The two most * Passive Systems - Usually consist of a heat sink or a heat conductive metal attached to the component. Passive cooling works by providing a larger surface to adsorb and dissipate the heat. * Active Systems - Add a fan to the heat sink and you are actively removing heat. The cooling fan can be dynamically adjusted to the load of the CPU or graphics card on most motherboards. * Liquid Cooling - High performance computers can benefit from a liquid cooled system. These types of systems circulate a liquid between the hot components and a cooling radiator. +* Thermal Paste - As an addition to all GPU and CPU cooling, a layer of thermal paste is added between the CPU and the cooler in order to avoid metal on metal contact, this thermal paste is applied as a thin layer which acts in order to disperse and absorb heat in order to avoid damage to the component. ## Environmental Considerations
