Explanation

A processor heat sink is a metal component (usually aluminum or copper) that sits directly on top of the CPU to absorb and spread heat away from it. Thermal compound (also called thermal paste or TIM - Thermal Interface Material) is applied between the CPU and heat sink to fill microscopic air gaps, dramatically improving thermal conductivity. Together these two are the standard, required components for CPU cooling in desktop systems. Liquid cooling and case fans are optional/supplementary. A 'Temperature Control Panel' is not a real standard component.
