Multiple Reports Suggest Xbox Series X Runs Really Hot
PCMag is a VERY reputable web source of information and they posted the information too. Comparing a youtube channel to them is ridiculous.
While I do think they overheating is overblown, you gotta check legit sources.

"If you're considering hiding an
Xbox Series X console in a TV cabinet, think again, Microsoft's new console apparently runs so hot it doubles as a fireplace.
As
VGC reports, Microsoft has allowed some journalists to get hands-on time with the Xbox Series X console ahead of its launch in November. There's universal praise for just how quiet the console is, especially compared to the current gen consoles. However, what nobody was expecting is just how hot the Series X runs.
The Series X is significantly smaller than the
PlayStation 5, but Microsoft came up with a very neat design relying on a single 130mm fan pumping out hot air from the top of the console. It works well, and it needs to based on reports of the heat being produced. Jeux Video's Ken Bogard described in a (now inaccessible) video that,
"The Series X is hot, like really hot! It doesn’t make any noise, but damn it’s hot! The console is emitting heat like crazy. It’s almost like a fireplace shaft. You can heat up your flat with it."
Giant Bomb co-host Jeff Bakalar also commented on the heat during a The Giant Beastcast podcast, saying, "Here’s what’s crazy… this was just plugged in in standby mode behind me and you guys, the entire thing is a little toasty ... It seems like in the way like a lot of the other consoles were doing stuff while you were not using them, it seems like this thing might be doing something while you’re not using it, to the point where it needs to exhaust heat." He also commented that the expansion card was "hot to the touch."
Phil Spencer Says Microsoft Will Release More Xbox Consoles
Microsoft wouldn't launch a console that overheats itself,
but anyone who has one on pre-order or is considering a purchase should keep in mind the Series X is going to run hot and therefore will perform best when positioned in open air with plenty of ventilation."
The shyt blows out a lot of hot air. Okay. Funny and joke material, but that's it.
Honest question... are you mentally ill?
