The hardware unit that contains the CPU, the RAM, a hard disk, and a power supply is called the "motherboard."
The "CPU" (central processing unit) is the central part of the computer; it coordinates everything else. It is not quite the same as the box: the main box contains the CPU, but it also contains many other parts.
Most commonly, tower-style CPU coolers and some high-performance air coolers contain heat pipes. These heat pipes transfer heat away from the CPU to the cooling fins, where it is dissipated.
