Deltona, no CPUs fry anymore. They throttle down. There isn't a single CPU out now by AMD or Intel that will fry if you remove the heatsink. Socket-A failures are long gone. In an office (or a bedroom) a silent fan is worth it's weight in gold. When you get a game going and noise doesn't matter anyways, it can speed up. Deekylie is most likely not an overclocker, so having a loud fan on a stock CPU is pointless.
I think Dee might be referring to the whole case as the "cpu", which is common for non-geeks. In that case, it could be a case fan Dee is looking for, which never work under thermal control because the air isn't hot enough (and if it is you're screwed) or it could actually be the cpu heatsink. Who knows? Dee will have to specify, and if that's not possible, take it to someone that knows what to do.
