Abstract
An improved method for removing heat from electronic devices, such as computer modules, is described. A flow of gas, such as air, cools the components. The gas flow is sufficient to cool so called 'hot' components to their maximum operating temperature, and to cool the other components to their normal operating range. A liquid cooling system is also provided to cool the 'hot' components to their normal operating range.
