    To be even more specific it is cooling the chipset "Northbridge" chip, which is what handles data transfer between the various buses for the most part. There is also a "Southbridge" chip which mainly handles I/O, but that one doesn't get hot enough to require any form of active cooling.

    Before I built this new system, I did a lot of reading and read about the 'northbridge','southbridge' chipsets but I never actually read where there was a cooling fan involved...and I didn't put the two things together....now I know....thanks.
