Yeah, I really wish people would stop suggesting to clean out consoles as some sort of broad advice. The majority of people DO NOT have to clean their consoles out for most of their life.

If you need to clean your console out, you need to take a step back and seriously consider the hygiene of your room and how well ventilated it is because, if it's kept clean and/or well ventilated then this shit won't happen.

Yeah the xbox one x just needs re-pasting. Which is a pain. Never done it before. But have take it apart to clean and change the SSD. 

But the cleaning/re-pasting, not so sure about.

One x is very easy to take apart. I have more trouble putting the dang case top back on than anything else lol

Yeah had to find a separate video for that bit. 

My issue is re-pasting, never done it before. Plus need to clean and then re-paste. And it's a lot of smaller bits too rather then one big CPU like a desktop build would be. 

Need some time and stuff and I should do it. Gets much louder then it should, and be back to a clean, quiet console.

And then await the series x pro or 2TB version...

It doesn't have a lot small parts like you think. its all modular. You just gotta take out a lot of screws holding the inner case to the bottom of the black outer case. The fat xbox one has the old way of being put together which is more complicated than any one s or one x console is.
