My 760XL also has a fan that kicks in when some internal sensor
deems appropriate. Usually it's when I've placed the XL on
some medium that doesn't allow heat conduction.
Moral: I usually prop up the back side of the XL a bit, enough
to allow some air space (and hopefully, air flow) to the
bottom.

For that matter, the 765D has one. It is noisy in a quiet
environment. I discovered it when it came on after an hour
or so of operation at home one evening shortly after I took
delivery. I expect most high clock speed processor notebooks
will have a fan unless they have a metal case to use as a
heat sink.
