I recently got the Xbox 1 X and was rather surprised by how heavy the thing is (as in super-dense). I haven't noticed much noise but I have to imagine it's quite a challenge to dissipate the heat from this thing given how tightly packed it is and that it must be really pushing the graphics card to its limit in some of these games.

I'm not sure something like this could be made without noise... perhaps water cooled, but I don't see that happening for consoles anytime soon lol

Coil whine doesn't have anything to do with cooling though. It's more about power and electricity running through the coil at high workloads.

Here's some explanation by Linus

Sorry, I was assuming it was some sort of heat sink.
