G-STORY Cooling Fan for Xbox Series X with Automatic Fan Speed Adjustable by Temperature, LED Display, High Performance Cooling, Low Noise, 3 Speed 1500/1750/2000RPM (140MM) with RGB LED

As other reviews stated, this thing has an auto mode that changes the speed and the color of the fan as the heat rises. The fan definitely cools the Series X within a min or two as I tested by plugin it in after playing Forza 5. The build quality matches its price point so we will see how long it lasts. Also the fan noise is noticeable but only when your not gaming as the sound of the TV covers it up. This is a great investment to help keep that X nice and cool.

This is the one. I’ve had many of these types of fans but this one so far has performed well above my expectations. I like that it gives you an accurate temperature read, I can confirm it is accurate as I tested with a thermometer. The fan is strong, and some level of noise does come with the territory but I’m not bothered by it.I have a very small room and my Xbox started overheating not long ago. I live in New England and would normally require heat in the winter but my Xbox was running so hot (Thank you Baldur’s Gate 3) that my entire bedroom was warm enough that I was actually opening the window at times.When the fan arrived I’d been gaming for 3-4 hours and was curious to see what the temperature was, as like I said my Xbox was essentially heating my entire room for me. The first temperature read was a whopping 112* F - I can’t believe I’ve been abusing my Xbox this way! I installed the fan right away and started a timer. Within 10 minutes the temperature dropped down to 86* and after 20 minutes we were down to a comfortable temperature down in the high 70’s. 30 degrees cooler in 20 minutes - Impressive isnt the word. I was outright giddy!I will also add, that I have a charging base already with a fan the cools from bottom up. That model cost me just over $60, however it clearly doesn’t work that well if my console is running 112* even while running it full speed. I was sure the cooling dock would be great since it screws into the wall giving the vents underneath the Xbox room to breathe but it really hasn’t done much. At double the price of this fan I have to say I wish I’d just purchased this one first!There is a huge difference between the two, I noticed right away that this fan was blowing my hair while the other one doesn’t do much at all. This one does make a bit more noise, but as someone who uses the Xbox virtually every single day for 8+ hours, I’d much rather opt for function over noise level.I was pleased that this fan came with dust covers, I have cats and it gets really dusty, I’m fairly neurotic about maintaining the Xbox so needless to say I’m constantly cleaning and dusting it. I don’t know that it works as well with the dust plate on top while running the Xbox, so I think I’ll just use it when the fan isn’t running. The other dust covers though, I installed right away.My one and probably only qualm with this cooling fan was the dust plug covers. They came molded on a single sheet of rubber so you have to cut them yourself. The process was torture for me, as nothing less than perfect was going to be acceptable for my Autistic mind. Nevertheless I did fairly well cutting them out, I just wish I hadn’t needed to do all that. I would’ve preferred they come as separate pieces. Small complaint though.I highly recommend this product. It does what it promises and at a very affordable price.

I got a series X (barely) used from a friend and was kinda shocked how warm my room got when playing. I had a cooling fan for my series S and wanted one for this. Read some reviews and websites and settled on this one.SO GLAD I DID. The temp reader is accurate and when I plugged it in after playing CFB25 for about an hour it was reading at 114°F! After 26 minutes the temp dropped all the way to 90°F where it stays when under load/gaming. That's incredible IMO and I'm very happy. I'm pairing this with another backplate cooling fan that shows up tomorrow so I can see if I can get the temps down closer to 80°F. If I can drop the temp 35°F for $50 I will say that it is money well spent without a doubt.Even just using this fan, I'm more than pleased and it is an absolute necessity. If you're thinking of getting a fan, get this one. You will not be disappointed.Afterthought: Tons of reviews on here say it's loud when on the fastest speed, but it's not. And if you have headphones on or even just a little volume on the TV or monitor while gaming, you will not hear it at all. I sit 3ft from it and cannot hear it at all while gaming. I'm a laptop gamer (due to work travel 3 weeks a month) and this is silent compared to laptop cooling. It's even quieter than my fan for my old series S and works 5 times better.My only "complaint" is that it stays running unless you unplug it entirely. Not that it's an issue, just annoying that it doesn't have a sleep or off setting. Not a huge enough issue that it deserves a star rating drop as the pros far outweigh the consIt has an auto function where it increases fan speed as temps rise or manual mode with three settings of slow, medium, fast. I keep it on fast at all times. I keep the RGB off entirely, never been a big bright light person.Photos are: 74°F while in menu, 90°F after 15 minutes playing PGA Tour 2K23 (it stays here no matter how long I play. Sometimes gets to 91° but will fluctuate between 90° & 91° every ten minutes or so).
