Asus A8N5X motherboard fan failure

Okay so my fan on this mobo just died recently. I ordered a new one, but while im waiting for it, is it safe to turn on the computer and get some files or should I just wait for the replacement?

Are you talking about the heatsink fan that's on top of your cpu?..If it is..then- wait for the replacement.

No, it's not the heatsink....I originally thought the problem was the heatsink so I replaced it today only to realize that it's the chipset fan.
