Know What is CPU
CPU stands for Central Processing Units, namely computer hardware which is tasked with command and processing data from the software. Often referred to as the processor, or computer brain. CPU itself is an internal component of a computer. CPUs are small and square, containing several metal connector at the bottom to be inserted directly to the CPU socket on motherboard. Every motherboard only supports a particular type of CPU so you should check the motherboard specification before attempting to replace or upgrade the CPU. Generally on top of the CPU is usually installed a heat sink and small fan to help keep it not to get too hot.
