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.
Computer cooling fan
under the fan, on your motherboard :>
The CPU heatsink, then thermal paste and the CPU itself.
I would have to say the CPU, the CPU is needed with any computer. If the CPU doesn't have a fan or heat sink it'll kill your computer, kinda like your brain
by electrical source computer fan works
Check the motherboard, see if the CPU is installed correctly
Pull the connector or cut the wire feeding current to the fan. The CPU might overheat and be permanently damaged.

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)
the central processin unit or CPU. if you were to look inside you computer the CPU would be under the big fan on the motherboard.
A socket fan is used to cool the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer. It helps prevent the CPU from overheating, which can cause performance issues or damage to the system. By maintaining a stable temperature, the socket fan allows the CPU to operate efficiently and effectively, contributing to the overall performance of the computer system.
To control the heat of the system which is used and it is fitted with cpu
