Fantastic teardown. I want one. For some reason, it's appealing even though it's not the most powerful.
@TweakTips3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Jesso - For the price, it is a GREAT console and while less powerful than the Series X, it still packs a massive punch and it a strong upgrade from an Xbox One S and even One X

Wonder if you could do a custom fan install or if it has to have the custom curve plastic molding to fit in the casing. Would love to put a Corsair 120mm fan in my Series S. Salute...

Do you think that may be possible to add a disc drive in some way?
@TweakTips3 жыл бұрын
I personally do not think so - certainly not by "just plugging it in" as there are no headers for the drive, so it would take a whole lot of re-wiring to get a drive installed

Nice. Think this would be an upgrade to a one x? Also curious to know if a consumer grade ssd would work, awesome teardown 👍
@TweakTips3 жыл бұрын
Thanks John - Personally, having used it for a few days now, I would say yes as performance wise it is a lot quicker than the Xbox One X (not as fast as the Series X though obviously). Interestingly the Series S and X have the same processor, but on the Series S it is just clocked down. Also it has less RAM and half the size (512GB) on the local storage. I would say, the biggest down side to the Series S would be the smaller internal storage and lack of optical drive but you can always use an external USB drive and just download your games.

Do you think that vertical position is optimal for airflow ? I think it blocks the low intake...and the superior intake seems blocked by the wifi card
@TweakTips3 жыл бұрын
I think you are correct.. Although I am sure it is tested in both positions, I would opt for normal position

What does the Southbridge chip do? A lot of people on Twitter are kicking up a fuss because it’s labelled “Xbox One”.
@TweakTips3 жыл бұрын
Hello - the Southbridge is the chip that controls internal components such as USB, the BIOS, storage devices and the bus - basically it makes sure all the internals are talking to each other nicely
@SEGAGuys3 жыл бұрын
@@TweakTips Ah! Thank you for the speedy reply. So the fact it’s an “Xbox One” chip has no bearing on the performance of the console as that’s down to the SOC.
@TweakTips3 жыл бұрын
@@SEGAGuys Correct, and although it has the "Xbox One" branding, the southbridge on the Series X and S is not the same as on the Xbox One X and S consoles - as it is a custom chip Microsoft have asked the manufacture of the chip to only put their Microsoft branding on it - it probably is just a Texas instruments (or similar manufacture) inside!

Just wondering if you found the built in gps tracker? Was hoping the battery or psu could be upgraded as my son had his stolen and Microsoft have a find my device feature but unfortunately he never registered the device but it could be tracked by Microsoft if we had kept the serial number, I have bought him a new one but want to take precautions before I give it to him
@TweakTips3 жыл бұрын
Hi Nicola - not sure I have heard of a GPS tracker in the console. Each console will have a unique serial number and MAC address for the onboard LAN and Wireless which I am sure Microsoft can track (or at least ban from connecting to live services) stolen devices.

You can't actually replace the Internal drives because they don't let you download system software from anywhere, you could never even on Xbox one or 360, you can only remove them for repair, but not replace Sony has always let you re download system software from their website and replace internal drives, but NOT xbox You HAVE to buy Microsofts proprietary £250 external drives from them or segate

My own personal Series S gets VERY hot around the black vent on the top of the unit. Is this normal or is it something that I should get checked out?

I'd say it's normal.. the black vent exhausts all the hot air out the case. if your games run smoothly and there's no thermal throttling (no crazy dip in fps) i wouldn't worry too much.
