1. A printed circuit board (PCB) assembly comprising:
a plurality of components in said PCB assembly having two sets of different thermal properties over an operating range of said PCB assembly;
a first component set having heat generating properties;
a second component set having heat dissipating and magnetic properties;
means for thermally linking said first component set to said second component set whereby heat generated by at least one component from said first component set is dissipated by at least one component from said second component set.
