What CPU fan works on my pc?

I recently upgraded my PSU to fit my new GPU; however, when I try to play some games that use more of my CPU, it heats up a lot. For context I have a HP Pavilion TP01and my CPU is a Intel 12th generation 12700. I am wondering how to check which CPU fans will work on my pc. (Sorry if the question is dumb I am new to PCs).

It looks like it might use standard LGA1700 socket spacing... if you can get the backplate off the motherboard. If you can't, then you're stuck with the cooler it came with. HP doesn't care to make their systems ugpradable.

yeah I realized how terrible of a decision I made buying the HP computer. I'll check and see if I can, thank you.

What exactly do you mean when you say it heats up a lot? Do you mean that the PC makes the room too hot or does the CPU itself get too hot? Do you know exactly what temperature the CPU gets to while gaming?

I downloaded and played Spider-Man Remastered, at one point during the playthrough my CPU reached 95°C. The room doesn't get hot, however the case does.
