Very interesting mechanism that the Xbox One has in store for us! It looks like the RROD has very low chances or even none at all to happen on the Xbox One. Because of how the Xbox One is designed, it adjusts its own power usage when it is getting too hot. For those who have experienced the RROD, you may or may not know that it happens because of overheating. I've never experienced it before, but I'm happy that this feature is in the Xbox One.

"The way we designed the box, we don't actually intend it to ever have to go to maximum speed under normal environmental conditions. But there is overhead. So we'll allow the fan to go all the way up to its maximum speed and if that solves the condition without the user having to do anything."

The fan at high speed sure will be noisy! But screw the noise, I'd rather have a noisy console than a dead console anyway! Still, I hope there's no OTHER issues with the hardware.
 
Well, the current Xbox is pretty loud comparatively. I hope the RROD solution is better than just removing the red LED like they did with the elite 360.

I'm glad they are address the main reason they had a crazy-high death rate though. I lost two Xboxs that way.
 
The console is huge, half of it is a hole for it to breath, and they still manage to crank the fan up to the max when things get hot.
But what if the fan fails, does the whole system collapse as soon as i try a game?
 
They did say that the Xbox One is designed to be turned on for 10 years without ever switching off. It's a very bold statement, but if they can really deliver on this then we will perhaps witness one of the biggest technological marvels of our century. No RROD is definitely a great prospect, but at the moment it's just a promise, I want to see if they can actually deliver, I certainly hope that they can.
 
This does make sense, because a lot of the RRoD things that happened did have to do with over heating and sauntering points. Essentially the newer designs on the 360 had already fixed this issue, so its not too big to hope that they've learned enough to not produce a console that's going to basically melt itself. That's like rocking your own face off with your guitar, just shouldn't be done.
 
his is definitely a great thing, as at first I was confused as to why Microsoft decided to make the Xbox One so large. Then, after hearing their reasoning behind it and how it pertains to the system's heat system I no longer mind the size of the Xbox One. Hopefully this turns out to be true though, as you can never be too sure with newly released technology.

I believe they said it is whisper quiet but yeah if those fans are cheap and spin up forget it. Hopefully they have used high quality fans this time around. I honestly do not expect other issues with hardware this time around. You can see they spent a ton of time and money engineering this thing not to overheat which was really the issue. My Slim 360's still get really hot.
 
I can't see Microsoft even installing red lights into the system. I feel no worries.
 
I think we all knew MSFT was not going to let this happen again, since it cost them over a billion to correct it with the 360. But also me personally I know to keep my consoles air flow pretty good. Not ont he carpet and etc...
 
I have experienced the RROD twice in my past ten years with xbox, so this will be one less thing to worry about. I will say throughout the whole experienced I have been treated very well and they always resolve my problems quickly and usually hook me up one way or another. I'll be a huge fan no matter what...they've earned my respect!
 
lol I think this is why it is so big, because of the fan. I always knew they were not going to mess up like last time with this RROD stuff. That cost them ALOT of money and they really wanted to set things straight
 
I read an article that described the testing environment for the Xbox One. As I recall, they said that they aimed for the Xbox One to achieve 10 years of continuous operation in conditions far worse than what would be typical of most users on the planet.
 
Yeah I read that to. Its truly a good thing they arent messing around this time. but of course you will have people who lay them n the carpet, and in tight spaces and will blame the maker when it over heats lol
 
That's good news. But to be honest this should not be a luxury but a thing that we should all expect regardless!

RROD was such a huge flaw in Xbox 360 and it was a shame Microsoft didn't address it sooner. Anyways it's good to see Microsoft is getting its stuff right this time. And hopefully their claims can stay true.
