Introduction
While the Heatsink and fan are two distinct parts, the process for replacing one or the other is exactly the same as they are attached to each other on the motherboard.
-
-
Begin by working at the case on the rear where the warranty sticker is located. Insert the plastic opening tool into the gap between the bottom of the case and the grated top side. Then find the clips in between that hold the case in place. Use the opening tool to pop the clips out. The best method is to pry the black case away from the bottom.

Use a T10 Torx screwdriver to remove the six green 50 mm long screws from the metal case labeled F1 through F6.
-
-
-
Gently separate the interior case from the white exterior case using the appropriate method.
-
Pry the white plastic sides outwards at the rear to separate from the plastic I/O shield
-
-
-
To replace the hard drive, flip over the console and remove the two 10 mm T-10 Torx screws, C3 and C5, from the backside of the Xbox One S.
-
-
-
Pull the disc drive slightly off the motherboard and disconnect the plastic connectors from the motherboard.
-
-
-
To replace the motherboard you must remove the three silver 10 mm T-10 Torx screws labelled "C1," "C2," and "C6."
-
Remove the four black 8 mm T-8 Torx screws lablelled "A1," "A2," "A3," and "A4."
-
-
-
Locate the rectangular silver clamp on the opposite corner of the power block.
-
Remove the black bracket near the fan.
-
-
-
Grab the clamp with the tweezers. Pull the clamp upward, away from the silver casing. Jiggle it back and forth like a tooth if necessary.
-
-
-
Remove the three black 8 mm T-9 Torx screws labeled "D1," "D2," and "D3" to remove the Mediatek board.
-
-
-
Now that the clamp is removed, gently lift the motherboard from its edges out from the metal casing. The motherboard should come out with ease.
-
-
-
Flip the motherboard over to the back and find the metal x-shaped bracket.
-
Use a spudger or plastic opening tool to pry the corners of the bracket off the four little green mounts.
-
-
-
Detach the fan/heatsink from the board by gently pulling up on the plastic white connectors.
-
-
-
Once the heatsink/fan is off the board, use the plastic opening tool to pry the plastic fan off the metal heatsink at the fan's rectangular clips.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

After researching replacement costs through local "fixit" places and Microsoft and cost ranging from $140 to $175 for fan replacement. Decided to take chance on this fan for Xbox one S. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HD3... Take time taking the bottom black plastic cover off once it gets started its easy. The corner by MS logo has tab that seems a bit thicker and took some doing to get off. Followed this guide did not have to do port removal. Once I got main white case off I just took hard drive and optical drive screws out. Just lifted enough to get to tab holding fan onto heat sink. popped them off and then replaced with this unit. Be aware when putting optical drive and hard drive back in place there are plastic tabs that match to holes on motherboard and let the two units sit down all the way. Also If I recall the hard drive goes in first and then optical drive. 15 minutes from start to finish. Worked like a champ right off! thanks for the awesome guide!

ACHTUNG!!! Schritt 15 ist UNNÖTIG bzw. hat so wie hier beschrieben womöglich FATALE Folgen für Eure Xbox! (Es sei denn Ihr wollt aus irgendeinem mir nicht ersichtlichen Grund den Kühler austauschen und nicht den Lüfter.) Denn was hier unterschlagen wird: Löst man den Kühler wie in den Bildern gezeigt von der Platine wird die Verbindung zwischen Kühleinheit und Prozessor unterbrochen und die Kühlpaste zerbröselt und verliert jegliche Wirkung!
Der Lüfter lässt sich auch OHNE Ablösen des Kühlkörpers relativ einfach von diesem abhebeln. Falls dennoch der Kühlkörper von der Platine abgelöst werden soll/muss (oder so wie in meinem Fall im blinden Vertrauen auf die Richtigkeit obiger Anleitung unnötigerweise entfernt wurde) UNBEDINGT Prozessor und Kühlkörper von der alten Paste befreien und neue Paste auftragen (Anleitungen hierfür finden sich im Netz).
Es rät sich auf jeden Fall an, die Wärmeleitpaste zwischen Kühlkörper und Prozessor zu wechseln (besonders, wenn sie bereits trocken ist und beim Ausbau zerbröselt), wenn man sich schon die Mühe macht und die Xbox komplett demontiert.
Die Anleitung zum Austausch der Wärmeleitpaste gibt es hier:
Ach ja: außerdem fehlt in der Beschreibung das Lösen der beiden seitlich angebrachten Funkmodule (in neuren Modellen?) und zwei zusätzliche Schrauben (B1 und B2) müssen auch noch entfernt werden, um die Hauptplatine lösen zu können. ;-)
Regulär alles da. Nur separat aufgelistet
