I think he correct term to fill in the blank would be heat sink. The CPU might be covered by a heat sink, which dissipates the heat generated by the chip. A heat sink is any device or a substance that absorbs heat generated or from the heat reservoir. For a device, it would be one that has a fan or a peltier device in order to keep a system having a cool temperature. This is done to protect a system from any damage due to excess heat. This protect any device from overheating. A CPU surely have this device because it should be kept cool to protect the chips inside it.

How is temperature related to the physical change of a substance?
WINSTONCH [101]
When you heat something of cool it down you don't change the substance you might change the why is looks, but it is still the same substance. For example you cool water to 0 degrees Celsius it turns into ice but it still is two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen H2O. Physical changes will change state and/or form but it will still be what it originally was on the molecular level. Hope that helped.
