Assuming you meant 'cooling fan' - It simply to prevent the processor overheating. Modern processors perform tasks at high speeds - producing vast amounts of heat. The internal circuitry of a processor includes of microscopic strands of wire. If they're not cooled by a fan - the heat generated can actually melt the circuits of the chip !

How is microprocessor linked with computer graphics?

Well, the processor is what runs the computer, but with out the other parts it is worthless. It is a big impact on graghics because of the graghics card is faster than the processor, it doesnt matter, the processor can only do so much. But, you can overclock and mutiply, then you start get faster speeds. The only problem with that, is you have to know the limit of the processor and have a good cooler, usally its a liquid cooling system.
