YES ! it does ... they get VERY VERY hot !! I have the V6800 Pure and it gets WAY too toasty without the fan spinning. Most GOOD computer shops should be able to order a replacement "chipset hestsink and fan" for you which will be very similar in size to the original one. Shouldn't cost any more than about 25 - 30 bux TOPS.
