I just built a PC recently and thought the CPU fan header was dead until I got into the BIOS (with no fan spinning) and found that the default fan curve had the fan at -30% from 25C to 75C.

A mechanism locks up the fan and supplies power to the stalled motor, bringing the CPU up to the desired temperature through resistive heating.
