they flow more air in than out to the 360, causing it to heat up a lot faster. i've heard several stories too where the fan will melt to the back of the 360, and your warrenty will be voided because of that.
I dunno about that last post as I never heard of anything as extreme as that, however I used a Nyco Cooling fan (The EX model I think? Whatever the newer one is). Anyways I found that the fan drained alot of the power from the 360 and caused for sluggish gameplay, freezes and at one point a red ring error (not the RROD a different pattern). Anyways I took it off after that and never used it again, nor do I recommend them. If you really want a fan buya regular room fan and put it about a foot behind your 360 and use that. It is much safer.
After two RROD consoles I bought an intercooler and my third system is noticably cooler and has lasted longer than the other two. Take it for what it's worth.

Well my fan works great, I play for hours and itnever gets hot that much.
Yeah alot of people that critisize fans dont even have one. Some of the earlier ones had power issues but I bought mine about 4 months ago and it works great the 360 is way cooler than without it. Only one thing though it adds to the already loud sound of the 360.
