Ben Heck's Xbox Slim Teardown
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2016
- There are few things that Ben Heck loves more than to teardown the newest gaming console release, watch how he unboxes the XBox One S and takes apart each component as he goes, including the controller. We learn how cost savings have been made with design alterations to the chassis and the printed circuit boards. Ben also compares the XBox One S side by side with the original XBox One and discovers that a connector is missing, which one could it be? The power supply is one major change with the new XBox console, compared to the early days where it was practically a huge brick! Ben also highlights the changes in the CPU/GPU heatsink and the limitations of hacking the HDMI ports on the board while considering if it can be turned into a laptop. Do you think there's something else we can do with it? Let us know on the element14 Community, where you can learn about upcoming episodes and join The Ben Heck Show team.

Instead of making an Xbox One laptop, how about trying to fit one into a 4K TV, so it's an all-in-one device like an iMac? TVs are pretty thin these days so I think it would be quite a challenge to include a full games console!
holy shit :)
That would be an awesome idea, bet the switching from TV to xbox may be an issue doing it via software rather than needing some kind of switch.
That is a great idea, I would also really like to see this, please work your magic Ben!
that's what I Hope he does
That's a really awesome idea!
easily my new favourite youtube show 😊 thank you and keep up the amazing work guys, thank you.
Love the use of 90's Alternative music for an expressive response! Good stuff right there :)
Ben Heck i love your UA-cam videos and your channel.. keep up the great work.. look forward to seeing more
Really enjoy tear-down vids, there's just something satisfying about them.
Hey man i know you must get this all the time but your videos are truly inspirational, i prefer watching these than tv anyday! they are interesting, informative
and entertaining! thanks
when I was a kid I used to take apart my electronics and put them back together wondering how things work, your show really brings back good memories
Very Detailed! Great Video!
Ohhh did not know this channel existed... right up my alley subbed
have fun with the backlog!
Ooh... That is one sexy teardown. I seriously love it when companies take into consideration how they assemble their stuff. Makes it look so clean and easy.
Also, I know this isn't the Element14 board, and it's an absolutely asinine idea, but I recently was checking out people building PCs in old NES cases. I think a FauxBox One may be pretty cool. Repurpose the case to mount something completely different in it after you do the inevitable laptop mod. Leave nothing to waste. :P
Very cool to watch, thanks!
fantastic video . thank you so much man. Subbed!
Make a Xbox One S portable with built in rechargeable battery.
+Kyle Hurd They're not going to market and sell it lol.
His suggestion wouldn't cost anything at all. AMD brought their 'APU's out in 2013.
JJ, I knew what both of you meant, just ripping on the Spoder a little.
That already exists. It's called a Windows 10 laptop PC. ;)
xxpyroxx75 dude most laptops have interrogated gpus like in the motherboard. Usually high end workstation laptops have dedicated gpus and gaming laptops have dedicated gpus
Ryan Curnow they must have a insane CPU to run games on ultra
Hi Ben just discovered your channel, I have also subscribed and I will share it around; your level headed tear downs give a clear advantage to he XBOX 1 S, better controller, newer components and quality built. I will continue to support your channel as what you are doing for less able Gamers is important work, as Games can help reduce feelings of isolation and bring people together regardless of ability. Happy New Year 2017 I look forwards to more of your great content Respect+Peace ::D
Amazing work, cool stuff!
Ben Heck...I love you...Thank you for your red hair and smart brain....
You're welcome. I have always said that the two most important things in life are the color of your hair and the smartness of your brain.
I disagree. I think the most important thing in life is chicken nuggets
Very much true.
Chicken nuggets and hot pockets
BAHADUR KHATRI DAL no thanks. xbox live sucks.
