no, not fake. the fins will always be hotter than the air moving over them (or they wouldn't work), and by the time the air has moved from the location of the sinks to where you're measuring the temp, it's cooled down even more.
actually its highly possible, my powermac using powerpc cpu goes up to 60 celcius, and the 360 has 3 cores, i think it can get to 100 celcuis very easily. just touch my powermac burns

The hottest I've had the air come out of the 360 vents was 150 F. Not necessarily hot enough to cook an egg on.
Real?
