But why were the computational units on your system so toasty?
Was it because your game pushed your system too hard, or was it something to do with V-Sync?
Why Are the CPU & GPU on Your Machine Heating Up?
The CPU and GPU on a modern gaming machine can do a lot.
This causes the switches to turn on or off based on the clock frequency of the CPU or GPU.
It is this repeated operation of transistors in the CPU and GPU that makes your rig come to life.

That said, this very electricity causes your system to heat up.
But why is the thing that is powering your games causing your machine to heat up?
Therefore, as the current draw of a computational unit increases, the heat it generates also increases.
Why Do Games Make the Fans on Your System Go Crazy?
The display then extracts this data regularly based on its refresh rate.
It is this discrepancy that causes screen tearing; here is how.

At this time, the display fetches the data from the VRAM.
To solve this problem, we have V-Sync.
What Happens When V-Sync Is Enabled?
No one likes screen tearing, and to solve this issue, the gaming industrycame up with V-Sync technology.
To do this, V-Sync limits the frame rate of the GPU to a constant rate.
Why Do CPU and GPU Temperatures Increase When V-Sync Is Disabled?
When V-Sync is disabled, the display’s refresh rate and the GPU frame rate are not in sync.
