Xbox One runs quieter during gaming:
Gaming: Xbox One - 42dB, PS4 - 51dB

Xbox One's "case"/hottest spot temperature is only higher during gaming (PS4 vent peaks at 50°C)
Gaming: Xbox One - 49°C, PS4 - 44°C


If it is hotter but quieter, it just means they are running the fan at a lower RPM.  They can always boost the fan speed to drop the temperature if they think heat will be an issue (at the expense of making it louder).

Conversely, Sony obviously decided that 51 dB is quiet enough and gives them the cooling they need.  They could also drop down their fan RPM to make the unit quieter (and hotter).

I am happy that neither runs like my old AMD Athlon XP 1700+ :)

IMO both consoles are fine, it's just that OP picks out the bad things of the One and compares it to the "best" values of the PS4. Telling half-truths.


What did you expect. Every time you come into a negative XBox one Article it's by a sony fan. C'mon this the game played around here. They must not like the pS4 because they have constently posted in here.
