I haven't read about any harm they may cause... they remove heat much more efficiently than the standard fan. Nyko's latest version has a temp sensor that turns on automatically and stays on about 30 secs after power down. I'd say the fan noise is a little louder than when the drive is spinning (in other words, with both the DVD drive spinning and the fans running it is louder than without the intercooler), so there is that to consider.
