Fan
The Xbox 360 has used multiple different type of fans for cooling the processors. The fans are controlled by the SMC using the Thermal Algorithm.
Dual Fan
Dual fan assemblies were used in the Original Xbox 360 and pulled air through the heatsink through a shroud. There are 3 different fans used from different vendors. For Xenon motherboards, the connector is a 4-pin connector, with a power and ground for each fan. All other models use a 3-pin fan connector with a common ground and power for each fan.
