Why do computers need to be cooled?

Answer 1

For anything to ever occur, energy must be transferred. When energy is transferred heat is always produced. Heat is a spectrum between cold and hot. The faster things move (the faster the energy transfer) the more particles move, the more particles move in confined spaces, the more hot they become due to the consistent energy transfer (energy movement). If not cooled, the things that make a computer a computer would overheat and malfunction.
