Hot

Hot may refer to any of the following:

1. In general, hot refers to a high temperature. For example, if your computer processor is too hot, it causes your computer to reboot or shut down.

• How to tell how hot the CPU is running.
• How to tell the temperature of a video card.
• Is it normal for a laptop power adapter to be hot?
• Can a computer get damaged if it gets too cold?
• What should be the temperature of my computer processor?

2. With electronics and power, the hot wire carries the power. Often the hot wire is black when you have a black and white wire. However, to help prevent any bodily harm, always use a voltage tester to verify what wire has a voltage.

3. With cabling that does not have power (e.g., data cable), the hot cable or hot wire is a cable with a signal.

4. With an image or picture, hot is any overexposed area.

5. In an RPG (Role-Playing Game) or MMORPG (Massively-Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game), HoT is short for "heal over time." It describes a spell, ability, or effect that restores health gradually. For example, a player may cast a heal for 1,000 health points, but it heals for 250 health each second for four seconds.
