However hot it is allowed to get. To control this, means of controlling the temperature are employed (usually in the form of fans or liquid cooling.) The temperature that is mostly watched is the temperature of the CPU, or Central Processing Unit. A usual range for it would be 30-40 degrees centigrade.

The processor. It's capable of performing millions of operations per second. All that activity generates heat - which is why most processors have their own fan 'piggy-backed' onto them.
