Unlike you I actually know what I'm talking about so I'm not afraid to be clear and concise. My mistake in thinking you might actually have something relevant to add rather than trying to deflect from your lack of understanding and how wrong you are.
Once for all:
1+1=2
CPU is made up of transistors and other electronic components that require power but lets take just transistors.
Each one takes so much power to change states between 0 and 1, that's why it's called digital.
According to that first formula power requirements adds up with number of transistors of which there are millions while some power is wasted because they are not ideal and have own resistance which adds up to heat energy. More heat causes higher temps which in turn cause higher resistance which causes even higher temps. That has to be dissipated before everything melts, therefore cooler needs to have enough dissipating capacity for CPU with more transistors.
If you didn't get it by now, back to elementary school with you.
