A computer fan is fitted inside a computer that checks that the temperature of the computer does not exceed a given point. With increase in temperature, certain circuitry in computer may melt down. So, to prevent this, the fan automatcally starts on sensing the high temperature and draws cooler air into the case from the outside, expel warm air from inside, or move air across a heat sink to cool a particular component.
