Don't worry, your Xbox One won't get RRoD.  It'll just auto power off every 30 minutes so it doesn't overheat.

If the console was built properly there wouldn't need to be a safeguard function like this in the first place. 

Since PCs have this feature.......and PS fans LOVE to use the PC in console debates, I don't get where you are coming from.

The X1 has a giant fan and has a safeguard just in case. This means no RROD scandals. And here you go fishing to make it negative. lol is all.

the RRoD wasn't caused by overheating, it was caused by the a bad lead based solder being used which became brittle when cooling from normal operating temps inside the 360, so this is an obvious measure to have but at the same time it doesn't rule out poor choice of materials.
