A computer central processing unit (CPU) can perform millions of calculations each second to perform the operations that users demand of the computer. The more processes and calculations a CPU performs, the more power it must draw from the power supply, which can result in higher CPU temperatures. CPUs are
typically outfitted with a heat sink and fan to dispel heat, but if the CPU runs too hot it can cause errors. You can check CPU temperature by entering your system's BIOS setup utility.
