To cool the processor
A heat sink is designed to disperse and transfer heat coming from a processor to an outside medium, so that it does not overheat the actual processor chip. It is usually used in conjunction with a fan to cool the device it is installed on.
The heat sink absorbs the heat from the processor and then the fan disperses the heat.
To sink the heat.
Heat sinks are very important components in computers. The purpose of heat sinks in computers is to keep the computer from overheating. The heat sink removes heat from the processor, keeping the processor cool.

It keeps your processor from melting. Do not run a PC without a heat sink on your processor. Processors can get to extremley high temperatures. The heat sink absorbs this heat and removes it using a fan.
Heat sink
A heat sink is a device commonly used to help move heat away from a processor. It consists of metal fins that absorb and dissipate heat generated by the processor through conduction and convection. In some cases, a fan is attached to the heat sink to enhance heat dissipation.
yes, usually mounted directly to the top of the processor is a heat-sink(piece of aluminum with fins, lots of what could be called fingers) its purpose is to dissipate(remove) heatA COOLER is a clip-on device that mounts on top of the processor; fingers or fins at its base pull the heat away from the processor.~tekno

If you buy a retail boxed processor, yes. You do get a heatsink fan (HSF) with the processor.
