I recently asked our local Andor rep, Charles Fanghella, about this issue
and his response may be of interest:
********************
Then fan is powered by the PCI interface card and cable, so as long as the
PC is on the fan will have power. It actually is not cooling the camera down
to your set temperature just keeping the electronics cool. There is no
problem with letting it run continuously, as the factory has a system going
for 7 sevens years round the clock. If you want to leave the PC on and stop
the fan just disconnect the interface cable from the head of the camera.
However, connect and disconnect only when you have closed your software

We have an iXon 860 and have been happy with it.