I love your videos! I wish I would have subcribed a long time ago :) at least I have a lot of videos to watch :)
Awesome video!
omg the difference in interior design between xbox slim and ps4 slim is amazing! xbox is so oldschool
New sub! Loved the video! :)
I rekon try and make it not only a gaming laptop, but a ultra slim gaming laptop, remove the blueray and add a simple pipeline system for cooling, im sure a slim laptop can be built from it all.
omg hi emudshit love your stuff dude
+dan k thanks man :)
+LInusSexTips haha laptops are for peasants" = another way of saying your a broke kid ay.
***** you're, dual 1080s ay ill cry that i dont have those in my new house while watching the football on my new 70inch sony tv, ohwell
***** lol I can tell you're young kid, I work 50+ hours a week I could easily afford a 1080, but why would I? its extremely overpriced, maybe in another 6 months, just because someone earns some money doesn't mean they have to waste it stupidly.
Brick city?
You're so cool.
You can say anything you like.
Good informative vid!
I would like to see thinnest possible battery power laptop with out the bluray drive, if it requires the drive to boot, maybe you can take the bluray apart and only use the PCB.
There was an actual ad inside the video, I feel like it's 90s again! :D
Thank you for the video. Thumbs up
The conversations you have on this video are wierd as fuc but love it
Don't be afraid to ask for likes guys. Great work. Helps me with my understanding of the unit.
the only thing i was waiting for was. to see the video on the build you you just mentioned here. xbox into a laptop.
Love your work Ben, how about a video of you converting a Nintendo 64 controller into a wireless one
Thanks!
Awesome breakdown, the Xbox One S is steller!
I like the sound of silence reference
18:25 TMDS (HDMI) actually uses three differential pairs on three "channels". The other pair is PLL/clock. As for those TDMS traces, only one runs to the chipset as it's HDMI input or capture. The other HDMI ports runs to a TMDS controller and from there directly to the APU.
Hey Ben, decent teardown yet again.
One key thing you left out. The Xbox one S APU has supposedly been upgraded to 14nm FinFet drastically reducing power requirements and heat output which is one of the biggest reasons this console exists, the new proccess let MS make a much cheaper system.
Me encantan tus programas, sigue asi, saludos.
Hi ben, i cant understand half of what you are saying but its still great to see you tear into these.
Anyway you could do a psvita\ psvita slim\psp tear down?? Maybe also show what makes them differ??
That would be awesome.
Thank you.
Seeing how compact it looks, I'd sugest trying to do your best at making it the thinest laptop mod you've ever done as a challenge.
I LOVE DISASASSEMBLY VIDEOS
POST MORE PLEASE!
THX
Integrate the system into a 4k LCD TV, use perhaps a slim bluray player if possible, kind of like those tvs with integrated dvd players
Well dang! Didn't see he made the original Xbox One into a tablet. I need to watch more, lol!
The extra chip in the controller is a bluetooth radio, the old one didn't have that. You can use it via Bluetooth on other devices now.
great job sir.🖒
This would make a great laptop. Go for it.
Anybody looking at this video in the present, the Xbox one S does do 4k upscaling in games now, not just for 4k video streaming. When this video came out the feature was not implemented. The Xbox one S also does native 1440p gaming at 60 frames per second.
Great video, loved the diaper comment. Laptop mod would be my choice with batteries.
Thanks for the great video.. again !!!
1. BluRay drive, could you make it USB? then you only need to plug it in when needed when on the go?
2. Laptop version... of course :-D
3. Nice custom wood case??? mmm...
4. Maybe try to make it REALLY slim... The heat sink looks about as slim as you could get it but...
Thanks again.
"And a Car" - Thats the god damn 2017 Ford GT EcoBoost
Whoever put that master chief engraving inside there must have known people were going to go snooping around inside it. They might as well put a sticker inside saying "If you are reading this, you voided your warranty. Shame on you, but also have fun exploring. :)".
Make some kind of portable with a battery pack like was mentioned, and maybe find a way to add one of those pocket sized projectors into the unit.
