WHAT IS CPU AND CPU FAN

                                                     Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The central processing unit (CPU) is the unit, which performs most of the processing inside a computer. To control instructions and data flow to and from other parts of the computer, the CPU relies heavily on a chip set, which is a group of microchips located on the motherboard.
The CPU has two typical components:

• Control Unit: extracts instructions from memory and decodes and executes them.

• Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU): handles arithmetic and logical operations.

To function properly, the CPU relies on the system clock, memory, secondary storage, and data and address buses.
This term is also known as a central processor, microprocessor or chip.



The CPU is the heart and brain of a computer. It receives data input, executes instructions, and processes information. It communicates with Input/Output (I/O) devices, which send and receive data to and from the CPU. Additionally, the CPU has an internal bus for communication with the internal cache memory, called the backside bus. The main bus for data transfer to and from the CPU, memory, chipset, and AGP socket is called the front side bus.
CPU contains internal memory units, which are called registers. These registres contain data, instructions, counters, and addresses used in the ALU information processing.
Some computers have dual or multiple processors. These consist of two or more separate physical CPUs located side-by-side on the same board or on separate boards. Each CPU has an independent interface, separate cache, and individual paths to the system front-side bus. Mutliple processors are ideal for intensive parallel tasks requiring multitasking.

The CPU fan is the most simple and ultimate thing that keeps the CPU cool and workable. Due to the excessive pressures and heat, the CPU becomes very hot and under such circumstances it is the CPU fan that makes the CPU capable of working properly. This small part is fixed in the inner part of the CPU and starts working as soon as the CPU is started.
