Stuff like this cool.

 

[Izuna]

YASH!

I love this sort of content.

Can't swap the hard drive right?
External only?

 

[hanspampel]

correct.
closed caged for the HDD

 

[Izuna]

Not easily, at least.

 

[LastOne2100]

Gorgeous build. Microsoft has really been nailing it with the internal hardware design lately.

Shame about the internal drive, but that's been the case for Microsoft consoles forever.

 

[Majine]

They still call it Scorpio in the video.

I wonder how late the name was.

 

[MrBenchmark]

loved watching this the internal i believe is 7200RPM too. I'll still use my external raid 0 and my ssd that i use now, I only install apps on the internal.

 

[Dynomutt]

Looks familiar... Just playing. Impressive tech!

 

[Rushersauce]

Isn't a "reverse teardown" just an assembly? LOL

 

[TakeItSlowDude]

They did not show the reverse side of the motherboard, so far the only shot I have seen is this one.

I want to see what flash module they are using with Xbox One X.

 

[LostDonkey]

I can't believe how small they got it, it's like a MS steam box only it's windows/Xbox store.

 

[neptunes]

Sorry but does it have an internal or external power supply?

EDIT: Saw the pic

 

[gamz]

Internal

So tiny.

 

[Kaako]

Fan of HW teardown videos. Thanks for posting.

 

[Izuna]

His vapour chamber explanation was a little too ELI5 imo. Linus did a decent one back in 2014: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4POFT3Ctek

edit: nvm, they called it scorpio at the end...

 

[Broank]

Interesting the APU is actually smaller than the original xbox one. Dat eSRAM.

 

[rokkerkory]

That was awesome, thanks

 

[Shin]

Microsoft has come a long way with designing consoles, they did a great job with Scorpio.
No space wasted, I can't wait to see the heat levels and/or screenshots with temp measurements.

 

[Blastoise]

No liquid cooling?

 

[Jaguar Victory]

Isn't a "reverse teardown" just an assembly? LOL

Yeah, LOL

 

[Adam_802]

Its good to see MS so proud of it's console design. Its a real marvel of electrical engineering. 1st MS console since 360 designed with gamers in mind from the ground up.

 

[Majine]

No, the SOC is called Scorpio Engine

Yes, but they called the whole thing Scorpio too.

 

[hanspampel]

Interesting the APU is actually smaller than the original xbox one. Dat eSRAM.

3mm² it's basically the same

No liquid cooling?

the liquid in the vapor chamber is their "liquid cooling"

Isn't a "reverse teardown" just an assembly? LOL

i used teardown, because that is a well know term for this kind of videos
and i didn't come up with the right word immediately
yeah it's an assembly video

could also call it revers disassembly video, lol

Yes, but they called the whole thing Scorpio too.

this video was shot before the E3 conference

 

[Izuna]

No liquid cooling?

Not liquid cooling like the average high-end pc, but vapour chambers.

Yes, but they called the whole thing Scorpio too.

edited too late, it was at the very end

 

[hwalker84]

At what time does this start in this 3 hour video?

Nevermind working for me now.

 

[Art Vandilay]

Someone should edit it; cut it down, cut out Major and insert some How It's Made music.

 

[Clancy]

Neat how they added the little Chrome logo.

 

[Black_Stride]

hahaha dunno why this made me chuckle so.

 

[thiscoldblack]

Reverse uninstallation.

 

[Iced Arcade]

Neat how they added the little Chrome logo.

Haha thought the same thing.

 

[Ghazi]

I'm still super impressed by how small it is.

 

[gamz]

Its good to see MS so proud of it's console design. Its a real marvel of electrical engineering. 1st MS console since 360 designed with gamers in mind from the ground up.

Xbox One S too.

 

[GameAddict411]

MS has definitely stepped up their game when it comes to designing hardware. I guess the surface devices had a hand? I remember the original XO being really ugly, large, and unsophisticated. Impressive stuff.

 

[spiderman123]

And still so goddamn small. Thats impressive.

 

[gamz]

MS has definitely stepped up their game when it comes to designing hardware. I guess the surface devices had a hand? I remember the original XO being really ugly, large, and unsophisticated. Impressive stuff.

And it took awhile. The first couple of Surfaces weren't even that great. They have refined their game in a short amount of time.

 

[Zombie James]

Am I the only one that thinks that looks like a tiny fan for the amount of heat the system needs to dissipate? Wonder what the noise levels will be like.

 

[Tripolygon]

I see they've learnt a thing or 2 from PS4 design. Pretty nice overall motherboard layout and design.

 

[Izuna]

The fan itself isn't doing most of the work.

 

[Bustanen]

Yes looks like a 80mm fan maybe? Might be louder than the S.

 

[hanspampel]

Yes looks like a 80mm fan maybe? Might be louder than the S.

80mm radial is kinda big
They're normally smaller than axial fans

 

[LQX]

I have to say I did not think much of it at first but seeing how simply designed it is, is very impressive. Almost no space is wasted and I cant see it getting smaller unless they get rid of the blu-ray drive. They must save a ton on manufacturing it.

 

[Space_nut]

Very cool video.

remember the old days... Man Microsoft has come a long way.

 

[Captain Zyrain]

They still call it Scorpio in the video.

I wonder how late the name was.

At fanfest they were saying the higher ups only knew the name a couple weeks ago. Less time for the majority of people I bet.

Lots of them still slipping and calling it Scorpio (me too).

 

[ghibli99]

Videos like this make my brain happy... and yet I still chuckled when he said, "This is the largest package we've ever used."

There's gotta be balance in the universe to maintain order.

 

[SwiftDeath]

That's a pretty fantastic segment.

 

[Kaydan]

Loved this. Thanks for sharing OP.

Can I get confirmation that the HDD is in fact 7200rpm? It looks like a 5400rpm drive from the form factor.
