1. A method comprising:
- sensing a temperature of an electronic component of a computing device;
causing a fluid to move when a threshold temperature is detected;
circulating the fluid between a first heat transfer plate in a first part of the computing device and a second heat transfer plate in a second part of the computing device; and
sensing a level of the fluid in a fluid container.
