[[Heat]] generated by electronic circuitry must be dissipated to prevent immediate failure and improve long term reliability. [[Heat dissipation]] is mostly achieved by passive conduction/convection. Means to achieve greater dissipation include [[heat sink]]s and [[Mechanical fan|fans]] for air cooling, and other forms of [[computer cooling]] such as [[water cooling]]. These techniques use [[convection]], [[Heat conduction|conduction]], and [[radiation]] of [[heat energy]].