There are laptops now with 4k screens, so I am sure you could source one for a Laptop One S Project. IF you decide to go with making a laptop, I was thinking that this time you could incorporate a keyboard. I use a keyboard with my Xbox one all the time, especially when setting up accounts on a game, or searching for movies (Which would look great with the 4k display you source!)
**Side note, you were talking about the one power switch board that had circuitry but no chips. It could be like that because the One S controller now uses Bluetooth instead of Wifi connections. Just a thought!
you can still use the Kinect on the Xbox one s but you have to buy a converter to hook it up
I would love to see some kind of portable arcade machine, in the sense that the controls are built into the device where a keyboard would go on a laptop. Not sure if that would work or not, but if it would it would be cool.
If possible make some sought of portable VR device.If not possible, it would still be cool to see Ben do something with VR in the future.
A All in One would be cool for this build. Maybe into the back of a cheap BenQ 4K panel.
Can always use a laptop screen, allows you to run it off the 12volt supply of PSU assuming there's enough overhead, they're thin and light, the only downside is you need to locate the driver board.
lol toad the wet sprocket. I guess you won't take these things for granted anymore
I'd love to see you guys reforge it into a portable Xbox one s, I would totally love to have something like that
Just spewing out nerd-technological lingo I've grown up being fluent in, but much much more thorough. Thanks Mr. Heck!
Very entertaining - highly amused by the passive-aggressive sarcasm
I am curious if you can add your own efficient headset, Low Profile ultra thin heatsink, Found some online, and add the ssd, Apply artic silver on that cpu and just have a nice cool, fast xbox one s i think it would be pretty cool to see, And maybe customize it with a clear case topping, or modify it. :)
I like your teardowns because you talk about it as you're tearing it down. I see videos on here that are so boring because it's just a video with some music
Mod a laptop screen to work for the Laptop One, that would be cool to learn how to do. But either way, make sure it's 1080p and IPS. Also battery powered would be cool. And keep an HDMI out too.
Perhaps turn it into a stand-up arcade machine, cabinet and all? Or a mini-cabinet, in the style of some of the "tabletop" form factor machines that you sometimes see in bars, with a lazy susan swivel mount underneath.
Don't know if anyone has said this, but what about a Xbox One S Tablet! Lol! I know it probably isn't possible without you rebuilding the pieces, but with the talk of using a battery it seems like something that would be even more awesome!
you should turn that thing into a "control surface" for audio and video editing softwares ;)
Ben, Microsoft stated that the games don't run natively in 4k but the XBOX One S does come with a 4k upscaler to where it can upscale games to a NEAR 4k look.
great teardown lol
Ben it think the APU in the Xbox has the north bridge integrated in to it and what you are pointing to is the south bridge.
"i dont know what warranty is, i dont even care" made me lol
WAHOO, right when the Xbox One came out I wanted Ben to review it YEAH
Xbox One S
We already had planned on it
+SwollenRhino ?
An Xbox One Slim tablet would be pretty cool, especially if you could make it battery powered, and maybe hang on the wall. BUT I personally think an Xbox Slim integrated into a big screen TV would be cooler and more interesting to see being done since I haven't seen anything like it yet. Ive wall mounted all my TV's in my house but they all still have consoles, blu-ray players or computers still tethered to them. So yes, it's wall mounted but I still have plenty of cables running to devices that STILL require a shelf or table for them to sit on. My eventual goal is to eliminate all cables tying me down from an all wall mounted setup that would seem to "float" off the wall. So a big screen Xbox/TV combo being made would be pretty cool to see.
I wonder if Ben has some thoughts about hacking the system and somehow making it even smaller. The individual internal parts look like they're covered in more plastic. Maybe liquidcool the system instead of using a heat sink and a large fan.
Either way I cant wait to see what Ben does with it!
Hey Ben, there is one thing you got wrong: The Xbox One S does an upscale of game graphics. So you can actually play games in 4k, but it's of course only upscaled 4k. Looks better than normal 1080p , though.
would love to see a SSD in a console hopefully Scorpio will have one, it would likely speed up gaming load time also system startup time.
