Point was that the temps varied from 35 to 49 which is hot in comparison.
Your point is not that 49 is high but the difference between 35 and 49?
I'm not suggesting a given temp, any temp I could give would be mostly arbitrary.
The whole points you are trying to make because of no custom fan and now the temperature seems arbitrary.
But say you ramped the fan even lower and reached 60. How would you assess how good the cooling solution is then?
"good"? Sufficient if the chip is designed to operate at that temperature and that was approved in a DUT and if the cooling solution is still silent.
The point was the difference in temp is of no use to the user and the thermal cycling not a particularly good thing.
Users don't care for the temperature in the system, yes. They care for a system being silent, though. And the Xbox One seems to be a silent system, no matter how hot it gets (which it also doesn't).
They can aim for a stable temp, reduce noise or reduce formfactor while still keeping below 49C under load because 49C isn't exactly a low temp to aim for especially given the XB1s TDP.
I don't know but I don't think there are many computers out there that have a stable temperature, besides Raspberry Pi and other special cases. My laptop happily jumps between 45 and 70, for example. This is just usual behavior.
Can the cooling solution be better? Of course. But this can be said with every piece of hardware out there.
It was an assessment of the cooling solution not saying that 49C is too hot to operate or anything.
It is a sufficient cooling solution. In terms of noise, in terms of temperature and in terms of user perception.
No that is normal the Xbox One S is louder. What elite xbox one, was there an elite?[/QUOTE]
