Id have to say, the Xcm Air Cooler, and addon fan. I got one from Xcm to review, and its still in my system. With a few mods you can have your cpu at around 35c and your gpu around 43c while playing a game.
You can read my review here, and I also put up a tutorial if you want to see how much work it is to install (its a joke to install it's so easy).

If you dont feel like dropping 50 bucks to get the XCM fan, go ahead and get the Talismoon Whisper, its an excellent fan and i can say that it has improved my 360's cooling performance

From review.

Now to my findings. I tested the 360 before and after using heat sensors, the first time around I used my own, and the second time I used the Xcm's supplied heat sensors. The placement of the sensors was exact for before and after. The results are very surprising.
After an hour of Oblivion I achieved 146f or 63c on the cpu, while obtaining 125f or 52c. I actually googled after this, and found my findings to be almost exact to other heat prob findings. I find it uncanny they also used Oblivion. It is the only game that has really pushed my 360. Gears of War has, but Oblivion is non stop rendering, which I thought was important for this testing. These are stock cooling temperature's. Now on to the testing of the Air Cooler, and Addon Fan.
After an hour of Oblivion play, with the fan on auto, I obtained 106f or 41c on the cpu, while achieving 122f or 50c on the gpu. As you can see, the difference between the stock cpu temperature, and the Air Cooler/Addon Fan temperature is very impressive. I was able to knock off 40 degrees f, or 22 degrees c. The gpu only netted 3 degrees f, or 2 degrees c. While this might not be as impressive, you have to remember these fans are geared towards the cpu and not gpu.
Now after an hour of playing, I switched the unit into manual mode and turned the fans up to their maximum settings. I achieved these results. 102f or 39c on the cpu, and 117f, or 47c on the gpu. I netted an addition 4 degrees f, or 2 degrees c, while getting a 5 degree f drop or, 3 degree drop c on the gpu.
