Large scale computer simulations of thermal convection in rapidly rotating spheres have been carried out with and without magnetic fields generated by the dynamo process. Relaxation oscillations and localized convection activity represent coherent phenomena of turbulent convection in the absence of magnetic fields. In the presence of the latter the coherent structures are destroyed and the heat transport is enhanced. A tendency towards saturation of the magnetic energy with increasing Rayleigh number has also been found.
