    First - you shall start using internet search engines. msp430 is not that much different from other microcontrollers so any application note about microcontroller-based fan controller will give you valuable information

    I'm more or less going to agree with Ilmars and say you need to do some research.

    Some pointers though - for any real accuracy youll probably want to get an external temperature sensor such as the TMP102 which communicates over I2C. Example code should be pretty easy to find.

    Assuming you just want the fan on or off you'll need to think on how you want to interface the fan to the MSP430, (optoisolater, relay etc).
