a part in a motherboard
It's exactly what it sounds like. The heat sensor for a processor measures the current temperature of that processor. This allows the computer to shut itself down if the temperature climbs high enough to cause physical damage to its components.
Install a heatsink!
Generally, a laptop processor should NEVER generate more heat than a desktop processor. That is because a laptop processor uses less power, hence the heat generated would be lesser.
To cool the processor
heat sink
The heat sink absorbs the heat from the processor and then the fan disperses the heat.
To sink the heat.

heat sensor
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.
A 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?
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.
