears of war on the xbox one s, then the xbox one x, then i upgraded to the series x over 8. months ago and i have no big issues. I have upgraded over to gamepass to get newer games day 1 even tho i have over 100+ games in my library already. I dont wanna have to pay up to 70$ for a cross gen bundle of a game that i might not like. The upgrade from a xbox one s to a xbox one x isnt as noticeable if your tv/ monitor doesnt support 4k. Upgrading from the xbox1x to the xboxSX is a noticeable upgrade that even helped out my competive gameplay on gears of war. The quick resume is great. Its still a quiet console but i didnt come from ps4 so its not much of a difference. In my own experience, ive got to explore more of its benefits and little to no issues. The only issue id say i had was when i tried playing halo infinite the first day and it turned off by itself, and it hasnt happened again. Ive already had more issues with my ps5 and i barey got that one about 2 months ago. Spending 2k-3k on a pc is way different than spending 550$ on a console that is meant for only gaming. The ps3 came out at 500$-600$ day one and thay was capable of much less. With other consoles being around the same price. Idk if youre tryna point out that its better to just stick with your old gen console instead of upgrading, which i wont disagree with, if thats all you need to be satisfied. On the other hand, its been over more than 2 years since i last upgraded so ive earned more than enough money to buy a few consoles now, its safe for me to upgrade at my own expense. By your reasoning, i wouldve barely ugraded from a xbox 360 to an xbox one like 2 years ago and wait to upgrade this one, in about another 2-3 years.

      Nah bro you're wrong . Having a console that supports constant 60-120 FPS is definitely a game changer. On apex y'all run about 40 frames on average on PS4/Original Xbox One... My one X runs perfect I haven't experienced any issues personally. Same with my PS5 and for budget gamers the One S that supports up to 120 fps although it isn't 4k should be perfect and for $300 brand new? That's a steal and a very inexpensive upgrade bro and not all PCs are that expensive if you built it yourself and know people for parts.. $3000 is overkill and I wouldn't even recommend buying a PC currently.

    Artic MX-6 is what im using and its none conducive and it won't eat away at the chip or heatsink over time plus you didn't re do the thermal puddy on the memory you have to roll each one into a little ball and have them repressed onto the chip when you put the heatsink back on to create a sealed contact.

    How's the fan noise now with the liquid metal? I replaced mine with trusty old AS5 about 7 months ago and I think I've only EVER heard the fan on it once since doing so, and that was inside arktos labs in fallout 76 which just so happens to push one x consoles to either scream like a jet engine at full rated power or just flat out overheat and crash...
    Yeah I dunno if it's just a poorly coded part of the game or something, but it puts the consoles through hell, and since the thermal compound has been changed, the fan does spin up, but it's not like it's obtrusively loud. It really is a testament to just how well the consoles cooling system works, and just how crap the stock compound is! Maybe, just maybe, for all the hard work they put into developing the cooling, they should've spent like 2 cents more per console and used a thermal paste that actually bloody works 🤣

    • @kingtech7146
      @kingtech7146  3 роки тому +3

      Yeah its amazing, the first week or so got me quite nervous since I was afraid I killed the fan (I didnt ever hear it). After some inspection the fan seems to work just fine. It is simply that the temperature sensor is in the CPU/GPU itself, and since that is able to transfer its heat to the cooler much better it wont get as hot anymore.
      Personally I think the noise reduction is worth at least as much as the speed gain. 10/10 would recommend.

      It looks more challenging then it really is. Just be careful with the flatcables, and if you decide to use a conductive thermal paste (like liquid metal), be careful to not put too much on it, or it might short some of the nearby components.

    Warranty Sticker? I'm glad like you said, it's out of warranty before tearing it apart. I must say though that the only reason any company offers a "warranty" is because they don't guarantee the product they sell. A Gaurantee would be much better, after all that would mean they stood behind their product. A warranty on the other hand the customer has to pay for, often times it's a limited warranty because the Quality is not there. Basically the customer is being screwed while the companies rake in huge profits off of products that are OVER PRICED, made for pennies on the dollar. Warranty's are a useless sales pitch to customers, making them feel as though they're actually paying for something they actually need but don't. I had a lengthy argument with Microsoft about this very issue, you know the deal though, it's a billion dollar company so why should they listen to one of their customers. Like the video by the way.

      Temperature difference has much more to do with refreshing old, dried out thermal paste with new.
      Liquid metal is cooler than thermal paste but it only lasts for extremely brief periods of usage, that's why everyone recommends arctic mx-4 thermal paste on the cpu die.

      Not-to-mention the liquid metal will corode the copper housing of the heatsink.

    Yeah but still, many games won't receive a 60 fps update for the One X.