I find teardowns oddly therapeutic
I love this guy
me too
i'm waiting for a scorpio or because of finances may just get along for as long as possible with my original beast haha great video thanks
I'd like to see you build this into a wearable unit. You would build the xbox one and batteries into a backpack-type contraption that would actually go on the front. (So you could sit down and play it.)
You would make a helmet and build the screen/s and audio into it. (As well as refreshment accommodations and possibly waste management.)
The emphasis would be on EXTREME gamers looking for all advantages mods can give them without actually cheating, as well as the extreme laziness that comes with being a gamer. Not having to get up for anything at all.
The waste management is really a goof, and wouldn't be necessary for portability... but would certainly be something different that would make it a poopular build.
Ben didn't mention the biggest changes, which are that the APU is manufactured using 16nm FinFET now and thats how it produces less heat. In addition. the GPU half of it is clocked higher now, boosting performance in some titles.
dude you should intergrate one into the back of a car seat it would be so cool
Apart from the gaming laptop comment this was a good video haha.
It should be made in seperated part that clicks in place. So take what you need for this and that weekend.
By North Bridge I assume you mean South Bridge as the NB is built into the APU
Make it even smaller! Ditch the blu-Ray drive. If you do turn it into a laptop can you make it have a curved display?
Hi guys great tear down, is it possible to mod a controller to work on both xbox and playstation systems. Handy for the player with both systems that hates the feel when swapping from one to the other. Many thanks.
You should make a fully 3d printed xbox laptop
I miss pinball episodes, and the rivalry between Ben and Jerri... *sniff*
To replace the drive: Clone using DOS and xBox hdd cloning software (Cannot remember the name) but the xBox will only accept certain model HDD/SDD drives as a system (Non-external) drives.
did you know that the controller also now has Bluetooth connection to synchronize with your Windows 10 PC without the need for a proprietary dongle.?
Social Gamer what if Nothing is on the screen and it is blue .
Ben, i've got an idea for a project for the Xbox One S, a portable system with a screen (big shock, i know!) but one with a built in projector as well. A screen for playing on your own, say on a trip or holiday, but the projector for big screen gaming and movies and stuff.
too costly
You can get projectors for $ 50 now. I know they're not the greatest but would do for a project.
So will you also be doing a teardown of the PS4 slim?
Can you build a Vewlix Arcade cabinet with Hyperspin? That would be awesome! :]
I would like to see a game sphere, a game cube in the shape of a sphere with some extras.
It's SPHERICAL!
Thaw me out when the Okama Game Sphere get's released!
I just want to see him do anything at all with a gamecube :)
The Okama Game Sphere
+jorenmartijn A portable Gamecube would probably be doable
So, title should be "Ben Heck's Xbox One Slim Teardown"?
Also, I have that Doctor Who shirt!
Hallo from Germany
Coole Funny Guy✌😘 this Master Brain .
Your Videos are amazing✌
Battery powered X1 Laptop? Yes please!
Or I was thinking maybe a back mounted battery powered X1 that connected to a controller that had been split in half with a screen embedded in between. Not very practical but would be pretty cool to see imo.
5:52, yeah it just sounds like a jet engine when you game for longer than 5 minutes. My Xbox One rarely has to spin the fan up that much. In fact I have only heard my Xbox One fan spin up twice since I have had it (and both times it only spun up for about a minute), and I was a day one purchaser of both systems. Hopefully since the Xbox One S' APU went through a die shrink, it wont be like the PS4 is in terms of how much sound it puts off.
I think you should make a Hand held xbox one. Like you did with the Dreamcast! XBOP
Funny that you mention Ben Affleck. Because he was doing the exact same thing as you in the movie Paycheck.
What I like about the Xbox One S is they made the fan lighter unlike the 360 and the One
