Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Processors typically report their operating temperatures to the computer's BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). The BIOS can use this information to adjust fan speeds or take other actions to prevent the processor from overheating. CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) and RAM (Random Access Memory) are not directly involved in monitoring the processor's temperature. The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the component itself, rather than a place to report the temperature.
