the XB1 will not have any issues with heat and will never shut down unless you rap it in a towel or put it in a very small closed TV stand.... heck even the last one didn't over heat the component.... nothing in the core hardware ever failed due to heat.... the soldering work was shit and the component got displaced.... so unless they fuck the soldering again I have no worries that the XB will be quiet and run smooth 100% of the time under normal use (yeah if you are in the middle of the jungle on a really scoarching hot day with 95% humidity it might have issues, and even then I could take the bet because when you see under how much constrain they put the surface tablet in their lab, I'm sure they pushed the One far enough to handle that too)

humidity is something that effects our percieved heat because it stops us being able to perspire due to water in the air. No computer components should be affected by this unless they have skin which sweats. As for the first model of the X1 coming out of the box and running quiet all the time, doubtful, would need to make some amount of noise for the later remodel in a few years which will have quieter fans :D can't sell slim models of stuff if you design it perfect first time.

agreed for humidity but if it gets high enough you can have condensation issues which is not really good for your electronics.... but that goes for everything you would have in your household.... that's more what I meant with air humidity....

and it will be quieter than the first XB that's what I meant we should almost never see that huge fan go 100% rpm.... like it's said in the article if does you should check if there isn't something covering up the vent openings because it shouldn't be ramping up.... of course you will have noise.... you always do with fans.... but I think it should be one of the impressive point of the XB1 this time around.... we'll see...
