errrr...the power brick got fan inside? you sure? didnt saw any exhaust outlet on it

Actually there is 3 stripe which allows air in le.. Got line holes o..

oh my..need to check this out cause i put the power brick inside a box...afraid it will explode if gaming too long.

thanks ya!

Think not all la on xbox forum ppl say it has but I know for sure chicony power brick inside I don't c fan, maybe that's y mine is quiet? Modified a few but so far all chicony one there is only one 2 pin connector inside that's for the led lights.

yes. exactly. the big brick inside is a fan, and when use my hand near the hole i can feel air blowing out! so is it common to be so noisy? the brick is connected to my xbox one, if i change the brick i need to find one that can actually connect to xbox?

the brick should be whisper quiet, the buzzing noise should be from transformer.

however, even though if it comes from the powerbrick, the nouse could be from it's coil or transister, it's annoying but since you cannot just simply claim even from US it as it's still functioning... well I guess you need to bear with it~~~~~

what is the brick? what is the transformer?
i only have one big black brick connecting to my xbox from the power outlet.

So u got a uk set then.

Confirm fan hiding under a plastic duct. Just finished another voltage mod though I'll have a look.

who hav both console? which do u prefer to play.. i already hav ps4, but now think to change to xbox.. just to feel the diffrence if any? i am a dad with 2 children.. so mybe xbox with kinect will serve them the best when they grown up..

there is a party game name just dance...its quite nice if play by whole family. quite fun too...

I owned both, well i have both in my shop lol but i play the xbox more.... just dance has ps4 version as well, i just like the controller better.

Atm really not a whole lot of games but i am more interested in garden warfare and titanfall in the comin month.

But i heard ps4 camera is not that good in tracking the body movement. could you confirmed this?

I think its the game..... my 4 yrs old son only move hand in just dance also can get good and perfect.....

The only reason why I bought Xbox is because I too heard ps4 camera is very poor in capturing movement! I never regretted buying xbox cos the fun and laugh I had when playing zomba fitness with wife and 5 year old daughter and 2 year old son is priceless! U will laugh till u drop and seriously worth every penny spend! The only complaint I have so far is the stupid brick is so noisy at times, but now I am getting used to it.

Also anyone face this issue? Is there another brick that does the same function but less noise? I see someone reply that my set is uk set? How do u know that? Maybe later I have time I post my xbox photo

Also who want to swap my battlefield 4? I feel a bit dizzy after playing

Ok here is my brick that I talked about. So what is the transformer I read everybody is talking about?
Can someone explain to me? Is mine a us or uk set? What difference are there? Thanks for the help! I just wish I can buy a less noise brick


Attached thumbnail(s)

most of us here bought US set, which is 110v so we need a step down/up transformer to change the power voltage to 220v-240v, certain transformer had buzzing sound probably its the build quality ?

our power adapter looks like what you show on the above picture, just that we have an extra transformer

so you are saying the transformer has buzzing sound. so do my adapter! and is really noisy, more like a juice blending machine when operating!

btw are u sure without the transformer is a uk unit? cos the salesman told me is a US unit

US unit definitely need the transformer or you'll risk your power brick blown, or in worse case, Xbox itself is blown.

Confirm UK unless the salesman mod the US version adapter like what kevink82 did.. haha..
