cpu cooler
Chip heat remover
A CPU cooler is a device that draws heat away from a computer's central processing unit to prevent overheating.
The two main types are air coolers, which use metal heatsinks and fans, and liquid coolers, which circulate coolant through tubes.
Stock coolers come bundled with processors; aftermarket coolers offer better thermal performance or quieter operation: I upgraded to a tower cooler for lower temps during gaming.
