A CPU is made out of silicon which is an insulator. Which means it resists electrons. When you have current leakage its leaking into the the insulator. So its going to act as a resistor. More current means more watts which is more heat. So the more leaked current the higher the temperature will be.

In some electronic devices, some of it will be converted to light or sound. but in the case of a CPU it will really just be heat.

Ummm didnt I say that in my post?
