The "central processing unit fan" (HeatSink) is used to cool the CPU the reason the CPU needs cooled is it runs at extreme temps to be able to do the calculations needed for any task you ask your computer to do
There is a limit to how high the CPU can get before it will start messing up these are normally on the sites of the manufacture also sometimes written right on the di in a code
things that can happen when you don't have the sufficient cooling is the unit will just freeze and restart the CPU can burn out and you will have to replace it, and in some rare cases the CPU will continue to work but the time that the CPU will last will be significantly shorter
my best advice is use the heatsink

Where is the neon fan switch located?
Inside the CPU (central processing unit).
What is a combination heat sink and cooling fan?
It's quite literally a combined heat sink and fan. It's used to help keep a CPU -- Central Processing Unit -- from over heating.
What is the largest chip on the motherboard?
The brain of a computer is the CPU (central processing unit)
What is a heat sink and what is it used for?
Anything that creates heat that is surplus to requirements. Examples in electronic engineering would be microchips such as CPUs. An internal combustion engine APEX :)
What component is under the fan and heat sink?
A central processing unit (CPU), is under the fan and heat sink. The processor creates a lot of heat as it works, and would soon burn-out if not cooled.
Does the CPU supply provide power to a CPU fan or a case fan?
Neither, The CPU is the Central Processing Unit, it only processes information and bits of data the computer sends thru it. The motherboard supplies power to the case fan AND the CPU fan, which is supplied power from the PSU (power supply unit)
Where is the fan capacitor on central ac unit?
Either mounted to the fan or in the electrical compartment on the outdoor unit.
Where is the forced air fan on a central unit?
in air handling unit
What is the job of the cooling fan and heat sink?
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 are the fan units for in the computer?
The CPU (Central Processing Unit) has a fan. The computer tower usually has one or more fans to keep the interior cool. Some graphic cards and other components may also have a fan.
What is the main computing part on the PC?
The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is either a AMD or Intel processor. If you are using a desktop you will be able to locate it on the motherboard. Its under the heat sink/fan on your motherboard. Carefully remove your heat sink and you will find your cpu.
What is a contactor for a Central Air Unit?
The relay actuated by the thermostat which starts and stops the compressor and condenser fan in the outdoor unit.
