The BIOS on the motherboard.
No , it servers as the fan for the CPU on the motherboard , this can be done with any motherboard
The CPU is not part of the motherboard but it is placed on the motherboard. The CPU is squared and about a quarter inch square in size. It is placed in the CPU socket. A heatsink/fan is placed on top of the CPU to keep the CPU cool which makes it pretty hard to see because the heatsink/fan covers it when it is in a working computer.
under the fan, on your motherboard :>
The brain of a computer is the CPU (central processing unit)
This message is generated by your motherboard's BIOS. The alert is referring to your CPU Cooler's fan which is located towards the top of your motherboard. There could be a smaller fan located in the middle section of your motherboard but that is your Northbridge chipset. It’s also possible someone has plugged in a case fan into your CPU fan header (the power plug for your CPU fan) so be sure to check your case fans as well.
Check the motherboard, see if the CPU is installed correctly
What are three important considerations when installing a CPU on a motherboard?
A CPU is a small square chip that is secured to the motherboard.
If the fan is spinning then the problematic parts are either the CPU or Motherboard. One way to test is to put the CPU on a good motherboard, and put a good CPU on the trouble PC's motherboard. This will eliminate the part you need to fix your PC. Then replace the broken part with a new one.
Before mounting the motherboard in the case I like to install the CPU and CPU fan/heatsink on to the motherboard. In fact, it is recommended to install the CPU & heatsink while the motherboard is still our of the case to make the job easier.
yes motherboard is a part of CPU
