Did you exchange your machine again Arcane?

I haven't heard about a new version......

As long as it has a nice quiet fan and doesn't start sounding like a hoover under load and everything else seems good I'd live with it, you may end up with something worse mate.

Not sure what the failure rate is on these but I guess it's the penalty for being an early adopter. There are plenty of forums where people are still on their first machine and not all of these are created equal depending on the chip yield whether you get a quiet one or not. Just need some more...

I was wondering the same thing Arcane, have you persevered with it or has it gone back?

Two out of the four I've had were like that and the fan was revving up and down constantly, it was driving me mad also they got damn hot on the right hand side near the power supply more so than the two that were near silent. I'd be getting on to Microsoft yet again I'm afraid Arcane and I hope...

Hopefully you finally have a keeper! Maybe now you can play Fallout 4 with no worries.

Only if you don't return the old one but your available balance should take into account the hold charge.

I'm in agreement, you shouldn't have to put up with £450 quids worth of console that doesn't work properly.

Any news on yours Arcane?

That's good news, you have a quiet one. Just running the insect's demo should normally tell you as I found out.

It depends on the individual X as out of the four I have had two were silent and on the other two the fan ramped up frequently, I think it depends on the chip CPU/GPU quality. If yours is buzzing though it might have a fan bearing issue.

Sounds like your problem with the E105 error a real bummer!

They should be giving a live code free for a year for all the bloody hassle and why did they use Seagates? The one big fail on the X is not being able to easily swap out the hard drive, don't get me wrong it's not ideal but if you get this E105 error which seems fairly common at least with the...

And how did yours die, did it give any warning at all?

I dealt straight with Argos who were fine about exchanging tbh. I haven't used this one much yet... Too damn scared incase it dies lol!

I remember when my third died I did give it a damn good slap on the top of the case... It did make me feel better!

Shoddy quality control, they obviously are not tested very thoroughly.

Does it rev up and down or has it got bearing noise?

Good luck with the new one, I'm on my forth!
