Do A380's have brake fans fitted like their smaller A320 cousins have as an option and if so, are they used in a similar manner?

While A320 turnarounds are often 30-45 minutes, on the A380 I would imagine that most turnarounds are in excess of 2 hours. I would have thought that was long enough to dissipate most of the heat from the landing/taxi in, while accepting that the taxi out alone will generate some heating.
