With all of this, I hope I see less Unity games making my fans spin fast enough to compete with the new Starlink rocket. I know this might be quite a lot to take in for beginners but this scripts works perfectly well as a standalone; I've provided examples on how to use it, so if there is a point you don't get yet, just reread the tutorial one step at a time and you'll be good to go.

Thanks a lot for the script. I was wondering why my simple game was using this much cpu, and I couldn't find anything in the quality settings.

I went ahead and used Screen.currentResolution.refreshRate instead of 60. This way it depends on the users monitor. It works like a charm

Great idea, I didn't know about that. I went ahead and edited the script I posted to use the current refresh rate instead.
