neutral  Tony M: Misses out the notion of '(heat)-sink' as well as 'fan'

disagree  Daryo: you forgot the "sink" i.e. the "heat sink" which is a different part, not always attached to the "fan" // you can get the combination fan+sink (as here) or each separately.

fan-sink
dissipateur thermique - ventilateur


Explanation:
sink = heat sink, dissipateur thermique, sur lequel vient se fixer le ventilateur.

"Un dissipateur thermique est un dispositif destiné à favoriser l'évacuation des pertes dissipées par les éléments semi-conducteurs de puissance1. Il s'agit de dispositifs généralement munis d'ailettes, qui doivent de préférence être montées verticalement pour faciliter le refroidissement par convection. "

agree  Tony M: ...as long as that definitely means "with fan" and won't be understood as simply 'ventilated sink'?
