A computer system comprises a chassis, an electronic component disposed within the chassis, and a cooling fan that comprises a motor support fixed to a housing that is coupled to the chassis and a hub disposed within the housing. A plurality of blades extend radially from the hub. A motor is disposed within a motor enclosure formed by the motor support and the hub. The hub is rotatably coupled to the motor such that the plurality of blades generates a flow of air around the motor enclosure. The system comprises a motor cooler comprising a flow path through the motor enclosure, where the flow path has a first opening and a second opening, and where the second opening is disposed within an area of lowered downstream pressure so as to develop a differential pressure between the first and second openings and generate a flow of air through the motor enclosure.
