Explanation

The processor (CPU) is the most likely component to have a dedicated, active cooling method, such as a fan or liquid cooling, to prevent overheating. CPUs generate a significant amount of heat during operation, especially under heavy load, which is why cooling solutions like heatsinks and fans are commonly used to keep them within safe temperature ranges.
