They're used to help keep the processor on the motherboard inside the Central Processing Unit (CPU) from overheating. Both are necessary: the fan actually protects all the devices inside the CPU from overheating, while the heat sink is used especially for the processor as it gets overheated quickly.

What components inside a computer case keep a CPU cool?
Answera fan AnswerFan or heat sink Answercooler AnswerCooling Fan and Heat sink. The cooler is the combination heat sink and cooling fan.
The lubrication system helps transfer heat from one part to another for cooling?
Yes, the lubrication system and fuel system both assist with engine cooling.
Where is the fan motor located on your 1987 Mercedes 300TD?
The fan motor on W124 E-Class cars is located underneath the windshield wiper motor. You need to remove the windshield wiper assy., and then you can access the fan box. The top cover is secured w/small latches. If the fan fuse is not blown, and the fan does not work, it may be the blower regulator, which is located underneath the fan assy. The regulator is a small piece permanantly fastened to a giant heat sink. Its a two hour job to replace. Best price for a new regulator and/or fan is www.autohausaz.com.
What's the best laptop cooling pad to use?

Where is sensor for cooling fans on a 1996 aurora?
There is no sensors for the cooling fans. there is a relay switch/circuit breaker. It is under the hood in a black box on the passenger side. If after replacing that and fans still continue not to work replace cooling fan motor. First find out which one of the 2 does not work. replace fan motor that is non operational. you must pull the radiator out to do this job. It is not that hard to do just time consuming.

What causes a car to over heat only if your heat is off?
The cooling system needs to be serviced. Overheating can be caused by anything that decreases the cooling system's ability to absorb, transport, and dissipate heat, such as a low coolant level, loss of coolant (through internal or external leaks), poor heat conductivity inside the engine because of accumulated mineral deposits in the water jackets or radiator, a defective thermostat that doesn't open, poor airflow through the radiator, a slipping fan clutch, an inoperative electric cooling fan, a collapsed lower radiator hose, an eroded or loose water pump impeller or even a defective radiator cap. The cooling system is a group of related parts that depend on proper function from each of its component parts to keep the engine cool. Service the cooling system and replace any under-performing or suspected weak parts. Any component part of the cooling system that is not fully doing its job will stress the others and your cooling system will overheat. The most important maintenance item is to flush and refill the coolant periodically. Coolant should be replaced every 36,000 miles or every three years. Anti-freeze has a number of additives that are designed to prevent corrosion in the cooling system, but they have a limited life span. The corrosion causes scale that eventually builds up and begins to clog the thin flat tubes in the radiator and heater core, causing the engine to eventually overheat.
How do you install radiator cooling fan for a 1990 ford escort lx with ac?

If the heat is off will the jeep over heat?
Yes, it can still overheat. Overheating can be caused by anything that decreases the cooling system's ability to absorb, transport, and dissipate heat, such as a low coolant level, loss of coolant (through internal or external leaks), poor heat conductivity inside the engine because of accumulated mineral deposits in the water jackets or radiator, a defective thermostat that doesn't open, poor airflow through the radiator, a slipping fan clutch, an inoperative electric cooling fan, a collapsed lower radiator hose, an eroded or loose water pump impeller or even a defective radiator cap.

Cooling fan won't come on after replacing coolant and antifreeze vauxhall corsa 1996?
== == The fan usually kicks in at about 96 degrees Celsius. Start it and leave it idling for a while. If it takes ages, you know the coolant is doing its job. If the fan doesn't kick in around the 96 degrees Celsius mark, would indicate dodgy thermostat. The sensor for the cooling fan kicks in at around 192 degrees so could it be that the coolant is now full and fresh the sensor isn't running as hot? If the gauge shows normal I wouldn't be overly concerned but I would keep a eye on the temp gauge.
