No offence but your friend is being stupid. The fan obviously makes the xbox cooler its a fact. I can tell the difference. i have played my xbox for 3 hours with and without a fan and the xbox doesnt even get hot when it has a fan due to it circulating the air. My xbox isnt at all covered and without a fan gets red hot. I had the rrod after about 5 months of play, since having the fan ive played no less and ive been playing for about 9 months now problem free.
Also sorry to hear that 07, not really surprised because freezing shortly after beginning to play is a common sign for rrod. Well gl with your new one
