If you use
Does it turn off fullyCode:sudo shutdown -h now

I noted there that I have & have used some device(s) that keep running the fans if the machine is warm/hot after shutdown, which isn't done by the OS itself, but by the hardware/firmware itself, turning off when the box is cooler (but taking longer in summer).
On one such box; replacing the fan made it turn off faster (it wasn't spinning well it turned out, it was the fan spinning for longer that made me look at why & finally realize the fan was dying..)
Like guiverc said: normal. If the CPU/GPU temperature is high, the fan keeps running.
It's got nothing to do with Linux or other OS', it's HW controlled.
You see it on cars, where the cooling fan keeps running after the engine is off.
