An update to this...
EB Games did a direct swap with a refurbished one. Took longer than I would have liked but I can't believe the difference. If you're running RDR2 and you hear the fan at all, take it back while you can - the old one sounded like a jet engine, sometimes going for an hour, sometimes 5 minutes. Lurking on gamer forums, some people can hear the fan a bit, others a lot but none were going into thermal protection like mine.
The new one is dead silent playing any game, including RDR2 and remastered Skyrim. In full hibernation mode :angel:
I changed out my thermal paste on the weekend and it went from jet engine to just quiet fan with ramping up at times similar to when it was new. Pretty easy to do for those out of warranty (Except for the bleeding). I wanted to hold on to my scorpio edition. Stock thermal paste was just junk. RDR puts demands like no other game I have seen on One X though, other games it is just a quiet wind sound.
OK PC gamers, our turn is finally coming November 5th! Pretty damn late to the party.

Bumping.
Just got RDR2 for my XSX. Pretty sweet minus the controls. Wtf is with that?
I can flip the invert y-axis on or off to my preference in the settings menu but the x-axis for the camera is very strange. Pushing the right joystick to the left, orbits the camera to the right. Doesn't appear to be a way to change that. Seems weird to me.
Just built a disgusting gaming PC, might be time to get back to the wild west! Anyone playing online?
