Phase change - a system of cooling whereby the cooling medium is a liquid that has a boiling point of somewhere around -80c. This is driven by a compressor to and fed through a heat exchanger.

Basically, it means cpu temps are between -50c and -30c, meaning some great overclocks!

Are you being serious? gfx = graphics.

Also - TEC = Thermoelectric Cooler. It's a plate consisiting of two metals, a current is applied to one side which creates a temperature gradient. Simply put, one side of the TEC cools down to -20c, the other side has a waterblock mounted to it to remove the excess heat. Also know as a Peltier.

Thermoelectric cooling - this technology was around in the 50's. It's also the birthmother of electrostatic levitation. When reversing the polarity of a generator so that it consumes rather than produces electricity, the generator will freeze and begin to levitate!!! First found in 1947, strangely 2 years before Roswell :O

True or false? I'll let you decide.

Ok so amiga was going to leave, then his wife told him to buy a levitating PC, so he is coming back again?

Wow, thats a game within itself!

I dont know whether to say: goodbye/welcome back/i knew you couldnt leave me/good luck with the kids/how do i make my computer levitate/hello and welcome to the TNGC have a nice 2 week trial.

Gonna have to delete as applicable im afraid.

Yes, because i have an Overclocked X800 Pro With a (semi)custom Artic cooling solution, in a 100% Custom built PC, and i don't know what it is :roll:.

Well, to be honest, the translation into upper class english doesn't really help understand what he was trying to say..
